Why go
Come on the first day, when the courtyards open. By noon the square is crowded.
Where to stay
Sleep here if you want the cathedral at opening time. In the evening the streets below are livelier, so the suitcase is easier in Malá Strana.

The morning loop runs from the Royal Garden through the castle courts to Loreta. The courts are open to the sky, and Strahov sits west of the main gate, easy to leave aside if you only walk through the palaces.
