Prague Castle
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
Hitre informacije: V tistem ogromnem kompleksu se razprostira prava zgodovinska zakladnica z več kot 700.000 kvadratnimi metri, kar ga dela enim izmed največjih starodavnih gradov na svetu. Občutek mogočnosti dopolnjujejo bogato okrašene dvorane, veličastne katedrale in čudoviti vrtovi, ki obiskovalce popeljejo skozi stoletja umetnosti in oblasti.
Vrhunci: V enem od dvoran je na oknu vklesana skrivnostna simbolika z 22 zvezdami, ki naj bi predstavljale zgodovinska obdobja. Vsak dan ob 12. uri stražarica izmenja stražo na način, ki je ostal nespremenjen že od 16. stoletja in vključuje natančno usklajene gibi ter glasne trobente za povzročanje vtisa.
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.
