When organising your visit, in addition to finding out the Castle's opening hours, how to get there and where to eat in the surrounding area, you should also find out the best way to get tickets for Prague Castle and how much they cost. We'll talk about the latter in this post. Let's get started!

This is one factor that can increase the price of tickets, but there are others, such as whether the activity includes hotel pick-up and drop-off, whether there is a skip-the-line service to the attraction, the number of sites to be visited on the route, whether other activities are included during the tour, such as a cruise on the Vltava River or a walking tour of the city, or whether it also includes a Czech-style lunch.

Is it worth buying them at the ticket office?

My advice is to buy your tickets online and in advance of your trip rather than waiting until you arrive in Prague to purchase them.

There are several advantages: you won't have to look for the ticket office, pay in local currency and, above all, you won't have to queue for ages waiting for your turn at the ticket window.

If you decide to purchase them online, you will receive confirmation of your purchase on your smartphone and on the day of your visit, you will simply have to show it at the Prague Castle access points to enter. You can also print it out if you prefer, although this is not necessary. You will save a lot of time!

Yes, you can! From £47, you can buy the Prague CoolPass to visit Prague Castle and more than 60 attractions in the city.

If you are planning to spend several days in the capital of the Czech Republic and want to make the most of your stay by visiting a multitude of tourist attractions in Prague, it is a good idea to get this tourist card.

Not only will it give you access to Prague Castle and other places of interest, but you can also take a free river cruise or benefit from exclusive discounts that will help you save money during your trip. Sounds great, doesn't it?

Yes, there are reduced rates for admission to Prague Castle for certain age groups, such as children, students and senior citizens. Let's take a look!

• Reduced rate for children aged 6 to 16: from £4.50
• Reduced rate for students: from £4.50

The same ticket can be used to travel on the entire public transport network in Prague (metro, bus and tram). A single ticket can be purchased from €1.30 and is the most commonly used ticket for certain journeys. It is valid for 90 minutes from the time it is validated.

There is also a limited ticket starting at €1 that allows you to ride Prague buses and trams for 20 minutes, but you cannot transfer. In the case of the metro, this limited ticket is valid for 30 minutes and allows you to travel 5 stops. If you are going to be making short trips to get around, this is a good way to save a little money.

However, if you would like to visit Prague Castle without having to pay extra for transport, you can always book a guided tour of the monument with hotel pick-up and drop-off included, or purchase the Prague CoolPass to use the city's public transport as often as you like, as this is one of the benefits included. It won't cost you a thing!
