Official website

Where to find it

Prague Castle's official website is hrad.cz, run by the Prague Castle Administration (Správa Pražského hradu) under the Office of the President of the Czech Republic. It is the source of truth for opening hours, closures, current and upcoming exhibitions, press enquiries and academic access.

What the official site offers

A searchable database of the castle's collections — paintings, sculpture, decorative arts, the rich St. Vitus treasury. Calendars of upcoming exhibitions and concerts in the castle's historic spaces. Information about the Office of the President of the Czech Republic. Press accreditation requests. Archive and research access. Listings for the regular Sunday Masses in St. Vitus Cathedral.

How this site differs

This site exists to make booking faster, with a clearer mobile experience, in your language, and with flexible cancellation up to 24 hours before your slot. Tickets here include the same Basic Tour admission as those bought at the castle ticket offices. For institutional questions, research access, or matters relating to the Office of the President, use the official site.

Phone enquiries to the Castle Information Service: +420 224 372 423 / +420 224 372 419, daily 09:00–17:00.
