How to Purchase Tickets

To enter Prague Castle, you will need to purchase tickets. Tickets can be obtained from the information centers located in the second and third courtyards of the castle. The map provided with your tickets will assist you in navigating the castle grounds and identifying the structures included with your purchase.

Types of Tickets Available

There are various types of tickets to Prague Castle that grant access to different groups of buildings within the complex. The three main types, Circuit A, Circuit B, and Circuit C, are designed for self-guided tours and allow entry into multiple buildings, rather than only specific exhibitions.

Moreover, tickets remain valid for two consecutive days, which is beneficial for visitors wanting to maximize their sightseeing experiences in Prague. Remember, access to the Prague Castle grounds is free, so if you need a break, feel free to exit and return later.

This major attraction can initially seem overwhelming, and experiencing all exhibitions and interiors can be tiring. However, with a well-organized plan and plenty of energy, you’ll agree that Prague Castle is one of the city’s most remarkable sights.
