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 return to enjoy Prague’s nightlife. The castle is extremely popular with locals and 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 and was built by the Czech King and Roman Emperor Charles IV as a place to keep the royal treasures safely.
As you approach Karlštejn village, you can enjoy great views of Karlštejn and the surrounding countryside. After you arrive, a short walk will take you to the castle gates, where you can join a guided tour. Later, you might have lunch at tremendous local village pubs or restaurants.

Private Tour Details
The castle is open every day except Mondays from 9 am to 6 pm (or until 5 pm or 4 pm in the off-season months). It is closed during January and February, except from 1st to 9th January.
The price includes return transport from Prague to your hotel and a waiting fee at Karlštejn Castle.
The price excludes the castle entrance fee, which is CZK 250 per person (the castle tour lasts 50 to 60 minutes).
It is recommended for anyone. Karlštejn can be easily seen on foot, but there is a relatively steep walk to the castle gates.
Tip: If you like castles, you can combine a visit to Karlštejn with a visit to Křivoklát, as both castles are excellent and quite different. Please contact us for a price quote.
