St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral on the hill, whose spire rises high above Prague, is St. Vitus Cathedral (Chrám sv. Víta) on the grounds of Prague Castle.
Important tip: You should climb the cathedral's 99-meter-high main tower,
because you'd be hard-pressed to find a better view of Prague.
Construction of a church on this site began in the 10th century. When Prague became an archbishopric in the 14th century, following a decree from Charles IV, a large, prestigious cathedral was needed. Thus, construction of St. Vitus Cathedral began in 1344. The Gothic building was initially overseen by the French cathedral architect Matthias of Arras, later followed by the famous Peter Parler, his son Wenceslas, and many other master builders.
The choir and foundations of the main tower were not finished until 1420. Construction was not finally completed until 1929, when the largest church in the Czech Republic was completed.
In addition to the tower with its magnificent view, there are several other features that make St. Vitus Cathedral so unique: The largest of the cathedral's seven bells is the Sigismund Bell. It weighs 17 tons and is the largest bell in the Czech Republic. The interior of St. Vitus Cathedral is lavishly decorated.

Bell Tower and Golden Gate, St. Vitus Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

After about 286 steps, the gallery of the bell tower offers a wonderful view of the castle area and the city on the Vltava.
The Venetian-Byzantine influenced mosaic image of the Last Judgement was created in 1370/71 and was unique in Central Europe

Archbishop's Palace (Arcibiskupský Palác), Prague Castle

Highlight • Historical Site

"The Archbishop's Palace in the immediate vicinity of Prague Castle has been the seat of Prague's bishops and archbishops since the 1560s. The palace was built on the site of 8 townhouses and was rebuilt several times in later times. It acquired its current form in the second half of the 18th century, when it underwent a significant late Baroque reconstruction, it received side wings, a 3rd floor and Rococo decoration of the facade. The heart of the palace is the Chapel of St. John the Baptist (Kaple sv. Jana Křtitele) from the 16th century with wall paintings and stucco. In the representation halls there is a unique collection of Parisian tapestries."

Highlight • Viewpoint

Tourist hub. It's always very crowded here, but you also have a beautiful view of Prague's old town and over the Vltava.

Charles Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Construction of the Charles Bridge (Karlův most) began in 1357, after its predecessor, the Judith Bridge, built around 1160, was destroyed in a flood in 1342. Its original name was simply "Stone Bridge" (Kamenný most) or "Prague Bridge" (Pražský most).
It has only been called Charles Bridge since 1870. It stands on 16 pillars and is 516 meters long. Above the first pillar on the Old Town side rises a gate tower, considered one of the most beautiful Gothic towers in existence. The other 15 pillars are decorated with sculptures on each side. But this wasn't the case from the beginning:
the sculptures were only added after 1700.
At the bridgehead on the Lesser Town side, there are two towers, the smaller of which is said to have originated from the Judith Bridge. The larger tower houses a tourist information office, and like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it can also be climbed.
Like the Old Town Bridge Tower, it is open daily.
Both towers are open daily from 10 a.m., until 7 p.m. in winter and until 10 p.m. in summer. Admission is 75 CZK each.
The Charles Bridge is a pedestrian-only bridge and one of the most popular tourist destinations. Among the almost constant stream of visitors, there are
occasionally souvenir vendors. Very often, these are painters who market their artistic creations here. And it is probably also one of the places where one can expect an increased incidence of
unwanted property transfers.

We took a trip to Prague with a three-hour city tour. There was a lot to see. Unfortunately, it was very hot that day, with 32 degrees Celsius. But it was very beautiful and interesting.

1. A guided tour lasting 2.5 hours. Why it only says 46 minutes here is a mystery to me.

I look out the window and it's raining puppies 🐕. 😓
It's a good thing that I've booked a trip to Prague for today and don't want to go hiking. 🫣
The bus took me from Bad Schandau to Prague. Prague is always somehow full. The rain had cleared and the 🌞 was blinking through the clouds. The city tour …

May 23, 2024,🇨🇿 Prag: Stadtrundgang durch die Altstadt

A trip to Prague was on our agenda for today. After visiting the castle complex, we crossed the Charles Bridge into the old town. After visiting the Clock Tower Square, we tried the Bohemian cuisine. We enjoyed it, but unfortunately the Prague sights were very crowded with tourists (we were probably not the only ones). However, we were there before …

Today, as a former colleague, I went on a company outing to Prague. The highlight was a city tour from Prague Castle in the Hradčany district, through the Lesser Town and the Charles Bridge to the market square in Prague's Old Town. The tour was very informative and well planned.
