Malá Strana (Lesser Town) is a district of Prague and one of its most historic neighborhoods. It is on the left (west) bank of the Vltava River, on the slopes just below Prague Castle. The name distinguishes it from the more prominent districts of Prague on the right bank, with which it is linked by the Charles Bridge. Initially, when it was founded in 1257, the district was called the New Town beneath Prague Castle (Czech: Nové Město pod Pražským Hradem). When Charles IV founded the New Town of Prague in 1348, Malá Strana was renamed the Lesser Town of Prague (Czech: Menší Město pražské). In the 17th century, the unofficial name Little Quarter (Czech: Malá Strana) was used.[iew of Malá Strana from St. Nicholas Church
In 1419-1420, the Malá Strana was burnt down by Hussites. In 1541, the town was severely damaged by a fire that killed fifty people. After this fire, the city was rebuilt in the Renaissance style, and many palaces of nobility were built there.

Kampa is an island in the Vltava River in central Prague on the side of Malá Strana. Charles Bridge crosses its northern tip and is connected to the island by the street Na Kampě. It is separated from Malá Strana by a narrow artificial channel to the west called the Devil's Stream (Čertovka), a waterway dug to power water mills (no longer existent). It is supposedly named after a sharp-tongued woman who lived in a local home called the Seven Devils.

The Vltava is the longest river in the Czech Republic, running southeast along the Bohemian Forest and then north across Bohemia, through Český Krumlov, České Budějovice, and Prague, and finally merging with the Elbe at Mělník. It is commonly referred to as the "Czech national river." The Vltava River is 430.3 kilometers (267.4 mi) long and drains an area of 28,090 square kilometers (10,850 sq mi) in size, over half of Bohemia and about a third of the Czech Republic's entire territory. The river is crossed by 18 bridges (including the Charles Bridge) and covers 31 kilometers (19 mi) within the city as it runs through Prague. The water from the river was used for drinking until 1912 when the Vinohrady Water Tower ceased pumping. It is, however, the source of drinking water in case of failures or repairs to the water supply from the Želivka and Kárané sources. The Podolí water processing plant is on standby for such issues with the long section of the river upstream of the Podolí plant under the stricter, second-degree pollution prevention regulations.
The height difference from source to mouth is about 1,016 meters (3,333 ft), and the most significant stream at the source is named Černý Potok (Black Brook) or Teplá Vltava (Warm Vltava). The Vltava originates from a confluence of two streams, the Warm Vltava (Teplá Vltava), which is longer, and the Cold Vltava (Studená Vltava), sourced in Bavaria. The Vltava receives tributaries along its course, Otava and Berounka on the left and Lužnice and Sázava on the right side.
