Prague Castle
The former seat of the King and is now the seat of the Czech president. This is Prague's number one tourist attraction so expect huge crowds and possibly long lines, especially during high tourist season. Your best bet is to come early, as soon as the castle opens. Similar to other royal palaces, there is an hourly changing of the guard ceremony. At noon, the ceremony includes fanfare at a flag ceremony in the first courtyard.
Why it is worth a visit
The largest ancient castle complex in the world, seat of Bohemian kings and Czech presidents, overlooking the Vltava.
