Prague Castle - Across the river, on Castle Hill, the gorgeous and well-kept Prague castle looks like something straight out of a fairytale. From the two Titans framing the entrance, to St. George's Basilica and the Cathedral within its walls, the Castle has many sights for the curious traveler. One can visit the rooms the Czech princesses once lived in, as well as the window that sparked the 20 Years War. Below the castle walls are a series of stepped gardens full of trees and quiet benches for looking out over the city.
