We recommend arriving 40 minutes before the concert starts because of the security check-in spots within the Prague Castle area! We recommend using the entrance near the tram stop Prague Castle (street intersection "Marianske hradby" and "U Prasneho mostu"). Here is the shortest security check queue. Additionally, you can come here by taxi or use car parking.
