According to a report from Radio Prague Today:  Prague Castle’s famous Golden Lane is to be closed for at least one year for its most extensive restoration ever. The busy tourist destination will be closed from March and work will focus primarily on the obsolete sewer system.

Work will likely be slowed by the archaeological research that almost always accompanies excavating work in Prague’s historical areas. In this case, workers will be excavating some six meters and thereby giving archaeologists their first opportunity to carefully examine this part of Prague Castle.

Golden Lane preserves the last remnants of the small residential buildings that were home to soldiers and goldsmiths until the mid-19th century.

But better yet, get yourself to Prague soon.  Of course, if you can’t make it before the closure, don’t worry.  There is more to see and do in Prague than any one vacation can encompass.
