A must do if you have a half day to spare from Prague! Take the horse and carriage ride from the parking area- it is worth it!
Beautiful Castle. Knowledgeable Be sure to arrange for a taxi or horse drawn carriage from bottom of hill up to castle. It is well worth it.
Way too hectic. The guide did not wait for all in the group. It was a long and steep climb and I have a knee problem. Others too were irritated at this. The castle was beautiful, though. The bus was comfortable.
