A must see not only for the architecture inside and out but a little known fact is that Catholics do not have to pay an admission fee to tour the inside of the cathedral. I

It was very pretty; some of the most beautiful and detailed stained glass I've seen. You can enter the main entrance for free, and have to pay a few crown to walk around, which I did, and I was glad of it.

A really beautiful cathedral with an interesting history. Worth taking a look whilst in the castle area. It is crowded so we didnt spend long inside.

This cathedral is one of the best I've seen. The crowds are there but its worth it. I would recommend being there when it opens to beat the rush. Don't miss this place if you're in Prague!

Very majestic and informative, really worth a visit. Weather prevented us spending too long in the surrounding gardens but its worth another visit just to go and do that again.

The cathedral was not the most beautiful I have seen in Europe but definatelynworth worth the small entry fee to go beyond the back of the church. Over run with tourists.....get there early to enjoy both the castle and cathedral

You could either pay to go into this cathedral and see the whole thing or not pay and go to just the front part. I highly recommend paying especially if you are going when there are a lot of people! There was a line to get in, but once you got past that and the front free part, the cathedral... More

Lots of history, but St. Nicholas Church architecture more impressive. Worth it for the stained glass alone
