Prague Castle with kids

The castle is a walled complex of courtyards, churches and lanes, and the Main circuit ticket covers four buildings: the Old Royal Palace, St George's Basilica, Golden Lane and St Vitus Cathedral. The ticket is valid for two days and each building can be entered once, so you can split the visit around a nap or lunch.

Great

Worth it with children of 7 and up, and teenagers usually rate it the best thing in the city. With a baby or a toddler, keep it short: one or two buildings is plenty. Do not feel bad about skipping the rest.

With children under six this is a lot of standing in line and looking at stone. School-age kids do better, and Golden Lane is usually their favourite of the four. Getting there is simple if you take tram 22 to the Pražský hrad stop, which leaves a five-minute walk to the second courtyard. The other approaches involve long staircases.

Tips for the visit

The family ticket at CZK 950 beats two adults and one child bought separately.
Tickets are valid for two days, but each building only once. Purchased tickets are not refunded.
Leave by walking down the Old Castle Stairs to Malostranská metro if nobody is in a stroller. With a stroller, go back to tram 22.
In summer tram 22 to Královský letohrádek lets you walk in through the Royal Garden in 15 to 20 minutes.
