Plan at least 2 to 3 hours to visit the main buildings comfortably — the cathedral, the Old Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica and Golden Lane. If you want to explore the gardens, the courtyards and soak in the views over the city, allow a full half-day. The castle complex covers 70,000 m² so there’s no shortage of things to discover.

Reviews
Prague Castle is absolutely breathtaking. St. Vitus Cathedral alone is worth the visit — the stained glass windows are unlike anything I've ever seen. Plan at least half a day, there's so much to explore.

One of the most impressive historical sites I've visited in Europe. The Old Royal Palace and the cathedral are magnificent. Go early in the morning to avoid the crowds.

The views from the castle grounds over the city are stunning. Golden Lane is charming and full of character. Don't miss the Changing of the Guard at noon — it's quite a spectacle.
