 Soldiers parade by St
Vitus Cathedral by dabidc
This was to be the venue for visiting over the next 2 hours and for taking photos of the area.
St Vitus' Cathedral is the largest in the Czech Republic and construction started in the 14th Century with completion in the 20th Century. The Cathedral is in the third courtyard of the castle grounds, with St the Old Royal Palace and St George's Convent sharing the Jrske Square at the east end of the Cathedral.
The entrances to the Cathedral are from the Third Courtyard , the main entrance is to the north and the other entrance is below the tower on the south side. Leave a Comment Address: Prgaue castle just east of Hradcanske SquareDirections: Prague Castle, visible from most of the Old City is above Mala Strana , just follow the winding streets up from St Charles Bridge.

 Changing the Guard -

However once a day, there is a much larger display. I have posted several pictures here, some show the basic guard change-over, but most are pictures of the much larger and much longer display that occurs once a day – if memory serves me well, this is at midday.
If you want to watch the midday show, make sure you start to take up position at least ten minutes early if you want a good view. You will probably get a better view if you get yourself into the castle square rather than outside the gates. For the normal hourly display, being outside the gates is best.

 Heckling the Guards by easyoar
I’m assuming that the Czech Guards have to stand to attention (no pun intended!) and not smile at all for the whole hour they are on sentry duty – this is what the British Soldiers have to do in London. These girls are of course doing everything possible to distract him, and despite making him look rather uncomfortable, he is sticking to his duty admirably! Leave a Comment Directions: Prague Castle

The changing guards at the castle is a nice ritual to see but you have to wait in a fine place to see it, otherwise the crowed won't let you see anything. With the advice of my VT friend Martin, i stayed on the top of the stairs and i could take some pics. Well, then when i leaved the castle i had the chance to take some near pics.

 Hrad Castle Guards -
Prague by codrutz
Changing guard on a castle is always a very tasted moment. Tried to capture them in motion, but they were very serious about that and did not pose 'eyes-wide-shut' for my camera :) Interesting how everybody else but them freezes and stares at the poor guys :)
