A little Prague promo...
The Prague Castle is the key statement in Prague. A little bit like the Eiffel Tower in Paris, or Buckingham Palace in London.
The castle can be seen beautifully from Charles Bridge as well as other areas around the centre. It is worth visiting Letna park to enjoy views from a different angle and see the castle from a more 'local' perspective instead of the tourist stereotype.
On the castle grounds instead, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the golden city, best at sunset/evening, but it is obviously up to individual taste. The castle, apart from being adorned by St Vitus Cathedral, is surrounded by beautiful gardens often blessed with art expositions. Additionally you can explore the Golden Lane, which is filled with cute houses and a lot of charm. The castle is also guarded by slightly 'less serious' guards than you would find in London... and certainly with less amusing uniforms than a fluffy tall hat... :)
It is difficult to write about the charms, elegance and beauty of the castle with just words. I think pictures say it all... so here they go.

And that was my little introduction to the Prague Castle and all its magnificence :)
