🌉 Prague Castle

Prague, Czechia

Best time: April–June and September–October; Christmas markets in December

One of the largest castle complexes in the world, with St Vitus Cathedral's spires above the Vltava. Walk down through the Lesser Town to the statue-lined Charles Bridge.

Good to know

• The castle grounds are free; the cathedral and Golden Lane need a circuit ticket.
• Charles Bridge is almost empty before 6 am.
