A nice church away from all of the toursits near the castle district. You can visit for free (they have offerings should you choose to give) and a gift shop as well. You do get a fair amount of people coming here as a pilgrimage. The Church is very simple and the original statue is smaller than I thought, but... More

A little bit away from the main tourist area but as a Catholic it's hard to bypass the original statue of the Infant of Prague. The church itself is rather ordinary from the outside but the altar for the infant was quite ornate. It is somewhat surprising at first site since the statue is actually very small, only about 18...

We visited with an interest to view the original statue of the Infant Jesus of Prague, as we have recognized this Image from earliest childhood both at home and in church. What we found was an endless stream of faithful at prayer, reverently pausing during the day to spend some time with God. The church itself is lovely, quaint, beautifully... More

While not having the most impressive façade, the church is absolutely stunning inside, with a big emphasis on white marble. It dates back to the early 1600's and is famous for its statue of "Infant Jesus".

This church with its famous "infant of prague" statuette is near a tram stop facing the same street as the tram occupies. Although it isn't massive like a couple churches in Prague it's very pretty, has no entrance fee, and the statue is lovely. There is also an exhibit of the many outfits the infant has worn over the years... More

Not huge or grand, but small, quaint and beautiful. In the PERFECT location; 10 min walk to Prague Castle & St. Vilnus Cathedral, etc. One could easily spend a day in this small section of Pragie.

Sprint over after the clock chimes, it closes between 1 and 3pm and costs a donation if you want, admire the dazzling statues of pious historical figures, avenging golden angels, precious icons encased in glass and gold and the most serene atmosphere infused with a sense of past events. Sit in the pews and watch the pilgrims funnel past as... More

We walked passed this church serveral times during our stay and it wasn't until the third day that we actually went inside and I'm so glad we did. The inside is absolutely stunning and the story of the statue of Jesus is very interesting. I would say its a definite must to have a look inside during your stay in... More

Free entrance, very nice from the inside and you can see the miraculous statue of baby Jesus. The souvenir shop is very expensive I recommend to go to the souvenir shop just... More
