20071008 Prague Castle

Acc' to Guinness World Records, Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle in the world - 570m long, an average of 128m wide. This is the most popular landmark in Prague. Almost a small town by itself, it comprises of several buildings. St Vitus Cathedral is marvelous and rivaling Paris' Notre Dame, interior is beautifully adorned. Crowds pouring in unceasingly. Comparatively rest of the buildings are less impressive, St George is small, Old Royal Palace is too simple, the short Golden Lane is definitely not interesting to me but used as souvenir street.
