Tips from locals
On picturesque Little Quarter Square in the Old Town area stands St. Nicholas Church (Kostel svatého Mikuláše), one of Prague's newer churches. Built by Jesuits in the 18th century, it's a fine example of High Baroque and is notable for its splendid interior with its unique 19th-century chandelier, as well as the large Baroque paintings by Czech artist Karel Skreta that adorn the huge cupola. Of particular note are the church's two historic organs, the oldest of which was built in 1745. The church also features a bell tower, which visitors are permitted to climb, from the top of which are great views over the church's huge dome and the old city. Try to time your visit to coincide with one of the regular organ concerts held here, including Mozart's Requiem and other notable classical pieces. English language guided tours are available. Address: Malostranské námestí, 118 00 Praha 1
