you have an amazing assortment of buildings I would recommend an official tour as there is so much to do, there was no down side spent the whole day amazing

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

Plan a whole day to come here....there are museums of all sorts, so many places to see! So much history! Every inch has a story!

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.

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
