Prague Castle: Entry + Mobile Guide & 15-Minute Orientation

What began as a humble church dedicated to the Virgin Mary evolved into the largest castle complex in the world, featuring grand palaces, holy churches, government offices, and fortified structures, among numerous courtyards and meticulously-maintained gardens. Over the course of 1,000 years, the castle served as the ultimate seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia. Behind its fairy-tale facade lies darker moments in Prague's history, including the Bohemian Revolt, multiple destructive fires, and Nazi occupation in the 20th-century. Showcasing the best examples of both gothic and baroque architecture, your Prague Castle ticket with a mobile online guide gets you exclusive access to Circuit B: St. Vitus Cathedral, Old Royal Palace, St. George's Basilica, and Golden Lane with Daliborka Tower, a notorious former prison in the 15th-century.
