Walk around the grounds - no need to pay any access fees
Looks amazing from all over Prague. Seeing the entire thing would require a full day visit but we had a ticket allowing access to four separate elements. The size is impressive but the huge crowds change the ambience somewhat. Inside the palace is a very short tour - its disappointingly short and the rooms are unfurnished. Note: take the tram to the top unless you are very fit and can manage a long steep walk to the entry point.
