Prague is home to the largest castle in the world

Prague Castle is the jewel in the crown of Prague's cityscape. An intriguing fact about Prague is that the castle complex, which is in the city's Hradcany neighborhood, measures 70,000 square meters. Prague Castle, one of the biggest castles in the world, is perched atop the hill and serves as the national emblem of the Czech Republic. The castle is massive and, along with St. Vitus Cathedral, contributes to the picture-perfect postcard view of Prague.

Many of the architectural trends from the previous millennium are represented in the castle structures. The Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, the Romanesque Basilica of St. George, a monastery, as well as several palaces, gardens, and watchtowers are all part of Prague Castle. Tourists can access the majority of the castle's areas. Numerous museums are housed in the castle, including the National Gallery's collection of Bohemian baroque and mannerism artwork, an exhibition on Czech history, the Toy Museum, and the Prague Castle Picture Gallery, which is based on Rudolph II's collection. The courtyard of Burgrave Palace frequently hosts the Summer Shakespeare Festival.

The UNESCO-listed Prague Castle, built in the ninth century, is the city's most important landmark. Don't forget to visit areas like Kutna Hora, Cesky Krumlov, or Karlovy Vary if you enjoy visiting UNESCO sites. One of the most visited sights on the website is the castle, which is centered around St. Vitus Cathedral. Every year, more than 1.8 million people visit it.
