The Minorite Friary in Prague is the oldest Franciscan site in Central Europe, blending Gothic and Baroque architecture with Romanesque cellars and historic refectory halls. Reopened in late 2024, it now serves as a cultural center with access to the Basilica of St. James, peaceful gardens, and a café. Ticket options (please read carefully before booking): • Friary Ticket only – access to the Friary interiors only. • Basilica Ticket only – entry to the Basilica of St. James only. • Full Experience Ticket – Monastery + Basilica + complimentary access to current exhibition in the Romanesque cellars. Each ticket grants access only to the listed areas. For the most complete and immersive visit, we recommend the Full Experience Ticket.

Monastery of minorit brothers in heart of Prague is a special unique place where history and culture meets. It is also an amazing place where you can enjoy unique architecture, admire wonderful frescos on cellings, learn history and enjoy expositions and concerts. I deeply recommend to visit
Calm place for a Old Town which is packed by a tourists. There are several exibitions in the monastery included in some tickets.
Stepping into this 800-year-closed monastery felt like walking through a living page of history. The atmosphere, architecture, and beautifully curated events made the experience unforgettable. A truly magical place in the heart of Prague where the past finally comes alive again.
The friary, a lovely, peaceful spot in the centre of Prague, currently offers an exhibition about interesting buildings in Prague, with an impressive 3D map of the centre on the floor, maquettes of the crown jewels from all around Europe and old manuscripts with a possibility to buy something small to eat and enjoy it in special surroundings. Worth your time if you want to spend more days in Prague, slow down a bit and just enjoy the place. Very often also nice concerts.
Fantastic atmosphere, we recomend it!
