Spend a few hours exploring Prague Castle, the sprawling hilltop complex that has anchored the city for centuries. Walk through its courtyards and historic buildings, which span architecture from Romanesque to the 20th century.

📖

Full description

Prague Castle is a large complex of buildings spanning many architectural eras, from Romanesque to Gothic to the 20th century. Visitors move through courtyards, a cathedral and palace interiors, and should plan around three hours.

Reviewers advise taking the tram up to the top and walking down into the entrance rather than hiking up from below. Ticketing is organised around several main attractions with a combined option, which some reviewers found confusing, so it pays to decide in advance what you want to see.

Booking is recommended, and the grounds open early and stay open late.

Reviews

Super beautiful but there should be more restrictions with tickets. VERY crowded. The cathedral is absolutely beautiful and worth the visit! The main circuit is worth the 450czk, but it would be great if you could be able to buy separate tickets. I had letters to send and got the great surprise that there was a post…
