How to get to the Golden Lane (Zlatá ulička) in Prague?
I am confused whether Golden Lane (Zlatá ulička) is a regular street or a part of the Prague Castle (Pražský hrad) that can only be entered with a ticket and at certain times. I read that it is, in fact, a part of the Castle, but also just a street. I am only interested in seeing the street without buying a tour around the Castle.
Thus, my questions are:
- Is the Golden Lane a regular street or a part of the Castle?
- Is there any way to get there without purchasing an entrance ticket to the Castle? If so, is it free?
