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
快速信息: 攀上那道古老城墙的台阶，能听见钟声与石阶的回声交织，俯瞰城市的屋顶像一幅红瓦拼贴画。宫殿群里的藏品与圣物多到能填满好几座博物馆，每个庭院的转角都藏着一段戏剧性的故事或出人意表的景致。
亮点: 每到整点，城门口的卫兵都会换岗，中午12点还有带号角和鼓的隆重仪式，整队几十名卫兵列队通过，靴声在古老石板上回荡，空气里能嗅到皮革和金属的味道。1618年有一次著名的掷窗事件，新教贵族把两位天主教官员从窗户扔下，惊人的是两人活了下来，据说是落在了一堆粪堆里，这个荒诞的细节至今还在老城的传说中被低声提起。
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.
