By integration of several houses there arrised complex of buildings with large courtyard where since 13th century markets were held. Gothic and Rennaisance houses offer pleasant sitting in many restaurants, bars and clubs.
Ungelt is the name of an old mercantile centre dating back to the end of the 12th century. Under Charles IV every merchant passing through Prague had to spend several days in Ungelt and offer his goods there.
Today, in this area of former inns and stables you will find interesting arts and crafts shops selling mainly Czech goods. As in the old days, the local restaurants again entice people with delicious specialities. Sitting outside is possible from April onwards.
Shopping tip: If you're looking for something special visit Ungelt Courtyard, behind the Tyn Church, where small shops sell wooden toys and marionettes. You can as well pick up some Art Nouveau antiques from Antique Ungelt.
Restaurant tip: Visit café and club of Restaurant Mctamorphis, a popular meeting place in the original Blue House. The house is located in the Týn Court in the Old Town's Ungelt and is a UNESCO heritage Site along with the square as a whole. Part of the house is formed by the original east gate of the Ungelt. In the cellars on the ceiling is the original plaster dating back to 1689.
Address: StupartskA 5/636, Prague 1
