Castles

If you were asking yourself how many castles, fortresses, villas, and chateaux this country has, the answer is: a lot, in the order of hundreds. And get this, it’s impossible to give a precise answer because there is no agreed method on the state level on how to count all of them.

Mine the gold under your own feet!
Did you know that Prague Castle is the largest castle complex in the world? If you are new in Prague, start with exploring the Prague Castle area (70 000 m2!). Dating back to the 9th century, Prague Castle has been the seat of the Kings of Bohemia, the Holy Roman Emperor and the presidents of Czechoslovakia. It is currently the residence of the Czech President. Be sure to visit St Vitus Cathedral, the biggest and most impressive church in the country.
