I really enjoyed wandering around this area. There are some amazing buildings and corners to visit. We visited late afternoon so there wasnt too many people walking around. Take your time to wander and explore. And it offers the best views of Prague.

Allow a full day here as there is so much to do. The castle, beautiful gardens and art galleries. Leave time to wander slowly back down to the city centre on foot if you can as it takes you through some amazing scenery and places such as Golden Lane.

We spent the best part of a day here, lots of grand buildings and the magnificent cathedral, but we loved the little houses on Golden Lane, such a contrast. A fun way of getting there from the Old Town Square is the little tourist train.

Many important monuments are very close together, packed. The most beautiful is the cathedral with splendid glass panels. It was finished in 1929 , 4 centuries after they started to build it.

Once up top, I didn't see magnificent castles like I thought I saw in the distance. Maybe I didn't look around well enough or maybe once I got there I was too close to see everything I saw far away. Either way, the views from those castle grounds were amazing. The city was beautiful. We got advice from the guard... More

Take a day to walk up to the castle and enjoy the surrounding areas. It is different from the Old Town and the views from on high are spendid.
