Create an itinerary including Prague Castle
Looming above the left bank of the Vltava River, Prague Castle claims status as the largest castle complex in the world. Dating back to the ninth century, the imposing structure occupies nearly 70,000 sq m (753,000 sq ft), its grounds so big they include four churches and four palaces, as well as five different gardens. Once the seat of power for kings of Bohemia and Holy Roman emperors, the castle now serves as the official residence of the country's president. The structure has undergone four major reconstructions since the 12th century, and its blend of architectural styles earned it a spot on the World Heritage List.

  • One of the top things that you must do while you are in Prag. Simply amazing. It is not just the castle by there are amazing other sights inside the area.

  • Prague Castle is worth the uphill walk even if you decide not to queue and pay admission! The views over the city are spectacular. You can enter the grounds free after an airport style security...

  • Beautiful church inside the castle grounds. Need about 1.5hr to 3hrs depending on your speed. Ticket are bought at information booth. Nice place to wander around outside if you don't want to go inside. Lovely park ground and architecture. Worth visiting twice if your feet feeling okay.
  • The church inside the castle is really amazing. Just make sure you wear comfortable shoes and try to avoid the busy time. We went there around lunch time, a lot of tourist groups and the restaurant is a little bit full as well. It will be better to come later, so you can enjoy a nice sunset view while having a nice coffee on the rooftop.
  • Absolutely amazing venue. Superior views across Prague. I was very impressed with the food service. I was lucky enough to be invited to a special dinner. I was particularly impressed that the staff were so attentive that before my drink had finished I was presented with a drink and they remembered what I was drinking. Absolutely phenomenal. The main lady running the service was a pleasure speaking with and clearly understood how to make guests feel special. Very impressive, it's rare that I am blown away. The venue is fantastic, the balcony for drinks reception is amazing. The food was truly amazing, and the service was spectacular.
  • I recommend going early in the morning (before 8am) or in the evening (after 5pm). During these hours, the crowd is usually low, and you can enjoy and absorb more of the castle's beauty. I definitely recommend to go to the top of the lookout tower, as it provides a spectacular view of the entire city.
  • Very beautiful part of the town. Consider to get water and plan more time for the walk during the summer: the hill is steep and under the sun its like going to gym😅 The view from the upper part is breathtaking. On the streets there are a lot of cafes with coffee, ice-cream and sweets.
