Saints Peter and Paul Basilica in Prague: photos, reviews

About

Situated in the vibrant city of Prague, Saints Peter and Paul Basilica stands as a testament to Gothic Revival architecture, with its impressive spires and intricate design masterminded by architect Josef Mocker. With stunning stained glass windows casting colorful light onto well-painted ceilings and walls, the basilica offers a serene and beautiful atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for reflection. Visitors can marvel at the decorated pulpit and fabulous paintings while enjoying the well-maintained grounds. Built originally between 1070 and 1080, the church had to be rebuilt after a fire in 1249, preserving its rich history and charm. A visit here not only offers free entrance but also provides an opportunity to explore the nearby National Cemetery of Czechia, unwind in the surrounding beautiful parks, and take a short stroll to a nearby restaurant. While a suggested visit might take 1-2 hours, its high average rating of 4.8 on Google promises an unforgettable experience.

Очень интересное и атмосферное место, которое обязательно стоит посетить. Я всегда привожу сюда своих гостей — базилика действительно впечатляет. Особое внимание привлекает необычное изображение черта внутри церкви, а также мощи и ценные реликвии. Однозначно достойна внимания туристов! Немного не приятно, что платный вход поставили на поток. Даже мне, как гиду с лицензией, пытаются продать билет, если я привела маленькое количество гостей. Бизнес чистой воды., оплатите за билет, так ещё можно оставить пожертвования, а ещё можно заплатить картой за ремонт крыши. Короче на каждом шагу тебе напоминает о деньгах.

A famous and beautiful neo-Gothic basilica on Vyšehrad Hill with intricate frescoes, carvings and mosaics in the interior. The incredible beauty and grandeur of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul are mesmerizing. There is an entrance fee, but it is definitely worth it.

Basílica bonita por fuera, aunque no muy grande, y muy colorida por dentro, pues tiene pinturas por paredes, columnas, arcos, bóvedas... No es necesario reservar las entradas con antelación, se pueden comprar a la entrada de la misma basílica. Lo que si hay que tener en cuenta que cierra muy temprano, a las 6:00 pm
