🇨🇿 Prague Castle Left Me Slightly Disappointed...
🎫 A 450 CZK combo ticket grants access to 9 attractions, but note: ❗ St. Vitus Cathedral tower & Lobkowicz Palace Museum require separate tickets (145 CZK each). ✅Prague Castle—a sprawling historic complex spanning Bohemian kings, Habsburg rulers, and more—looms over the Old Town. I imagined grand halls brimming with artifacts, but... high expectations often lead to letdowns. 👍 Worth Visiting: ⛪️ St. Vitus Cathedral ✅Gothic masterpiece with jaw-dropping stained glass, including a Mucha-designed window (Czech national treasure). 🎗️ Golden Lane ✅Once home to castle servants/alchemists, now a quaint (if touristy) medieval alley—perfect for fantasy vibes. 🏯 Lobkowicz Palace 💫Music lovers’ paradise! The Lobkowicz family patronized Beethoven—his "Eroica" Symphony manuscript lives here, along with receipts and annotated scores. Daily 1 PM concerts. 👎 Why the Disappointment? 🙂 Rosenberg Palace 🌵A vast pastel-green building (former noblewomen’s school) with just 4 rooms open—two are empty modern spaces, another has random exhibits. 5-minute "tour." 🙂 Old Royal Palace 🌵Sounds regal? Two rooms only: one completely bare (just Gothic vaults), the other with a lone crown. Another 5-minute wonder. 🙂 St. George’s Basilica 🌵Red Baroque exterior, Romanesque inside. The frescoes are intriguing... but why is the second floor closed?! #PragueCastle #CzechRepublic #TravelFails #HistoricSites
