Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Church is very beautiful and peaceful! It’s quite bigger than what I expected. It’s a bit dark in there but very quiet which I liked.
The altar was very big and really took my breath away.
It’s diffidently one of prettiest churches I have seen.

The Church of St. Vitus is located close to the main square.
It is quite small but still worth visiting.
This church has interesting architecture from the early 1300s.

The church is majestic reflecting the prosperous times of this once superpowerful town. Decorations are great and the grace of the place is touching.

This is a small church that is seemingly large from the outside. Architecture of Gothic design with Neo Gothic tower.

Part of our tour, we stop and visited this church. Unfortunately it was Sunday and there was a mass, so we could not go too close to the front or alter, we had to be very quiet. No photos please was indicated on signs. From what we saw, you felt the gothic presence. Another impressive Czech church!.

There is a St. Vitus cathedral in Prague but this church is just as good if not better. It has an amazing interior which is worth checking out. It was weird all tourists kept walking by and did not peek inside which has all the cool interior.

At the end of our day, just before getting into our car to take us back to Prague, we popped into St. Vitus' Church. It is quite beautiful. I wish they allowed photography - for my memory of the interior has already faded.

We have seen a lot of old churches in Europe and while this one isn't spectacular, it's worth a few minutes. The pipe organ is interesting and it was amazing how clearly you can hear the river from inside the church

This church is located just off the main square. It is quite small but still worth visiting. It originally opened in the early 1300s. It has been modified several times through the centuries. It has some lovely statues and frescoes. You can even light a candle here if you are so inclined.

The Church of St. Vitus is open daily and admission is free. Cannot remember the hours, but we went during the day. Takes about 15- 20 minutes to view.

hi,
any fee to get in this church?
THANK YOU
Written 7 October 2016
We were not subjected to a fee, but I believe I left a donation as I was leaving the church. It was a donation, not a mandatory fee.
