Prague Photos: the Castle

Of all the Prague photos you see, the castle might be the defining image of the city. That and the famous Prague astronomical clock. They both seem to embody the aura and history of all the Prague sights in one.

Here are a few of our selected photos of Prague Castle. Enjoy!

A walk through Petrin, no matter the weather will win your heart. And, your photos of Prague will be breathtaking.

You can take the main trail through the park or hike up a bit further through the trees for the more expansive view seen here.

When you take photos of Prague Castle, remember, the castle is much more of a complex of buildings - not the typical home to royalty in classic fairy tales. But it makes for a fun challenge to photograph.

Then once you visit, there are thousands of details inside and out. Give it a whole day and take it all in.

One of the best views of the castle is from the bridge tower on the Old Town side of Charles Bridge. If you climb the tower there's an outdoor experience at the top that is spine tingling, believe us.

It's not a place for a tripod, but it's still a great photo opportunity.

Of course, Prague Castle is a fascinating sight at night. A picture is worth how many words? Only a thousand??

More Prague Photos of the Castle

Funny enough, the best Prague photos of the castle are often the ones from other alternative areas. If you are out to get something original, we suggest exploring the other side of Prague travel. Not the typical sights.

For example, visit the Stag Moat, Petrin and little parts of Mala Strana for unique views and perspectives.
