Perfect ticket for exploring the entire Prague!

Glad we got this city pass while in Prague! We chose the three-day option, and it worked great. We visited Prague Castle and went on a boat cruise on Vltava. It even motivated us to see more than we had planned. It was definitely worth it!

Mario

It is absolutely worth buying Prague Castle skip-the-line tickets!

Such an amazing castle! I recommend buying skip-the-line tickets. We bought our tickets online, and it was worth it as we went in July, and the lines were really long. The castle grounds are large, so wearing comfortable shoes is a must. We visited twice, once during the day to see St. Vitus Cathedral and other main buildings and then the next day during the night for the city views. It was definitely worth it!

Lovely concert at Lobkowicz Palace

This concert was a great way to take a break while exploring Prague. The venue was beautiful, and the atmosphere was excellent. I don't usually go to classical music concerts, but this was such a good idea. One hour was perfect, just enough time to get lost in the music. I totally recommend it!

Everything you need to know – essential tips for visiting, what to wear, dos and don’ts, and the must-see sights at Prague Castle!

PRO TIP

If you want to see the exact spot where the Thirty Years’ War began, you have to look closely inside the Old Royal Palace. Once you walk through the massive Vladislav Hall, turn right to enter the Ludwig Wing. Go into the second room on your left, where you will find an ordinary, unmarked window. Look straight down into the grassy moat, and if you spot two stone monuments far below, you have found the correct window!
