It turns out that the tram tracks are torn up on the most direct route recommended by the Hilton concierge. We disembarked and blundered around for awhile before taking an Uber up to a main entrance (about USD$4).
We took no tours but enjoyed gawking.
There are formal sentries at two entrances, backed up by police or military security.
We simply wandered and enjoyed the views.
TV vans were parked, complete with satellite dish and a bank of microphones. This is the official residence and workplace of the president of the Czech Republic.
There’s a lot of history contained in this site, a seat of power for kings of Bohemia, Holy Roman emperors, and presidents of Czechoslovakia and onward.
We saved exploration of the history for perhaps another time, and were pleased to find a different tram line down the hill that returned us to our hotel from the opposite direction.
Yes, of course we’ve seen the Prague Castle.
