Prague Castle, Czech Republic
Top 19 in Top 25 World's Most-Visited Places
Prague Castle, Czech Republic perched on a hill across the river from the city center, casts an imposing air over its surroundings. The castle is an extraordinary collection of buildings dating from the ninth to the fourteenth centuries.
Stroll across the elegant 14th-century Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava River and up the hill to explore the castle complex's small, tortuous alleyways. The castle is one of the largest in the world, and there is a historical building, church, or open plaza at practically every corner. The castle was a seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. The Bohemian Crown Jewels are kept within a hidden room inside it.
Address: 17. Listopadu 1, Prague 11000
