Is St Nicholas Church (Malá Strana) worth it with kids?

DependsWith kids

With kids, it depends on the day.

Even baroque-skeptics tend to gasp at the soaring frescoed interior — it's a more overwhelming single room than St Vitus. The separate bell tower (a former communist surveillance post) adds a quirky climb and rooftop view. The catch: there's an entry fee for a church, and concerts here can be tourist-priced and uneven. The interior alone justifies the ticket.
