You climb from the cobbled lanes of the Lesser Town, past the baroque curve of St. Nicholas Church, and the hill narrows into Hradčany: the castle terraces rise like a city of stone above the Vltava. The twin spires of St. Vitus pierce the sky, their Gothic lines cutting a long story into Prague’s skyline.
