The street connects Masaryk's embankment by the Vltava with Spálena Street by Charles Square; this road fork forms a small square. This street is also the border between the city districts of Prague 1 and Prague 2. The street is on a gentle slope, mostly built up by apartment buildings from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it became a road with many shops. Famous companies such as the evangelical publishing house and the Blahoslav bookstore (transformed into an antiquarian bookshop after 1990) or a pharmacy, from which a wooden Art Nouveau portal with a cut relief of Hygeia has been preserved, took turns here. Of the traditional restaurant, only U Bubeníčků remained under its original name. Currently, there are 162 companies, including the Czech Association of Pedagogical Research, a branch of the Faculty of Education, Charles University, optics, spices, oriental food, stylish furniture, cafes and tea houses, two hotels, a dance school, etc. The Belgian Embassy is located in Myslík House. kingdom. The name of Myslíkova Street dates back to about 1884; it bears the name of the local burgher Adam Myslík from Hyršov, Radlice and Košíře and the founder of the Myslík family from Hyršov, the name was created by mistake. The house on the corner of Myslíkova and Spálená streets did not belong to Adam Myslík, as the memorial plaque on the house states, but to Eliáš Myslich of Vilimštejn, a valet at the provincial plaques in the 17th century.
