St Vitus Cathedral was one of the highlights of my Europe visit one summer.
Climbing the steps towards Prague Castle was a bit of work, but it was all worth it as we were rewarded with a glimpse of one of the most beautiful—if not the most—cathedrals I’d ever laid eyes on. Not to mention the gorgeous views of the city of Prague that we got as well.
St. Vitus Cathedral is simply amazing. The kind of amazing that leaves you dumbfounded. It’s a glorious example of Gothic architecture.
It’s located within the walls of Prague Castle and contains the tombs of many Bohemian kings and Roman Catholic Emperors. As its name suggests, the cathedral is dedicated to St. Vitus, the patron saint of dancers and entertainers.
