How to get to Prague Castle
Prague Castle is situated on a hill above the Vltava River in the Hradčany district.
The easiest way to get there is to take the 22 tram and disembark at the Pražský hrad stop. From there, it is a five-minute walk to the second courtyard.
It is also possible to disembark earlier, at the Malostranské náměstí stop and walk via Nerudova, Zámecká and Thunovská Streets to the New Castle Stairs (Nové zámecké schody), which lead to the Gate of Giants entrance. A third possibility is to walk to the Old Castle Stairs (Staré zámecké schody), which lead to the Na Opyši gate.
Prague Castle is also accessible on foot from Old Town. A favourite route from Old Town Square is to cross Charles Bridge to Malostranské náměstí and then climb up the hill to the main gate.
