Loreta
A pilgrim's copy of the house of Nazareth, a hymn on twenty-seven bells, and six thousand diamonds off a wedding dress.
Opening hours, admission and address
- Address
- Loretánské náměstí 100/7, Hradčany
- Opening hours
- Mon–Sun10:00–17:00
- Admission
- One ticket at the door or online covers the whole complex, treasury included, and it opens every day of the week including most public holidays. Ticket sales run to closing time but the building is cleared half an hour later, so arriving at the last minute buys a walk, not a visit. An audioguide in seven languages costs a little extra. Photography is free; flash and tripods are not allowed. The carillon plays on the hour through the opening hours above, and not outside them — an evening visit to the square gets you the tower in silence.
