Though it was founded way back in the 9th century its still pretty much alive. It is the largest castle in the world. However only parts of it are open for public. Cathedral is huge and beautiful. Its worth a tour here. Also, do not forget to visit during night. It look much beautiful and blend of colors is a... More

Simply beautiful and magnificent, and unlike anything else we saw on our Janaury 13 Euro-trip. Being African (and now Kiwis), we could not get over this 'foreign' architecture, culture and history. We arrived by using a cable-car/tram, which goes sharply up a hill. Then there's an 800m-odd walk to the Castle, all along a ridge that displays Prague below it.... More

The Castle is worth taking a lot of time to visit. Give yourself at least 3 hours. We were there in April so if you go during the summer plan for a big crowd because there were a lot of people wanting to see it! Many beautiful rooms and breathtaking views of the city. Only certain areas are open. I... More

The castle is close to the Malostranska metro stop. Head uphill when you exit the station. Tickets for the various buildings are available past the toy museum on the right hand side near the Golden Lane. At the time of our visit, the palace was closed. You can buy individual tickets for the church, lane, basilica and palace but it... More

Standing on a higher level than the rest of the city, it's impossible not to be amazed by some sights of the Castle. Unlike many European royal houses, Bohemian kings actually had the insight to build a castle that was big, beautiful and could blend with the city itself. Wonderful at night, with all the lights. Classic and medieval buildings... More

Still the center of Czech political activity, the Prime Minister works but does not live here. Only parts of the castle are open to the public including the cathedral, which is awesome. Worth getting on a tour to enjoy it thoroughly.

The largest castle in the world - the size of a town. Got a crick in my neck from walking around looking up all the time at the fantastic buildings - huge range of architectural styles and impressive buildings. Golden Lane, a cute (Disney-ish, but authentic IYSWIM) row of cottages, is worth a look. The main St Vitus Cathedral is... More
