Don't miss the Romanesque St. George's Basilica, one of the oldest churches within the complex, offering a serene contrast to the cathedral's opulence.

Beyond the historical buildings, the castle complex boasts beautiful gardens providing tranquil escapes and panoramic views across Prague’s red-tiled rooftops.
