Full description

The Old Royal Palace is one of the oldest parts of Prague Castle, developed from a Romanesque palace of the 12th century and expanded in Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its principal space is Vladislav Hall, a large ceremonial room used for royal events.

Reviewers note it is not the most visually dramatic part of the castle, but its historical atmosphere makes it rewarding to explore, as visitors walk through old halls and chambers once used by Bohemian princes and kings. It requires about 45 minutes and is included in castle circuit tickets, so it works well as one stop within a longer day at Prague Castle.
