Prague Castle is one of the main attractions of Prague. There will be little day to see all his treasures in detail. Here are the Cathedral of St. Vitus, many museums, small and cozy gardens, Golden Street, a toy museum. Every time I visit Prague, I visit this place, but I haven't seen everything, I'm not a big fan of museums, so I was only in the cathedral, on the cathedral tower (I recommend, the views are very cool) and toy museums. I have all the museums of Prague Castle, which are in the biggest ticket, it is always a backup option in case of heavy rain.

The climb up the hill leading to Prague Castle is not short and easy, but the view from the top is phenomenal! You can see a beautiful panorama of Prague. Entrance to the garden is free, but for a tour of the rest of the castle you will have to pay about 40 euros. By the way, after 18 the entrance to the Golden Street is also free, but no one will tell you this unless you ask yourself.

A visit to Prague Castle is included in the sightseeing tour. Be sure to take a walk. I would like to suggest one more interesting place, it is called Pleč nik's pyramid. It is located in the fourth courtyard. If you stand in the middle of the pyramid and shout, you will hear a stereo effect. Leave a visit to the Old Royal Palace for 2-3 arrivals in Prague.
