Prague Castle marked a historic year in 2025, welcoming more than 2.7 million visitors to its main route and over 9 million people to the entire complex, including its gardens.

As in previous years, the majority of visitors were international tourists.

Visitor numbers peaked in July, August, and October. The Advent Program, which included access to the Chapel of the Holy Cross and the Mocker Houses, also attracted strong interest.

Other highlights included the Open Days and the exhibition of the Czech Crown Jewels.

All of these events will return in 2026, along with several new programs.

One upcoming event is the exhibition “Gift for the President from Nearby and Faraway Lands II”, scheduled for late January at the Rosenberg Palace.

This will be followed by the Pre-Spring exhibition in late February and early March, which will showcase flowers alongside art by young artists.

“We reinvest income from tourism into the care of historical monuments and public spaces for both residents and visitors,” said Pavel Vyhnánek, director of the Prague Castle Administration.

He highlighted projects such as the renovation of Chotkovy Sady, the reconstruction of Queen Anne’s Summer Palace, and Hartigovská Garden, which is expected to reopen in spring.

The castle also removed the yellow army-style barriers at its entrance, replacing them with modern retractable safety bollards. In the coming years, the complex’s outdoor lighting is set for an upgrade.
