Las entradas te las da una mujer en la entrada, sin ninguna cola ni nada. Tiene para pagar con datáfono. La iglesia es una absoluta belleza barroca, nos encantó, estuvimos como 1 hora viéndola. La visita tambien incluye subir al palco superior. El QR nada más entrar te da un plano con una explicación de las capillas, esculturas, frescos y retablos, recomiendo escanearlo.

A mi pareja y a mí nos encanta visitar iglesias y monumentos religiosos en nuestros viajes por el arte que albergan, y esta no defraudó en absoluto. Es, sin duda, una de las joyas del barroco en Praga. El interior es impresionante, especialmente los frescos del techo y el órgano que llegó a tocar el mismo Mozart. Cada rincón está lleno de detalles dorados y esculturas increíbles. Una visita obligada si aprecias la arquitectura y el arte sacro.

La Iglesia de San Nicolás de Malá Strana es una obra maestra icónica de la arquitectura barroca y uno de los monumentos más importantes de Praga. Se encuentra en el corazón del barrio de Malá Strana. Es un ejemplo sobresaliente y emblemático del período barroco en la ciudad, diseñada por una colaboración familiar de arquitectos: inicialmente por Kryštof Dientzenhofer y completada más tarde por su hijo Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer entre 1732 y 1737. La iglesia destaca por su imponente presencia en la plaza, con una gran cúpula verde de 20 metros de diámetro y un campanario que ofrece vistas panorámicas de la ciudad.
