Prague Castle is a cluster of buildings with a double-spire cathedral that surrounds a central square, high atop and overlooking the city and the Vltava River. St. Vitus Cathedral is spectacular, some 700 years old with an interior that rivals the best in Europe. Impressive carvings, stained glass and paintings make this a very special hallowed ground. The changing of the guard was interesting, while musicians played from open windows. Panoramic view of the city, albeit rain and fog on our visit in September. Hint: follow behind the marching guard for a better central view through the opened gates.
A must go place when you in Prague!
You may need to spend over 4-5 hours to experience all the spot.
The castle is only part of the experience, you will also have chance to take a look the Gold Lane, and cathedral.
The view is very beautiful, really “THE PRAGUE”.
There will be lots of steps, remember to wear a comfortable shops.

The entrance to the castle and parks are free. We got tickets to enter 5 buildings. Experience was very nice. My favorite part was Artistic Street, where artists sell handmade things. The medieval room upstairs was amazing. Great experience
The castle looks impressive from down below. To get up you have to climb a lot of stairs! Not recommend if it’s a hot summer day. At the top you find a overprices starbucks and the museum shop. There is no way to fill up your water bottle as there is no fountain This was really disappointing. But the castle is beautiful. The tickets are fairly prices considering you can visit different buildings. The view from the top is also great.
Most of the palace is actually a free to walk around area. You need to pay if you want to visit the museum parts or a small street, or the toilet. The signs are very distinguishable so you need not worry. The front yard of the castle has a narrow garden with a great view towards Charles Bridge. Exploring the small streets to get to the castle was in my opinion just as nice, so take your time and walk around.
Prague Castle is definitely a place to go if you are visiting Prague. There is so much interesting history and the architecture is magnificent.
I’d recommend going to the visitors point and getting an audio guide as you walk around, as this makes the experience much more extensive.
Entrance to the castle was free, which is great. There were various exhibitions on, such as a picture gallery, which you could visit with a cost.
There was a nice cafe in the castle gardens to have a refreshing drink.

The main attraction of this place is St. Vitus Cathedral. The place itself is nice though. Good accessible by Tram. A guided tour is recommended but using the audio guide from ticketing office is good alternative. Easily consumes half a day.
A beautiful architecture from the outside, nothing special to see inside.
Most of all we liked the view from the tower with the 287 steps, you can see the beauty of Prague from all angles. Astonishing

This place is unreal!!!!! It is hard to believe that places like this still exist. This whole city is actually unreal. This is definitely a place that everyone (if you have a chance) should visit at least once in their life time. There are so many places to see and to visit within the city.
In the castle make sure that you visit the gardens as well. If you want an even better experience, go there late at night when there is barely anyone there and the lights make it turn into a n even more magical place.

For those who love history, Prague Castle is the place for you. Loads to do and see.
Beautiful views across the river towards the city centre. Recommend you take binoculars if you have them.
Bear in mind that if you approach on foot, it is a steep climb, but well worth it.
Will be enjoyed by all the family.

One of the most beautiful places to visit in the city. It is better to take public transportation to the castle than car. The best time to get there is early in the morning like 7 (even though the places inside open at 9) to take pictures when no one is there. There are at least 5 to 6 places to visit inside and you can buy the ticket combo for that. None is free even though the entrance to castle is free. Half a day is enough to see everything.
Prague Castle is located on a tall hill and has a view of the city below. It's like its own small town. I took many pictures here, and when I showed them to my friends, they thought the pictures didn't look like they were taken in real life. People are going to claim that it is edited. The most important advice I can give about anything related to Prague Castle is to plan to spend two separate half days there. I am saying this because there will be a lot of people in the mornings, but you can use your tickets for two days. If you go in the afternoon, you can visit three or four places before they close. You can come back the next day to finish your tour. That is the most optimal way to visit this attraction. The area is very spacious, and there are buildings all around. You may not be able to enter all of them, but the ones that are open and listed on your ticket are worth visiting. Definitely worth checking out and definitely worth the effort to go up.
An incredible place with incredible buildings and less likely views of the city. A must visit this place, a place of strength. Very beautiful, very diverse. Advice, do not go up by car, small streets, very difficult to separate, better to walk. Especially when you go up and down each building will be very beautiful and unique.
