One of the most prominent places in the city of Prague is no doubt Prague Castle. While visiting the old town square, you might not be able to see the castle, but pay a visit to the Vltava River and you will see the castle perched on top of a hill. It is not surprising that the castle was built on top of a hill as it makes it easier to defend. Besides, who doesn’t want a nice view of the a beautiful city. To get there, we took the tram to the foot of the hill where the castle is.

There is a short and easy to follow trail to the top of the hill. It was easy because there were a lot of people going up the same way. It wasn’t very steep and one can always take their time to walk up the hill. Besides, the view from the hill it actually great. At the top of the hill is the Prague Castle grounds. Perhaps one of the most prominent structures here is the Cathedral of Saint Vitus, which can be seen from across the river. It is one of the Prague’s most significant monuments and with good reason. It is considered to be one of the most beautiful gothic churches in the country.
