People use this square to rest after the long climb. I was sure that there is an Starbucks at the top, but all the available tables were under the sun, an unbearable experience at midday. The view is worth it, thought, just keep up.

Wow, it’s stunning. Place is awesome. Streets with the traditional lights are absolutely amazing. Always go there during the sunset. At the corner you can see the whole prague and it’s a nice panorama view. I loved it and will definitely go there again. From here you can walk down to malostranka namesti and the down way streets are also amazing. Best is to go to the top via tram and come down by walk.

Large cobbled square outside the entrance to Prague Castle with beautiful buildings. If your passing I would definitely take a moment to have a look around.

A big square close to Prague Castle! Well worth the visit and there are few stores and a really good ice cream place within the square.

Nice view over the whole city. Easy to reach by walk or tram 22. There are also a couple of nice cafes and restaurants on the streets there. The Christmas market there was also nice

Hradčany Square (Czech: Hradčanské náměstí) is a square of several historical palaces. On the south is sitting for example Schwarzenegger Palace which is maintained by the National GALLERY and that is no surprise there is an ART EXHIBITION. The same on the North side of the Hradčany square is sitting Šternberk Palace maintained by the National Gallery of Prague and there is also nice Art Exhibition. On the North is sitting one of the Patios of the Prague Castle which is one of the entry get to the Prague Castle and also entry to visit the famous St. Vitus Cathedral. There is even more Palaces to visit with exhibitions and this Hradčany square can be use such a junction to take various walk around the historical places nearby to visit other historical places (i.e. Cathedrals, Churches, and Events etc.). This Hradčany Square represent a very strong historical and cultural place and that it is up to each visitor which way and how wish to spend his time whilst is on holidays. Any option you take whether to visits cathedrals or churches or take walk around or to visits the Prague castle or art exhibition it cannot be wrong decision, and will be not disappointment by any means. All historical places and cultural events are well managed and open to locals and tourists in bear mind the pandemic rules to follow but still manageable to have a good time. My personal tip is to take walk at earlier morning about 7.00am (or easiest hours) over winter time to explore the atmosphere under the old oil lamps which are mapping the walk from tram stop “Pohořelec” to the Hradčany square, and the oil lamps are quit unique and create even more historical atmosphere of visiting this beautiful place.
