St. Nicholas Church (Malá Strana)

Prague's most famous Baroque church is also one of the most valuable Baroque buildings north of the Alps. The dome has an impressive diameter of 20 m, and the internal height up to the lantern reaches almost 57 m, making it the highest interior in Prague. It is also an outstanding example of high Baroque decoration. The church hosts concerts all year round on the historic 18th-century organ. There is an entrance fee, but it is worth it.

St. Nicholas Church is one of Prague’s most breathtaking Baroque landmarks. I didn't know I had to pay to enter when I got there, but I think it was well worth the entrance fee. The church’s interior is adorned with gilded stucco, marble altars, and a monumental organ (played by Mozart himself in 1787!!!) It radiates grandeur at every turn. I had the information that it can get crowded with tour groups, I visited on a weekday after lunch and there wasn't many people inside. St. Nicholas Church is a highlight of Prague’s cultural and spiritual heritage and it is certainly a must-see, regardless of religious beliefs.

Beautiful experience ! I visited on a Wednesday afternoon so pretty easy to get a ticket and go inside. Price for 1 adult ticket = 150 czk. I was also able to go up to the gallery level— it’s a total of 60 stair steps up a curved staircase. This place was light filled and tranquil. I sat for a few minutes of quiet contemplation before leaving. There’s concerts here too— I hope to see one of these. All in all— this was a wonderful experience.

When visiting Prague, budget some time to visit St. Nicholas Church. I believe I paid 150 CZK for my ticket, so not too much. Leave some time to really look around and take in the beauty of the space. It's also very close to Prague Castle, so you can make a day of it. St. Nicholas Church was one of the most beautiful things I saw in Prague during a visit filled with beautiful sights. Enjoy.

Very nice and ornate church. You will have to purchase tickets on site. No online options available. There were no lines so it wasn’t a big deal. What is nice is you can go to the upper level and see the view of the church from up. Overall a nice church.

I have visited many churches around the world, but for some reason this is one of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen, even compared to those in Italy. I could not even blink, afraid I might miss something. It is definitely worth the money and the visit. I hope you can take in all the beauty as much as you can.

Overall, the cathedral left a pleasant impression, but it should be noted that entrance to the tower (and access to the second floor) is paid separately.

Inconspicuous from the outside. The inside is simply jaw-dropping amazing. St. Nicholas Church isn't in any way overshadowed by its neighbour at the Castle complex. Go and see for yourself. I thought it was awesome.

In a city of a thousand spires, this is an amazing baroque cathedral in Malá Strana. Unfortunately, the beautiful interiors were covered by scaffoldings for renovations. Mozart played his Mass in C on the beautiful organ in 1787.

Don't forget to make a wish! Definitely a must see, the church's architecture is so beautiful and specific. Admission is 70kc or with student ID reduces to 50Kc. There's also a gallery on the second floor. The details are just amazing and breathtaking overall. They also hold concerts every Wednesday at 6pm.
