Prague Castle is immense and overlooks Prague, as it has for more than a thousand years. It’s the biggest ancient castle in the world.

Like all such ancient places, it’s undergone constant renovations over the years, and you can see the different additions through the centuries. The sites inside the castle are numerous: the changing of the guard at the main gate, the Old Royal Palace, Lobkowicz Palace (which has an exhibit covering Czech history), the Basilica of St George, the Royal Garden, the cottages of Golden Lane, the Summer Palace, and St Vitus Cathedral. It’s a good idea to plan your trip through the castle with your guide book or with their own excellent web site.

Hours change with the time of year. Best to check the website for times and prices of admission. But it’s definitely worth it. Plan to spend some time.
