Hradcany Square - Hradčany

There was 200m long snake of people (still we weren't waiting long) just to be searched by police which they did very poor job. Don't understand the logic behind this, because all around you can walk free except this place

Magnificent square! We spent a good bit of time here just taking in the beauty. We also visited the museum here-HIGHLY RECOMMEND. And by the time we finished in the museum there was NO line to get into the castle!

A beautiful location that is just STEPS away from the entrance to The Praha Castle Grounds. Enjoy but check out everything around the square, there is so much more to see besides Prague Castle

Lovely and popular place close to the Prague castle ? especially for a weekend stroll, nowadays it's less crowded but usually swarming with tourists. Beautiful views of the city and a favorite vista point for many. Be prepared for lots of walking up and/or down the castle stairs. Definitely worth it. Also, there are many museums and interior attractions that are paid but gorgeous to look at. Prague is wonderfully varied and offers excellent possibilities for anybody who likes looking at historic places.

Such a majestic and beautiful place. It's up to the hill that deserved to walked to. With church, ministery, castle, museum around. Gothic architecture will impress you. Really miss the place and wish can visit again soon. Recommended!!

Amazing open space square in the top of the hill Great views of the palace and cathedral

Nice peaceful area. You can also see the guard shift charge ceremony at the palace too.

Hradčany Square (Czech: Hradčanské náměstí) is a square of several historical palaces. On the south is sitting for example Schwarzenegger Palace which is maintained by the National GALLERY and that is no surprise there is an ART EXHIBITION. The same on the North side of the Hradčany square is sitting Šternberk Palace maintained by the National Gallery of Prague and there is also nice Art Exhibition. On the North is sitting one of the Patios of the Prague Castle which is one of the entry get to the Prague Castle and also entry to visit the famous St. Vitus Cathedral. There is even more Palaces to visit with exhibitions and this Hradčany square can be use such a junction to take various walk around the historical places nearby to visit other historical places (i.e. Cathedrals, Churches, and Events etc.). This Hradčany Square represent a very strong historical and cultural place and that it is up to each visitor which way and how wish to spend his time whilst is on holidays. Any option you take whether to visits cathedrals or churches or take walk around or to visits the Prague castle or art exhibition it cannot be wrong decision, and will be not disappointment by any means. All historical places and cultural events are well managed and open to locals and tourists in bear mind the pandemic rules to follow but still manageable to have a good time. My personal tip is to take walk at earlier morning about 7.00am (or easiest hours) over winter time to explore the atmosphere under the old oil lamps which are mapping the walk from tram stop “Pohořelec” to the Hradčany square, and the oil lamps are quit unique and create even more historical atmosphere of visiting this beautiful place.
