Prague castle is a disappointment after having visited Wawel castle in Krakow. It is more of a tourist trap than anything else. Of course the architecture and cathedral is beautiful but this can be said in reference to any European city really. The castle grounds lack the necessary elements that make it feel like an actual castle. No moat. No dragon. No turrets. No drawbridge. Once inside the walls it is mostly shopping.

On the photo, there is a "Jelení příkop" (Deer Moat) right behind your back, between the wall and cathedral. Well, some towers are to be found...
