The experience

Gain access to the largest castle complex in the world

Reserve your ticket in advance to skip the long ticket queues and enter the Prague Castle, an ancient symbol of the Czech lands and one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic.

Once the heart of the Holy Roman Empire, Prague Castle is now home to the Czech president and crown jewels.

Meet the representative to get a brief introduction in English before your visit and a map to help guide you through the castle complex. Then, explore the castle interiors, the Old Royal Palace, St. George's Basilica, the delightfully quaint Golden Lane, and the stunning stained glass windows of St. Vitus Cathedral at your own pace.

During September and October, particularly around the Independent Czechoslovak State Day (Czech Independence Day), some buildings within the Prague Castle can be closed for operational and ceremonial reasons, such as the annual Crown Jewel Exhibition and award ceremony.
