About Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral

Prague Castle is visited on foot, moving between buildings, courtyards and passageways. St. Vitus Cathedral dominates the complex: inside, stained glass, chapels and tombs recall the coronations and ceremonies of the Czech monarchy that took place there. Save the morning for the interiors.

Continue through the Old Royal Palace and Golden Lane, depending on the circuit you choose. The workers' houses on the lane change the scale of the walk. Tickets and access to the gardens vary; decide what you want to visit before joining the queue.
