So beautiful. A Gothic masterpiece lurking like a benevolent bat atop a city hill. By night it is impossibly beautiful with sympathetic yet striking lighting provided. Unmissable.Full review by Considered R

Forgive me for saying so, but I think Prague Castle is highly missable. It's a series of buildings, which are neither dramatic and fortified nor lavishly furnished like a stately home. The cathedral …Full review by BeverlyS

Not very attractive. Things are a bit old. And not very pretty. The lighting didn’t affect clearly much. Quite lots of stairs.Full review by DD817YiP

Q:
Can you tell me if the audioguide is only for one person and is it worth renting? Seems expensive for 2 of us. Would one do? Also, if you can't use flash, will the cell phone cameras take reasonable pictures inside? Is the inside of the castle still being repaired so that sections are blocked off? Thank you so much!
A:
We only went into the courtyard. Were told it wasn’t open but certain times of the year since it is a working seat of govt.

Q:
Hi, may I ask do I really need to purchase tickets for entrance to Prague Castle. At what instances do I need to buy a ticket? Because I’m getting mixed up with reviews saying no need to buy and some say need to buy. I’m kinda confused. And also, if I need to buy ticket, can I just pay on arrival with their local currency in cash? I may just wanna see the St Vitus Cathedral from outside. Thank you.
A:
We found plenty to see without going into the castle itself
