Karlštejn Castle Excursion
“A lot more than just a nice castle - a spectacular Disney-like castle
perched on a hill, surrounded by lush forests and vineyards”
If you are thinking about getting out of the city but don't wish to travel very far, this castle located about 30 km southwest of Prague is a great choice. It is the most famous castle in the Czech Republic. The castle is extremely popular with locals as well as tourists, and the streets are packed with souvenirs and ice-cream vendors, tour groups and even school groups, especially in the summer months.
As you approach Karlstejn village you can enjoy great views of Karlstejn and the surrounding countryside. After you arrive you can admire its stunning interior and maybe later on have lunch at one of the great local village pubs. It is also possible to stay overnight at pensions, visit Karlstejn Golf course, or follow a walking trail around the area.

Karlštejn Castle History
Discover the impressive Bohemian Gothic Karlstejn Castle, built in the 14th century by Charles IV, the Czech King and Roman Emperor. At that time the castle held the treasure of the Holy Roman Empire including the imperial coronation jewels. The foundation stone of Karlstejn was laid in 1348 and the main building works lasted to 1356, the year of Charles' coronation as emperor. Charles IV devoted care to the rich interior decoration of the castle until the time of his death on 1378. The castle was modified in the Renaissance style and re-built in the purism style between the 19th and 20th century. More information can be found at the official Karlstejn castle website.
We loved Karlstejn Excursion. Thank you very much! Very impressed with your driver Roman, he explained us lot things on the way, and his driving was excellent. Raymond
I couldn't have enjoyed this excursion more! Everything ran very smoothly, from booking the tour to meeting up with your driver at the hotel reception. When we arrived at Kutna Hora our driver briefly showed us all sights and drop us at the information center. Really good value for money too. Thanks!!! Karl W.
We had a wonderful time in Karlvy Vary. Your excursion was great! Our guide was very knowledgable about history and made us feel very comfortable. The booking process and follow up for the excursion couldn't have been easier. Thanks for making it so enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it to family and friends. Jenny S.
Reference our Dinner/Cruise and Superior Walking Tour: I would also like to say a big "thank you" for our dinner/cruise and walking tour. Both were extremely enjoyable and very informative. Both guides were excellent. Hannah on the superior walking tour was very charming. We learnt such a lot in a short time. Please pass our thanks on to both ladies. Congratulations on a very well organised venture. We shall certainly be returning to Prague in the near future as we still feel we have a lot to see and learn. We will be using your services in the future and recommending you to our friends. Thank you again for making our stay such an enjoyable one. Kind regards Jill and David King

Advance Booking
Do I have to pre-book day trip, excursion?
Yes, we strongly recommend making a booking online early (at least 1 day ahead).
Tour Guide
Can you arrange a professional tour guide?
Yes, we can. But we think it is not essential and not good value. Better is to get organize tour on the spot, or get all the information from the visitor centre. Also our driver is your "mini" tour guide which has basic knowledge about your destination.
