Overall, it was quite nice, especially the park area overlooking the city. However, what was annoying is that very few guidebooks (like Lonely Planet and AA) emphasize the point that the most picturesque parts of the castle grounds are free, which we didn't find out 'til I noticed that there was no one collecting tickets to get into St. Vitus... more

My husband and I were just in Prague and one day we visited the Prague Castle. We bought a combination ticket that included admission to the Castle, the Basilica and the Golden Lane. The tickets were extremely expensive (compared to other castles and palaces we visited on this trip) and there wasn't a lot of bang for the buck! The... more

There are two things to clarify first: 1. "Prague Castle" is not a traditional castle structure with a big keep & towers, but rather walled in grounds that contain a number of buildings, such as small palaces, churches and museums. 2. This review is primarily for the castle grounds themselves, as well as the sights you see by buying the... more

The castle is massive. So if you could give yourself a chunk of your day to tour this, you would be able to take advantage of all the rooms. I used my ISIC student card so there was a discount. I think this is a 'fun for all' castle. They've got some really neat medieval stuff. You can even do... more

Prague castle is amazing to look at but is a bit of a hike up stairs to get there (for those slightly less physical). Prepare yourself for crowds and crowds of people. But it is pretty and a great view over Prague. more

A visitor wanting to see all of Prague Castle could easily spend an entire day there - when we went we spent several hours and didn't come close to seeing everything. Because you can wander much of the grounds for free, there are always a ton of people there, making it very crowded. It was tough to tell how many... more

I really enjoyed being in Prague and being able to see this castle. It was definitely worth the trip over since we were close and had the time but I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to see it if you weren't planning to make a trip to Prague. more

We were disappointed since you couldn't really get in the castle. The church was beautiful but going up in the tower was not worth it. more

We just returned from Prague, and spent an entire day visiting Prague Castle. First of all, I would suggest that unless you are quite young and very physically fit, save visiting the castle for your last day. I say this because we were so paranoid about taking the "pickpocket trams" to the Castle, or taking a "scam cab ride", that... more
