The Basilica of St. Ludmila is a 19th-century neo-Gothic Catholic church in Prague’s Vinohrady district, sited on Náměstí Míru. It serves as a prominent parish church and local landmark.

The building presents a conspicuous façade and twin towers facing the square; the interior contains a vaulted nave and ecclesiastical fittings typical of large urban parish churches. The square and nearby transport make it a common stop on walking routes through Vinohrady.

The present church was constructed in the late 19th century and dedicated to Saint Ludmila. Over time it has remained in continuous liturgical use as a parish and ceremonial church.

The basilica stands on Náměstí Míru in Prague 2, adjacent to the Metro A station of the same name, within the dense residential and commercial streets of the Vinohrady neighbourhood.

• Access: Located directly on the large public square and transport hub, making visits easy by Metro line A at the Náměstí Míru station.
• Viewpoint: The church is a local landmark in the Vinohrady neighbourhood with prominent twin towers facing the square, visible from surrounding streets.

The Basilica of St. Ludmila sits on Náměstí Míru in Prague’s Vinohrady district; take Prague Metro line A (green) to Náměstí Míru station and exit onto the square - the church is a 1-2 minute walk from the station. Several tram lines (for example trams that stop at Náměstí Míru) also serve the square, making the basilica easy to reach on foot from central Prague.

• Enter via the Náměstí Míru metro (Line A) exit - the church sits directly on the square and is only a short walk from the station.
• Avoid Sunday morning service times if you want to see the interior relatively empty; many visitors come during mass, so weekday mornings or late afternoons are usually quieter.
• Take time to examine the neo‑Gothic stained‑glass windows and the smaller side chapels inside - they are often overlooked by people taking only brief exterior photos.
