Prague Castle

View of Prague Castle and Old Town, Prague, Czech Republic.

Looming high above the Vltava River, Prague Castle (Pražský hrad), with its serried ranks of spires and palaces, dominates the city center. Within its walls lies a fascinating collection of historic buildings, museums and galleries: home to some of Czechia’s greatest artistic and cultural treasures. The grounds of the Castle complex are free to enter, though to see the interiors (including adjoining St Vitus Cathedral) requires an admission ticket.
