Gate into the Prague Castle

The entrance into the Prague Castle.

The castle has soldier standing guards that stand outside the gate, you can go up and take pictures with them, but I felt to bad for those guys, so I just took pictures of a lock on the gate instead....ok like a 100 pictures of the lock.

The Prague Castle was built in 870 and is known as the biggest castle complex in the world. The castle is the holder of the famous the crown jewels are locked behind seven doors, that all have different keys that are all dispersed between the top seven members of the state: Czech Republic's President, Prime Minister, and the Prague Archbishop, to include a few.

ST. Vitus Cathedral

The castle itself was beautiful but you cant see it in isn't entirety until you are on the Charles bridge. It is absolutely beautiful. Picture of the whole building is above. The Cathedral was breathtaking and ENORMOUS and you literally lose your breath when you go inside. They still use the Cathedral for daily service and it is located right in the middle of the grounds of the castle. When we entered the castle grounds we got to explore around for awhile and all of a sudden as we were walking in to one of the building a mens choir group broke out in song. Since the castle is enclosed their voices carried and bounced off the walls, it was AMAZING.. like a dream. Overall the Castle tour was good and it totally reminded you of medieval times, everything is so well preserved.
