There is a reason why this is a MUST-SEE in Prague. Not just the castle itself but the whole sureounding area is really nice with very neat green areas and great scenic views from the balcony. 😊

Enter from the North side (see google maps) vice West and you'll face much shorter lines. Buy your tickets for Tour B a day ahead (250Kz), & then you can explore the grounds until the cathedral opens.

Make sure you get yourself to the tower to get the best seats in the house for the city of Prague! It's a 5 minute walk up the spiral stairs to get there.

Stunning place, really, everything here is so beautiful. Nice panoramic view of the city. Be sure to check out the gardens and enjoy the sun. The St. Vitus Cathedral is definitely a must see.

A must to visit while in Prague .. Go for STARBUCKS .. It’s one of the most beautiful branches in the world !!
Alexandre SilvaMarch 1, 2017
Prague Castle is awesome, perfectly preserved ! if imagines batles and wars !! the army room is incredible, have several types of guns, blades and old vestments !! for me is a best place in Prague.
Hannah ParvazMarch 27, 2017
There are a number of different routes to take through exploring the castle. For about 180c or 90c concession you can see the cathedral or learn about the historical religious significance of the site
Emma WijningaJuly 29, 2019
Come at 6 AM and skip the lines. You won’t be able to visit the church or golden street, but the quietness and ease in the early morning is worth so much more. Staff at the church is incredibly rude.
Shaileshwori SharmaJanuary 30, 2016
If you go to Prague without going here, you miss a big chunk of the city's history, architecture and view. Tip: The walk is a bit steep but the view and scope of the place more than makes up for it!
Angela WuDecember 21, 2017
Gorgeous at night with the best view from Karluv Most (Charles Bridge). As you get closer, the castle becomes overwhelmingly grand that you can’t appreciate the entirety of it.
Ana TimofeiDecember 6, 2016
You need one full day here if you want to explore properly this place. At 12 PM every day there is a change of guards, quite nice to watch. The view over the city is mesmerizing.
Mark BJune 25, 2016
Fantastic Castle in a beautiful setting overlooking Prague. Great representation of what castle grounds looked like during that Period. Go early as it gets crowded.
ErickApril 15, 2015
Be early, so you can buy your ticket and the audio guide, you'll need an entire day to walk and discover this Magnificent Castle, it's the Largest Castle in World, it's in the World Guinness Records
Amit GaharwarSeptember 20, 2015
Must see in Prague. Do note that it is a castle complex and has palaces, churches and quarters. It is huge, so give yourself half a day to go through circuit B. Reach via Tram 22 or Metro.
Basheera AbdulazizAugust 22, 2017
I didn't get to go inside the castle since I arrived late, but the area is definitely worth the visit. (Basilica doesn't need any tickets & is open most of the time.) Anyway, you'll love the place!

