Prague Castle (Pražský hrad)
Best time to visit
Early morning or late afternoon for smaller crowds and softer light for photos. Spring and autumn offer pleasant weather and fewer tourists than July and August.
Budget tips
Castle grounds and terraces are free to enter; interior sights use paid circuits, with adult tickets typically 250–350 CZK and discounts for youth and seniors. Buy a Prague Card or combined circuit ticket online to skip lines and save versus separate purchases, and bring ID for discounts.

About
Fakta singkat: Saat melangkah ke halaman yang luas, pengunjung sering terpana oleh saling bertumpuknya gaya arsitektur dari berbagai era, membuat setiap sudut terasa seperti lapisan sejarah yang bisa disentuh. Lampu-lampu redup dan suara lonceng memberi nuansa dramatis, sementara statistik mengejutkan menghitung ratusan ruangan serta koleksi seni yang kerap terlewatkan oleh tur singkat.
Sorotan: Di kompleks kuno ada katedral bergaya gotik dengan menara utama setinggi sekitar 96 meter, saat lonceng besar berdentang suaranya bergetar hingga membuat kaca-kaca kecil di sekitar bergetar. Pada 23 Mei 1618 dua pejabat kekaisaran dilempar dari jendela dalam peristiwa yang kemudian memicu Perang Tiga Puluh Tahun, dan setiap hari pada tengah hari para penjaga melakukan upacara pergantian dengan fanfara yang masih bisa didengar dari kejauhan.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, many paths are cobbled and include steep climbs.
- Arrive at opening or after 16:00 to avoid the busiest tour-group times.
- Photograph the city from the southern terrace near St. Vitus for wide panoramas, and shoot Golden Lane early for atmospheric photos before crowds.
- If short on time, prioritize St. Vitus Cathedral and the Old Royal Palace and skip longer museum exhibits.

4.0Visited late afternoon with kids and got slowed by the security line. Paid for the audio guide and full ticket but ended up skipping exhibits, so not great value for time.
Arrived at 8am and had almost no line. The full ticket covering St. Vitus and the Old Royal Palace was worth the price, and the city views were fantastic.
Came around noon and it was busy but doable. The cathedral is impressive and free to enter, but the paid circuit felt a bit pricey for what you see.
