Prague Castle

Prague Castle ranks 2nd in the list of best places to visit in Prague. The Gothic St Vitus Cathedral dominates the Prague Castle backdrop, and its stained glass windows (including one by Alphons Mucha) are worth venturing inside to admire. Prague Castle is a castle complex in Prague 1 Municipality, Czech Republic, that was erected in the 9th century. It is the official residence of the Czech President. The castle served as the seat of authority for Bohemian kings, Holy Roman emperors, and Czechoslovakian presidents.

There are guided tours available to take people through individual chambers, but a free solo ramble through the gardens is often just as enjoyable. A few favorite stops along the road include the tiny dwellings of Golden Lane, the Romanesque façade of St. George's Basilica, and the manicured landscapes of the South Gardens. Every day at noon, the castle guards at the gates are changed. Exploring every nook and cranny of these massive fortified grounds would require an entire trip, so do your research ahead of time to narrow down your interests.
