The history of Prague and the Czech Republic is intricately linked with the development of Prague Castle, or “Hrad.” Today, the castle complex encompasses numerous Prague attractions: St. Vitus Cathedral, the Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, the Powder Tower, and other monuments, courtyards, and historic buildings. No trip to the Czech Republic is complete without exploring Prague Castle.
The castle is open daily, 9 am to 5 pm. Admission to the castle complex is free, but visitors will probably want to purchase a Prague Castle tours ticket to enter the impressive buildings on the grounds.

Not only the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague is also its largest city. An architectural wonderland, Prague boasts delightful church spires, breathtaking cathedrals, shimmering golden towers, and some of the most beautiful bridges you will ever lay eyes on. So immaculate is Prague that it easily deserves mention among other attractive European cities, such as Paris and Rome.
