It was still to be a Prague classic. We conquered the world's largest enclosed castle complex... Prague Castle. Clearly visible from the Old Town, the castle is impressively large up close. We climbed Hradčany Hill on tram 22 and immediately turned into the Royal Castle Gardens. A pretty garden with some very old and non-native trees. An oasis of peace …

A very beautiful day in Prague. 👍😎
Just this view of this wonderful old city on the Vltava, which has been preserved in exemplary condition, is simply WOW and 5🌟+.
The castle is already a city tour in itself - several museums, palace, cathedral with tower, historic alley with medieval impressions and shops - which amazed us. A magnificent view …

The time given is incorrect. The city tour lasted 3 hours. We walked about 7 km. Prague is a fantastic city and always worth a visit.
