Castle · Prague, Czechia
Prague Castle
Not a castle so much as a walled hill town that has been the seat of Bohemian kings, Holy Roman emperors and Czech presidents in turn. St Vitus Cathedral is inside it.
Accessibility
Not documented. EuropeDoor holds no step-free access, hearing loop or accessible toilet information for any place, and inventing it would be worse than the gap — the position in full.
Getting there
Trains and buses are cheap, frequent and comfortable; RegioJet and České dráhy both serve the main routes. All of Czechia →

Those are the three fields that go stale fastest and the three you are most damaged by being wrong about, so this site does not carry them at all rather than carrying an unverified version. Check the operator or the municipality on the day. The estimate of how long to give it, and the season, are editorial judgements and are usually stable.
Other places in Prague
Charles Bridge
Fourteenth-century, thirty baroque statues, and so crowded by ten in the morning that the only honest advice is to walk it at dawn or after midnight.
Josefov, the Jewish Quarter
Six synagogues and a cemetery where twelve thousand headstones lean against each other because the ground was reused for three hundred years and there was nowhere else to bury.
Vyšehrad and the river bend
The other castle rock, south along the Vltava, with a neo-gothic basilica and the national cemetery. Locals come here to avoid the crowds at the first one.
