★ ★ ★ ★ ★ In terms of the monastery itself there are several cathedrals that are free to enter in Prague that are just as nice and you are able to walk more inside and are not restricted to just looking in through a few meters past the opening entrance such as here.
You need to pay for a pretty expensive ticket I think like €13 each to see the gallery/library. The gallery has some cool chalices/staffs and older paintings, but the library although it looks very nice you are again restricted from only seeing at the entrance and not able to explore inside. If you have seen the Trinity College library in Dublin you would not find this impressive. I think if you pay more money you can get a tour where you can actually walk inside. And you have to pay more money for photos as well. There is a really cool observation tower and nice views nearby the monastery though so I do recommend walking by this area but unless you have unlimited money to spend I don’t think it’s worth the entrance fee at this monastery to be honest based on what you can see for free elsewhere in the city.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Spectacular library to be seen here. It is just two rooms which you can't even enter but still worth seeing, don't miss it when visiting Prague

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gorgeous library, but unless you have booked in advance, to go inside with a tour guide, you can not really go inside it! Also I found 2€ for photo permission ridiculous…

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful place. Very peaceful. The view of the city is exceptional! The library is a bit over rated i think, you can’t even go inside.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very unique library. You have the opportunity to see how the science developed without computers. You have to pay to take the pictures inside

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The walk is an uphill journey on cobblestone streets with amazing views, cute shops, restaurants and souvenirs and you get to come across some breathtaking architecture and views of the city on the walk up. The library is one of the top five most beautiful libraries in the world. They have bibles written by hand before the printing press reached Europe. Very Cool to see in person.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small but very nice collection of things in the museum. The two library halls are really stunning. You can't enter them but make pictures from the entrance. It's not crowded.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Gallery ticket is worthwhile, because you can visit the summer refectory with its ceiling fresco. The gallery itself is just boring art.
Without booking a tour, the library ticket allows you to look into the library but not go inside. This gives you 70% of the experience, but if you really want to take photos, book a tour of the library. I will do that next time
The extra fee for photo permission was not enforced.
