Prague Castle tickets & excursions
Prague Castle, founded in 870 AD, is the main tourist attraction in Prague. Located in the castle district (Hradcany), it is the largest ancient castle in the world, covering an area of more than seven football fields.
The castle has always existed for the residences of Czech kings for centuries, and is now the residence of the President of the Czech Republic. Its history begins in the 9th century with the foundation of the fortified element by Prince Borzhiva. The territory grew as each ruler made his own additions, creating different styles. The complex includes three courtyards and an intriguing mix of palaces, halls, churches and fortifications. St. Vitus Cathedral, towering above the entrance to the Third Courtyard, is the dominant building in the city.
The first stone in the cathedral was laid by Emperor Charles IV in 1344, but it was built and rebuilt over the centuries, and the triple opening dates back only to 1953. Take your time and roam the courtyards, but for those who are seriously interested in sightseeing in Prague, it would be a good idea to enter any of the buildings, observation towers, museums and art galleries or try to find the famous and secluded Golden Lane.
