Prague Castle | World's largest coherent castle complex

Prague Castle, founded in 880 by Prince Bořivoj, is a vital cultural institution and an ancient symbol of the Czech State. With over 1000 years of history, it is a UNESCO monument and holds the Guinness World Record as the world's largest coherent castle complex, spanning 70,000 m². Keep reading to find all the handy information to make the most of your visit to Prague Castle.

Things to know before booking a Prague Castle ticket

  • Prague Castle is the world’s largest coherent castle complex. Consider opting for a Prague Castle guided tour to fully soak in the history. It also includes a skip-the-line entry, which helps skip ticket queues.
  • The skip-the-line combo ticket is made for you if you want to explore Prague’s cultural scene providing direct access to Prague Castle, the Astronomical Clock, and the Prague National Museum with a single ticket.
  • Access to all the buildings inside Prague Castle, like St. Vitus Cathedral, St. George Basilica, the Old Royal Palace, and more, is included in the Prague Castle admission tickets except for Lobkowicz Palace.
  • St. Vitus Cathedral closes every Sunday morning for church services, and the Old Royal Palace shuts down for a few days around October 28 due to a state awards ceremony. Additionally, if you want to witness the Changing of the Guard at Prague Castle, be sure to book your tickets with time slots ranging from 11am to 12pm.
  • Allot at least 2 hours to explore the interiors of Prague Castle. Most visitors skip this due to time constraints, but the exploration is worth your time. Don't expect opulence though, as the interiors are quite austere.
  • If you're up for climbing 287 Prague Castle steps in a tight, windy stairwell, the phenomenal view from the viewing deck at St. Vitus Cathedral is worth it. Also, if you are coming from the Lesser town area, you will have to climb the famous Prague Castle stairs that offer picturesque views of the red-roof buildings along the way. The stairs have 220 steps and are about 160 meters in length.
  • Prague Castle isn't entirely wheelchair-friendly. If mobility is a concern, keep this in mind when planning your visit.
