Prague Castle (Pražský hrad)
The largest castle complex not only in the Czech Republic, but anywhere in the world, forms part of Prague’s distinctive skyline. Stroll through the castle courtyards, see the Old Royal Palace, explore the Cathedral of Saints Vitus, Wenceslas and Adalbert, visit Saint George’s Basilica, and wander down the picturesque Golden Lane. We also recommend a meander through the Royal Garden, where, besides its numerous enchanting nooks and crannies, you will come across Renaissance gems – the Ball Games Hall and Queen Anne’s Summer Palace, also known as Belveder. Founded in the 9th century, Prague Castle became the seat of Bohemian kings and then Czech presidents and has been a symbol of the Czech state for more than a thousand years.
