Part of the Royal Route, Nerudova Street is still amazing unprepared travelers, showing them well-preserved houses in the Baroque style, decorated with emblems of which is called once a particular house. This tradition existed in Prague until 1770, when Empress Maria Theresa ordered to enumerate all the houses in this city. But the old name of homes were left, and now we can see and the house "The White Swan" and the house "Two Suns" or "Three Black Eagles." Fantasy inhabitants in those days had no boundaries. Each owner put on a facade of emblems, logos, that would remember and aroused idle public enthusiasm.

His street name was in honor of the famous poet Jan Neruda, who was the son of an innkeeper, up here (in homes №44, then №47) and became famous not only outside, but also their country.

Nowadays the street is a pedestrian, although it can be seen parked cars belonging to local residents. The street is located, in addition to historical buildings, souvenir shops, restaurants and embassies. Fashionable place, attracting the attention of the crowds, so carefully choose the time to make a promenade on Nerudova street, so as not to get lost in the general mass of people and make beautiful pictures.

Interestingly, when in the middle of the street were installed Strahov gates that were part of the city's fortifications, then they are removed, and the street has gained solid look.

Local houses are famous not only for its logos and tenants. For example, the house "The Red Lion" once belonged to the painter Peter Brandl, and the house "At three violins" - three generations of craftsmen, are made violin. By the way, it says that on moonlit nights near the house you can hear beautiful music. This three demon trained violin.