My favorite place in Prague and best time to visit is night in order to have this magnificent view and have less people around. It is just magical!
MuratNovember 11, 2023
A good 25-30 min walk uphill after the bridge. Two main and major attractions to see are cathedral and city view from above. Very scenic and great on a clear day.
Levent ErtogluFebruary 22, 2017
One of must see in Prague. Check Combined tickets to visit various locations like golden lane and cathedral
NSeptember 8, 2018
The castle is beautiful and you can go in and walk around for free but you need a ticket to enter some spaces like the golden lane.
Somayeh KJune 9, 2019
Fantastic view over the city! The cathedral and the Golden Lane were my favorites. Don’t waste time in a long queue! Look for other points in the castle area selling the entrance ticket.
Khaled ☤July 28, 2015
A must see when in Prague! Characterized by its gothic nature, you'd really be amazed once you see it in person!
Chris R (thechristophe)November 3, 2015
Pristine, a little too pristine... Get tram 22 and walk down the hill through the castle, rather than up the hill from the town. Climb the tower for a nice view of Prague.
Prabu ThirunavukarasuFebruary 16, 2016
Right, it's kinda beautiful to be honest. Awesome view, up from the castle. Can see the whole Prague city from above. This pic, is from the inside of St. Vitus Cathedral
Sarah RocheJuly 9, 2013
I chose to not worry about the tour and to just wander the castle, grab a bite to eat and shop. Worked well for me. There are a number of secluded courtyards to sit and relax if you look for them.
Ayush AggarwalMay 24, 2016
Very crowdy place. You should have time to go inside castle. Best place to walk and see the great structure made in old time
Wes MorganJanuary 30, 2017
A wonderful place - dripping with history. If you're a stamp collector, there's a postal office in the courtyard. If you're there at noon, catch the changing of the guard.
Radovan RybovicMarch 29, 2019
One of the most beautiful places on this earth, love it at night even more. Visit it every time you step by.
Otel.comFebruary 9, 2012
A visit to Prague won't be complete without making a stop to this castle, the largest in the world. Aside from looking at the amazing detail, don't miss the changing of the guard happening every hour.
Social News NetworkDecember 5, 2013
If you want to explore the castle grounds at a lower risk of encountering pickpockets and large crowds, visit late at night. The grounds are always open and are pretty close to empty past 10:30 p.m.
Phat BuoyNovember 6, 2014
Stunning castle and grounds. There's more here than meets the eye. Beautiful architecture and fantastic views. Lovely romantic walk back down - a must see in Prague
Ben EngenJuly 14, 2022
The sprawling "castle complex" is technically the largest in the world. But it's the cathedral that makes this awesome. Crazy tourist trap, plan ahead to avoid buying water/food inside.
a rAugust 23, 2012
Said to be the biggest castle in the world.better be prepared to walk up the stairs (290 steps? Or 190? I don't remember) But it's worth the amazing view! Make sure to walk around to see the gardens!
Bryan IraceMay 20, 2017
Plan to spend a few hours over here, walking around the castle. You can see a bunch of it for free but there's also at least one paid tier that gives you access to more exhibits.
NoridaDecember 20, 2014
Spotted the guards change at twelve and it was very interesting. Place yourself at the left entrance to be right in front of the action.
Io As SoonSeptember 19, 2017
Awesome place. The cathedral is in the middle and you have a lot of thing to visit in this place with a beautiful sight of Praha when you are in the gardens
Lucy HayesJanuary 14, 2020
The cathedral is beautiful. You have to buy a ticket to be able to stand right in front of the Mucha glass but you can still see it from an angle without a ticket.
hussein sOctober 13, 2019
One of the biggest in the world. Its history stretches back to the 9th century. St Vitus Cathedral is located in the castle area. Don't forget to visit the Golden Lane
Anthony MackayFebruary 20, 2014
There is a lot to see & it's well worth the time. Some of which is free. Short Tour covers many highlights.
Alejandro Martinez FarinaSeptember 8, 2018
Beautiful castle with mix of architecture rebuilds and lots of history. Very impressive and a must if you visit Prague.
Olaf SchulzFebruary 5, 2018
The famous Prague castle . You can visit it free of charge . Change of the guards everyday at 12:00 o’clock .
Amy HSeptember 27, 2016
You can easily spend half a day here. I would recommend purchasing the B circuit ticket you will be able to see enough with this
Alex PerinDecember 15, 2014
Definitely a must see in Prague! Make sure to have lot's of time at your visit there!!!
Aline BrandãoOctober 13, 2015
With several beautiful sights to see, a visit to Prague Castle should take half a day at least. Don't bother buying the license for photographs, it's only for limited places.
Anna JamesOctober 10, 2015
Take a break and enjoy the best hot chocolate with rum and cream in the small cafe on the left side of the cathedral.
Sonadora LNovember 15, 2016
Beautiful castle and chatedral St.Vitus. Prague itself is a city you just fall in love with.❤
AEROLUCIFERJuly 22, 2012
Deep history is gonna touch you when you step in to Prague castle. Very pretty castle soldiers are standing and watching the castle for piece. Prague castle is jewelery of Prague. GO!!
Purple TravelAugust 2, 2012
The pièce de résistance of Prague’s shining cultural gems, the castle has been the seat of Kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman Emperors, Presidents and even the Czech Crown Jewels.
Dan BlackburnNovember 19, 2018
Pretty decent. Cathedral is amazing and definitely worth it and views are stunning but some stuff that we paid for wasn’t really worth the cost.
Natalia KotovaApril 13, 2015

I love that place for a walk around especially during the night! Amazing view!
