Prague Castle Tour - Walking Tour of Prague Castle

By Kerry Kubilius, About.com Guide

Start your tour of Prague Castle at the Gate of Giants, or Giants' Gate. This gate opens into the enormous Castle Square. Its main feature is a pair of giants, one raising a knife, the other a club, against defeated enemies. The original 18th century sculptures have been replaced by more weather-resilient copies. The fence on either side of the gate showcases symbolic figures important to Czech heritage.

Pass through the Gate of Giants into the First Courtyard of Prague Castle.
