Prague's Castle District

Rising above Mala Strana, Prague's Castle District can be seen from various points in the city - consider climbing the Charles Bridge tower to snap some photographs of Castle Hill. But visitors to Praha should not only enjoy the Castle District from afar. Hradcany, as it is known in Czech, is full of attractions, including Strahov Monastery, the Museum of Military History, and of course, Prague Castle.
