    I visited St. Vitus Cathedral on a public holiday, and entry was free, which was a nice surprise. The cathedral is incredibly impressive from the inside. The stained glass windows are especially breathtaking — the colors and details create a really powerful atmosphere when sunlight comes through. Even though it was a busy day, the interior still felt grand and worth experiencing. The scale, architecture, and overall feeling make it one of the most memorable places in Prague. Definitely a must-see, and visiting on a public holiday added a unique experience with free entry.
