Which one to choose in Prague
Strahov Monastery vs Mirror Chapel, Clementinum

Prague, Czech Republic
The monastery church is free during services and otherwise closed; what visitors pay for is the library, and the arrangement disappoints many. The standard ticket lets you look into the two great halls from their doorways behind a barrier, not walk through them. A much dearer private tour, booked in advance and run outside opening hours in small groups, is the only way inside the halls themselves. A separate ticket covers the picture gallery upstairs, which holds Bohemian Gothic panels and a good Rubens.

Prague, Czech Republic
The Mirror Chapel is part of the Clementinum, a vast baroque complex in Prague's Old Town, near the Charles Bridge, and it is visited on a guided tour of the Clementinum, which also includes the Baroque Library Hall and the Astronomical Tower; tickets are sold at the entrance and online, and tours run at set times. The chapel is also a popular venue for classical concerts, held most evenings, and a concert ticket is an excellent way to see the chapel in full.
