Inside the cathedral's chapel, you'll find the royal mausoleum in front of the high altar, with the space below used as a crypt where the royal tombs are kept.
The Great South Tower was founded toward the end of the 14th century and houses the largest bell in the Czech Republic. If you're feeling energetic, you can climb up the 287 steps that it takes to reach the top of the 90m-tall tower and admire the views of the city below.

The National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror
The National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror is housed inside the Church of Sts Cyril & Methodius and is dedicated to seven Czech paratroopers involved in the Reichsprotektor Reinhard Heydrich assassination in 1942.
The paratroopers hid in the church's crypt for three weeks until their location was given away by a Czech traitor. Three paratroopers were then killed in an ensuing fight by Germans and the remaining four killed themselves rather than surrender.
The memorial focuses on this story and inside the crypt you can see the genuine bullet holes and shrapnel marks on the wall, as well as a last-minute attempt to dig an escape tunnel to get into the underground sewer and escape. The National Memorial to the Heroes of the Heydrich Terror is open Tuesday to Sunday 9am-5pm throughout March.
Old Town Bridge Tower
Prague's Old Town Bridge Tower guards one of the ends of the Charles Bridge and is regarded as one of the most beautiful Gothic towers in Europe. Completed in 1380, this tower heralds the entrance to Old Town and although it was partially damaged by Swedish invaders in 1648, it's still a stunning structure to see and provides ample photo opportunities.
Visitors can climb the 138 stairs inside the tower to reach the top of the Tower Gallery, from where you can soak up panoramic views which stretch across the city to the Vltava River, Prague Castle and Lesser Town.
