Hradcany


Hradčany (; German: Hradschin), the Castle District, is the Prague district surrounding the Prague Castle.

The castle is said to be the biggest castle in the world at about 570 meters length and an average of about 130 meters wide. Its history stretches back to the 8th century. The St Vitus Cathedral is located in the castle area.

Hradčany was an independent borough until 1784, when the four independent boroughs that had formerly constituted Prague were proclaimed a single city. The other three were Lesser Quarter, Old Town and New Town.

    Konopiste Chateau Morning Tour 4 hours

    Konopiste Chateau, Central Bohemia

    This 4-hour morning tour takes you to Konopiste, a charming hunting chateau located 28 miles southeast of Prague.

    The Konopiste chateau was built in the 13th century and later converted. The original castle was built in the Early Gothic on the model of a French castellum near Prague. Renaissance and Baroque reconstruction changed the castle into grand stately home. At the end of the 19th century it was refurbished in the Romantic style for Franz Ferdinand d'Este, successor to the Habsburg throne, and famous for his death in 1914 which started WWI.

    The chateau offers a fine display of furniture, drape tapestries, sculptures, paintings and a cornucopia of hunting trophies. You will have a chance to see the representative areas of the chateau interiors documenting his life here as well as valuable works of art.
