About these names
Prague is small enough to walk, but the hills and cobbles slow you down. The castle is on a hill on the west bank; the Old Town Square, Josefov and the New Town are on the flat east bank; Malá Strana links them below the castle. A first visit needs four clusters: the castle, the bridge and Lesser Town, the Old Town, and the New Town with Wenceslas Square.
