The Prague Castle in the Czech Republic is a must see .It’s not just a castle but an entire complex. It will take you all day to go through the grounds of the castle, but it’s worth it. It’s made up of garden, museum, cathedrals. The most famous cathedrals is St. Vitus. I’ve been to St Peter’s Basilica in Vatican... more

The Castle Grounds are open at night and that is a great time to take in the stunning neo-gothic architecture of St. Vitus and the rest of the Castle buildings. It is well lit and seems very safe, but the crowds are totally diminished. Bring your tripod because you will definitely want to take photos of the views, too. We... more

Inside the castle gates, near the exit, is the Lobkowicz Palace Museum. Enter by going back through the gates, past the guards where you exit the castle compound, and it's on your left. This family was in service to the Czech crown for over 400 years, and they have accumulated a first-class collection of art, musical instruments, ceramics, firearms, and... more

Okay, so that's a silly title but it was a fun time. We got a ticket good for 3 of the 6 venues and I know a lot of others have said it's a waste of money but we were interested in seeing as much as we could. St. Vitus was our first stop, but this is free anyway. This... more

Totally agree with the previous review (Jerome) - whilst Prague Castle is in a beautiful setting and makes for an interesting day out, there is no need to pay the over-inflated entrance fee as it gives you access to very little else (when we visited, two of the pay-for attractions were closed) and whilst we paid extra to take photographs,... more

The biggest medieval castle in the world doesn't look very medieval thanks to an Austrian make-over. The gardens are really nice too. Most of the castle you can walk around for free until midnight and it's better to come later to avoid the crowds. In the day they do a changing of the guards by the front gate that's fun... more

A good place to learn a bit of history about Prague. The best things to see there is Golden Lane and St George's Convent. The castle view was wonderful: we saw the old town towers, petrin park and petrin tower at the top, the Karlov bridge, neat side streets, roof top terraces, the opera house top and much more. Definately... more

The cost of the tickets was counterbalanced by the fact that they were valid for two days and this obviously meant that one didn't end up in culture overload. Lots of the Prague Castle area is free to wander round but the main buildings are not. The best things to see there in my opinion is St George's Convent where... more
