Overview
The New Royal Palace serves as the official seat of the Czech President and is deeply embedded within the sprawling Prague Castle grounds. This building represents a long timeline of power in the Czech Republic, originating from its roots as the home of Habsburg monarchs and evolving into the modern workspace for state administration. Visitors are invited to walk through rooms that host presidential inaugurations, diplomatic receptions, and significant national ceremonies. The architectural highlight is the Spanish Hall, a space celebrated for its scale and historical role in state functions. By purchasing a Circuit B ticket, you gain access to the palace along with other vital landmarks like the cathedral and the Old Royal Palace. The location is equipped with modern accessibility features like elevators and ramps, making it manageable for most visitors to navigate.
