Peaceful and religious +
Beautiful architecture, huge in size.
You can enter the church for free, but to walk all around the church you need to get a ticket.
It's located almost within the castle, so you better plan the visit together, in addition to the Lobcowicz Palace (which requires a different kind of ticket)
On more thing, the people that sells tickets for the entrance of the church and palace are very very rude, especially the guy that sells the tourist guide tickets.
One of the most beautiful cathedrals in all of Europe. A must-see upon any visit to the country. There is no cost to entering the building, you’ll get the chance to see beautiful stain glass windows and walk inside the front half of the building. If you want to walk all the way to the front of the cathedral and see some of the ornate work up close you will have to pay for the tour. If you enter through the side door of cathedral over by the mosaic on the side of the building you can pay a small fee to hike the tower. I think it was between $5-7 a person. It is a lot of steps up so make sure you’re up for the hike, but the top provides an amazing 360 degree view of the river and the city as well as an inside view of some of the bells and structure through some small glass windows in the tower. It’s a good stop near the beginning of the trip as a way to see attractions you’re interested in seeing from the view at the top and also to give you a feel of what the city looks like as a whole.
The view from these grounds over Prague was something to be seen. Watching the royal guards march was surreal and the cathedral was very rich in history and design. It’s like a maze inside but worth the wait time to get in.
Beautiful, but pales in comparison to others in Europe. We had seen so many cathedrals in France, Italy, Germany and Holland, that this was pretty, but nothing memorable. It was even less memorable because the people in Prague are not traditionally religious and not really connected to this building either, which made it feel much less significant (unlike, for example, the reaction of Italians and tourists to places like St. Peter's - which has HUGE personal significance). The stained glass was definitely the highlight - truly a beautiful piece of art. This was my favourite part. If you are spending a few days in Prague, of course you would go and see it. Just maybe don't set your expectations super high.
Beautiful cathedral inside out! Worth walking all the way from Charles Bridge to get to see the castle and the cathedral. Amazing architecture!
We visited August 2010
Beautiful Cathedral on the Prague Castle grounds! The stained glass was by far my favorite part of this church. Very recommended.
You should buy tickets before you go to the castle or you should enter as soon as it opens (10am). The eastern entrance is best way to get in as the western side had really long queue to the security check. The cathedral itself is really big and beautiful.
One of biggest and most beautiful cathedrals I've seen. You got to pay at least the 250 czk castle ticket to be able to visit everything. Otherwise you will only be able to look at it from the far back.
Nice church with good interiors and exteriors. After visiting Europe for the last few months now, all the churches start to blend together. So my honest review for this would be a 3- star as I have already seen nicer ones, (Sagradia in Barcelona, St Peter's basilica, Rome) but for those who have not experienced what I have, this is a definite must see if you're visiting Prague.
