Prague Castle

  Perched high on Hradčany Hill, Prague Castle is a sprawling complex that has served as the seat of Czech kings and presidents since the 9th century. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is notably the largest ancient castle in the world, covering an area of almost 70,000 square meters. Visitors can explore its stunning Gothic architecture, which culminates in the impressive St. Vitus Cathedral, some of the best examples of the style in Europe. During the winter months, particularly in December, the castle grounds are beautifully illuminated, adding a festive touch to your visit. Take a stroll through the castle gardens or enjoy the panoramic view of the Vltava River as you delve into the rich history and culture that makes Prague Castle a focal point of the city.
