St. Vitus Cathedral
Best time to visit
Arrive at opening or late afternoon to avoid tour-group peaks, with late light making stained glass glow; weekdays outside July and August are quieter.
Budget tips
Cathedral entry is included with Prague Castle admission when you buy the circuit that lists St. Vitus, and the Prague Card covers access; entry to the nave during worship services is usually free. Check the official Prague Castle site before your visit for current prices and any tower surcharges.

About
快速信息: 阳光穿透彩色玻璃，五彩光斑在石板上跳动，瞬间把庄严变成一种梦幻的体验。参观时你会被高耸的拱顶和内藏王室陵墓的祭坛震慑，某些彩窗的细节甚至需要用放大镜才能看清。
亮点: 教堂从1344年动工，直到1929年才最终竣工，建造时间近六个世纪，站在高耸的石柱间你能同时看到纯正的哥特尖拱和20世纪风格的细部拼接。靠近圣坛的昏暗角落保存着14世纪的壁画，画师用金粉和红赭色描绘面容，午后斜阳穿过彩色玻璃投下酒红与翡翠色光斑，石质台阶还带着古老蜡烛的嗅感。
Insider tips
- Dress respectfully, cover knees and shoulders when attending services, since the cathedral is an active church.
- Buy Prague Castle tickets online and head straight to the cathedral at opening to skip long queues later in the day.
- Climb the South Tower for sweeping city views, allow extra fee and expect narrow stairs and limited accessibility.
- Photograph the façade from the castle courtyard and capture stained glass from the nave in mid-late afternoon when colors are warm.

4.5Visited after lunch and it was packed. Entry felt pricey, the chapels are lovely but the long lines and limited seating made it tiring.
Arrived at 8:15am and beat the main crowds. The interior is breathtaking, the tower view was worth the extra fee and the audio guide helped.
