If you've been to London, you've probably ventured over to Buckingham Palace to see the changing of the guard. It's quite the spectacle although difficult to see if you're not right against the fence. Prague has a more low-key changing of the guard at Prague Castle. Right at Noon, a new regiment marches down the hill from the barracks to relieve the current group at the castle. There is a band playing and a little bit of pomp and circumstance, but the whole thing only lasts about 10 minutes. While the Brits might have more pageantry, I think this one is more enjoyable to watch as there are much better
vantage points and the regiment marches right through the crowd.
