I'm starting to get down to the finer details for my week in Prague this fall. I notice the crown jewels will be on display at the Prague Castle again this year and presumably due to this, the usual "Main Circuit" tickets are not available on the website to purchase for late September. I don't believe I'm simply too early since October tickets are available.
Is there anyone here that went last year during this time that knows the process? If I'm not mistaken, entrance to the crown jewels themselves will be free, but can a "Main Circuit" ticket still be purchased in person on the day? Or perhaps a few days in advance? If needed, I could go in person when I arrive to buy a ticket for later in the week, for example.
Under normal circumstances, Rick recommends getting there early and leaving the hotel "no later than 8:00". Unless I hear otherwise, I will plan to do this, but any information or tips on these special circumstances would be appreciated.
