    I didn't know what to name this "tip," but wanted to include a snap shot...
    i like st. vitus because
    1) the gargoyles are SO cool. there's one that looks like a roach from under - i think we decided it's a scorpion - STILL CREEPY!
    2) the stained glass windows are beautiful - done by amazing artists like mucha (can't remember the others' names right now.
    3)beautiful architecture - the cathedral took a LONG time to build and you can tell by just looking at the front - i'll explain once i can produce a picture (hint: look right under the rose window from the outside at the statues - notice anything?)

    i dont go to the castle much anymore now that i live here, but i do enjoy when people visit so i have to take them up there...it's got beautiful views and lots of history.

    St Vitus was begun to build in 1344. Official date of final works is 1929. In spite of building works lasted more than 600 years, the gothic style is in every detail of the cathedral. It is pity but when I visited the castle, the cathedral was closed and I couldn't enjoy interior.

    Prague's Castle District is the main tourist attraction in town so if you go in the middle of the day, it will generally be packed. The best times to go are very early in the morning and sunset to nighttime. Also, if you walk up the normal route from the Charles Bridge, you will be doing what 90 percent of everyone else does so expect crowds. I found a good way to visit it is to take the metro to Dejvice, enjoy that area and then walk back towards town and the Cathedral. It gives you a much different persective of the whole area, and much less crowded too.

    It is located in the Prague Castle. This is a glorious French Gothic structure begun in 1344 by order of Emperor Charles IV and only completed in 1929. The stained-glass windows, frescoes and tomb-stones (including that of the founder in the crypt) merit careful attention.
