But still very crowded, even in late September. Lots of schoolkids. Still, the cathedral itself is a showstopper, though the tower was closed when we went. Be sure to check out the portico on the side of the church with the gold sculptures of the signs of the zodiac on the gate. more

A very nice, but not great cathedral. It was nice that they do not charge for admission, but the result is that it is very busy and there was a long line the day we visited. Certainly worth a visit, but not memorable. more

The biggest and probably the most important Church in this country. A gothic beauty. Anyone visiting Prague should put this on their must see list. more

One can become jaded (as I have) by seeing too many Gothic cathedrals---this one is not worth standing in line for in my opinion. The stained glass is always beautiful but not close in quality to say the cathedral in Reims, France and many others.Except for the views, the tour of St. Vitus and the Prague "castle" were not in... more

Several other reviewers have done a good job of capturing the beauty of St. Vitus. All I will add is that I've never seen so many gorgeous stained glass windows in one location. The building is worth the visit for the windows alone. I've attached several photos (including one by 20th century artist Alphonse Mucha), but it is impossible to... more

St. Vitus Cathedral, a gorgeous gothic structure that overlooks all of Prague, is well worth a visit. It is located on the Prague Castle grounds and you and both getting to it (by walking through the grounds) and going inside is free. Within, you will find some gorgeous stained glass windows, including one done by the famous Czech Art Nouveau... more

St. Vitus's Cathedral was the highlight of my trip to Prague and the most beautiful cathedral I've ever been in (surpassing Notre Dame as my previous favorite)! I cannot stress how gorgeous it is inside; the pictures don't come close to doing it justice. Because St. Vitus's is so beautiful, there are a lot of people wanting to visit, and... more

This cathedral is beautiful inside. And while you do have to wait inline and outside to be let in, this provides that it is not packed like other cathedrals. So you can enjoy yourself and the space without being bumped and shoved. The ability to go up the tower is pretty awesome. There are some great views. However, the climb... more

Located within the confines of the immense Prague Castle, St. Vitus is the dominant feature of Prague, the spiritual symbol of the Church, and a major, and heavily visited, stop in any trip. I visited St. Vitus during my recent trip to Prague; several things to update since the previous reviews: 1. The cathedral is no longer included in the... more

This Cathedral was much like any other (but then i have had the luxury of viewing some stunning European Cathedrals). So if you like them you will enjoy this. It is really the only part of the Hrad complex worth seeing (apart from Golden Lane)! The stained glass is fabulous, for those who like that kind of thing. the enourmous... more
