15 Unique Things to Do in Prague (Updated 2025)
"Housed in the 16th-century Church of Our Lady Victorious in Malá Strana, the Infant of Prague is a small doll with a miraculous backstory — brought to the city by King Ferdinand in 1628, thrown into the trash by rampaging Swedish soldiers, and later heard pleading to be honored — and it has since inspired a global cult of devotion (including the tradition of giving brides miniature replicas); the chapel is open to visitors." - Matthew Kepnes
