Prague Castle: Entry Ticket

Additional Information & Description

Prague Castle brings 1,000 years of history into a vast complex of historic buildings and grounds. The world’s largest inhabited ancient castle is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the Czech Republic’s most important cultural institutions. Its scale makes this a visit to a whole castle complex, rather than a single building.

Gothic structures and Baroque designs

Architecture gives the castle grounds much of their appeal. Gothic structures and Baroque designs feature throughout the complex, which contains some of the world’s best examples of both styles. Look closely at the intricate architectural details as you explore: the buildings give you a concrete setting for the castle’s long history.

Four historic sites included

Your entry ticket covers the Prague Castle complex, with access to the Old Royal Palace, Basilica of St. George, Golden Lane and St. Vitus Cathedral. These named sites give the visit its substance, taking you beyond the grounds and into several distinct parts of the castle. A map is included to help you orient yourself within the extensive complex and locate the places covered by your ticket.

Gardens with city views

The gardens add an outdoor dimension to the visit. Walk through them for views of Prague’s skyline, shifting your attention from the castle’s architectural details to the city beyond. They form another part of the grounds to explore alongside the historic buildings.

A glimpse of Czech tradition

The changing of the guard ceremony brings Czech tradition into the castle visit. Alongside the buildings and gardens, this ceremonial element adds something different to watch during your exploration of the grounds.
