Strahov Monastery, Prague

We really liked this place. We ate at the restaurant outside the main area by the tennis court and the food was wonderful. We tried the beer and it was very good too. The grounds a very large and there's a lot to see. The picture gallery owns over 1,500 items and there's a nice selection on display. You also get to see several of the rooms that are decorated with lovely frescos. Of course there is a special display for Saint Norbert.

Breath taking library. Beautiful view of Pargue from restaurant terrace. Highly recommend stopping for some beer before venturing downhill towards the castle. Next time I would arrange tour so could actually go inside library as is done by reservation only and would be more worth it. Some people may not be happy with price for what you get and having to pay for photos but it is such a beauty it is worth it.

The two libraries are the main attraction here, although there are some interesting books and artifacts on display here as well. A private tour can be booked in advance, but doesn't seem to offer much more than what's available on Wikipedia. The tour does get you in the libraries, but you can see quite well from the doorway. My best advice is to arrive promptly at 9am, buy your ticket and photography permit before tour groups show up.

Very nice view over Prague. Not too crowded by tourists. Beer lovers may enjoy local brewed IPA while enjoying the views!

Awesome library. Never seen anything like it. Don't get to go inside but it is only 120 Krona $5.50ish. Nearby is an old brewery that I highly recommend.
