::What a magical place! You can enter the cathedral without paying but if you want to truly make the most out of the spectacular stain glass windows and glorious epitaphs then it's 250 crowns. Would highly recommend going up to the top of the tower, however this is another 150 crowns and it's a very long, steep spiral staircase, the view from the top is quite simple breathtaking!

::An amazing piece of art from top to bottom. Every single detail is unique an beautiful. If you get the audio guide you will have a very enjoyable time learning of the beginnings of the contraction. Demolitions needed, number of toms within the church, name of the patrons of the czk people, etc. A must see if you go to Prague. This is by far the main attraction of beautiful Prague.

::Incredible Cathedral! Awe-inspiring stain-glass windows inundated with color, storytelling, and vibrance. I’ve visited cathedrals throughout Europe and this one is hands down the most well kept and pristine. High arches, beautiful façades, and serene ambiance. Obviously crowded, but hardly takes from the beauty. I do wish you didn’t need to pay extra to go further in, but if it’s what it takes to keep the place pristine, totally worth it. Awesome visit. Around the exterior had magnificent red-roofed views, and well maintained gardens. Loved it.

::Go early! It's best to arrive early so you can get through the security check point. Then walk through to the cathedral before it opens at 9am. As soon as you come through the archway grab a photo. The church is mammoth and hard to fit in the camera frame so you need to do it before there are too many people around. As soon as you come through the tunnel go to the right and into the less crowded ticket office to get your entrance ticket. Then back out to the left to get in line on the left side of the cathedral. If there is a line it is worth the wait. I'd do at least an audio tour/book tour. Beautiful interior and it's good to know what you are looking at and why it is catching your attention.

::One of the most beautiful cathedrals in all of Europe. A must-see upon any visit to the country. Be prepared to have your bags searched as you are entering the grounds but it’s a quick and painless process. There is no cost to enter the building, you’ll get the chance to see the beautiful stain glass windows and walk inside the front half of the building. If you want to walk all the way to the front of the cathedral and see some of the ornate work up close you will have to pay for the tour. Take time to take pictures outside the building and obviously inside but the crowds will make it hard to get a good shot once you’re inside. If you enter through the side door of cathedral over by the mosaic on the side of the building you can pay a small fee to hike the tower. I think it was between $5-7 a person. It is a lot of steps up so make sure you’re up for the hike, but the top provides an amazing 360 degree view of the river and the city as well as an inside view of some of the bells and structure through some small glass windows in the tower. It’s a good stop near the beginning of the trip as a way to see attractions you’re interested in seeing from the view at the top and also to give you a feel of what the city looks like as a whole. As you can imagine it gets crazy busy even on weekdays and usually in the morning. Plan to be there right when it opens if you’re not into crowds and afterwards take time to walk all the way down to the bridge so you get a chance to see a lot of the main touristy streets.
