4 Hours Excursion
A Spectacular Disney-like Castle Perched on a Hill, Surrounded by Lush Forests and Vineyards
Escape to the medieval fortress in the middle of breathtaking countryside, and still make it back in time to enjoy Prague’s nightlife. The castle is extremely popular with locals as well as tourists, and the streets are packed with souvenir vendors, tour groups and even school groups, especially in the summer months. This charming Gothic castle was founded in 1348, built by the Czech King and Roman Emperor Charles IV as a place for safekeeping of the royal treasures.
As you approach Karlštejn village you can enjoy great views of Karlštejn and the surrounding countryside. After you arrive, a short walk will bring you to the castle gates, where you can join a guided castle tour. Later on you might have a lunch at some of the great local village pubs or restaurants.
