A cobblestone incline leads you toward the gate: flags snap above battlements, and the city below becomes a patchwork of red roofs and river light. The bus deposits you at the base of Prague Castle, and a guide — part historian, part tour conductor — steers your group past the ticket lines into vaulted chapels, chapels where carved stone seems to be listening.
