The striking Baroque Theological Hall, Classical Philosophical Hall and Cabinet of Curiosities inside the Strahov Monastery. This small display of beautiful things is conveniently near Prague Castle and the Strahov Monastery Brewery. Why go? To photograph the two halls, which regularly make their way on to lists of the world’s most beautiful libraries.

The Strahov Monastery and Library (Strahovsky kláster) dates back to the 12th century and is the second oldest monastery in Prague. While its imposing gateway and churches are impressive enough, its most important buildings are its two beautifully decorated Baroque libraries. The Philosophical Library contains a variety of extraordinary furnishings, along with an exquisite ceiling painted by Franz Anton Maulbertsch entitled Enlightenment. The second library, the Theological Library, consists of a splendid Baroque room with a beautiful ornate painted ceiling by Siard Nosecky, a Strahov Monk, along with superb ceiling frescoes framed by detailed stucco work. The libraries contain many rare old volumes and manuscripts, including the famous 9th-century Strahov Gospel, while in the cellars are old printing presses along with the remains of St. Norbert, founder of the Premonstratensian Order. Also of note are the cloisters, which house a religious art collection and treasury, as well as the fascinating Strahov Cabinet of Curiosities, notable for its displays of historic artifacts from science. English-language tours are available. If you want to linger a little longer, consider dining at the Great Monastery Restaurant, or participate in one of the daily masses. Address: Strahovské nádvorí 1/132, 118 00 Praha 1

Strahov Monastic Library, awesome place to go when you feel like stying indoors. Pictoresque interiors and a collection of amazing more than 200 thousand books! Also visit the beautiful basilica.

From here (or from the park of Petrin) beautiful view to the castle. Nice walk through the garden to Malostranske namesti (very recommended walk, not invaded by tourists). Very good microbrewery also.
