Amazing cathedral with Gothic style architecture. The building is clearly visible in this small town with few tall buildings. The twin towers looked massive from a distance, and even more imposing up close. Inside is richly decorated. There are many religious artifacts, paintings, sculptures, and relics. Definitely worth visiting if you are in the area. There are also many street vendors selling great foods outside. This entire area is very pedestrian friendly.

The Frauenkirche is a true treasure! Its historical importance and stunning architecture make it an essential destination. Rebuilt after the war, it's a delight for history and architecture enthusiasts alike. Apart from its scenic views, the area hosts numerous talented street performers. It's worth taking the time to appreciate their efforts to make a living. Visiting this church in Nuremberg was a treat for both history and architecture lovers. Although crowded on weekends, it's still worth the wait to enter. Located in the old town area, its towering spires and intricate design are impressive. Inside, the high ceilings and detailed interior add to the experience. Donations are encouraged, and there's a shop and information boards to learn more about its history. A worthwhile stop on the way to the castle area from the main train station.

Very large with a high ceiling. Here you can specifically see how kings where different from serfs. How they built structures. And how they differ to now. It's a great experience to be in a place that's older than the whole united states twice over.

The magic thing about the St. Lorenz (St. Lawrence) Church is its amazing rebuilding/restoration after it was almost completely destroyed during WWII. The church is wonderfully ornated. It is a true architectural gothic-style building. However, there aren't many people visiting it, and the walk-in is pleasant and relaxing.
Horia Banciu — Google review
It's a medieval church renowned for its Gothic architecture and impressive sculptures. The church is a significant landmark in Nuremberg and is known for its stunning interior, including the famous "Angel's Choir" by sculptor Adam Kraft.

The Lorenzkirche is in the heart of the old city walls of Nüremberg. It chimes and reminds people what time of day it is no mater what part of the old town your in. Around Christmas time some of the best Christmas markets can be found in all the streets and market place area around the Church. This is a visually beautiful area of Nüremberg and the Christmas markets are a bonus, they truly are a annual treat.

The church was originally built as a three-aisled basilica in the Gothic style around 1250, then expanded by an imposing late Gothic hall choir between 1439 and 1477. It was seriously damaged 😔 during the Second World War and it took about seven years to restore it.

A very interesting place. Very informative displays. Visited as part of a walk around the entire site (which took a good couple of hours) I would have rated it higher if it hadn’t been a temporary exhibition. Compared to the similar Document Centre we visited in Munich (which was free, this one wasn’t) there was far more information available.

Looks like it's having a major overhaul (Oct 22) so the interim exhibition is not much to look at. The building and structure is pretty amazing though. Look forward to visiting again when it's all done.

The museum is currently in renovation. Currently, there is just one small part arranged. The entrance of 6 euro is a bit steep for what it is now, but already to stay in a real place of the history that you explain is a big plus. Then, even though it is temporary, it is well done and give you an understanding of the area.

Though currently under construction/refurbishment, it was still a good visit.

Heavy stuff, but super enlightening.
I can’t imagine how crowded it would be on a busy day, but my party and I were able to take our time and not feel crowded.
I recommend several breaks for fresh air like me if stuff like this can weigh you down.
Several tours walked through while we observed, read, contemplated, interact with displays, and processed all this information ℹ️.
Don’t be afraid to ask questions, it is alright to not know something. We are all here to learn.
Time should be taken if distractions tend to be a problem, because I have issues staying still at all moments. There is a lot to take in and it’s easy to miss things.

The museum is great. Anyone interested in old cars and aviation with Zeppelins has come to the right place. Entrance fee of 9.50 euros is just about okay.
However, parts of the museum are not heated. Be sure to dress warmly in winter. A room temperature that was 3 or 4 degrees higher wouldn't have been bad.
No credit cards accepted, only debit cards.

I guess it is over rated; though there was some nice vintage cars, but the museum is relatively small.

There are some interesting facts though, about the bike industry and patents, and also the war tanks industry.
The video related to the Hindenburg disaster and the crash of the Zeppelin in the US in 1937, was really touching!

If you like the history of the automobile, this small museum is a must-see.

I am sorry to say this, however as of now I cannot suggest this place to any of my friends.
It is clearly an old place and it looks like it’s not kept up as it is supposed to be.
- There is algae in all the outside filters and the inside filters do not look really clean either.
- The little “cave” has residue on the walls which makes me feel icky.
- The seats were made out of really cheap looking plastic and the metal frames of quiet a few of the loungers are rusty.
a. s. o. ..
There is no reason to make a special Tripp to this location.
T S — Google review
From the outside the place has great appeal with modern architecture and smooth surfaces, however once inside the age of the building shows. The changing rooms are packed full with changing booths and lockers with little room to maneuver around. There is only one male and one female shower room with 5-7 shower heads.
The pool area is cramped with chairs along the edges forcing you to side step past them. The concrete walls show signs of water damage and paint peeling all over. The two indoor “hot” pools were actually mildly warm with only small sections of bubbling water.
The area with the children’s pool and area was very nicely layout, however most of the kids were in the main area with their parents in the warm pools. Their behavior and loudness took away from the goal of relaxing.
A recommendation for the locker keys and access control to different areas, use a more modern method like a rubber wrist band embedded with a chip that is programmed at front desk. The coin chip works, however placing it in the wrist band holder with the locker key is bulky and requires constant attention to ensure it’s still tight or fastened to wrist.
Overall the place is best suited to take your children and let them burn some energy off. This is NOT a place to go if you wanna relax in a hot therme.

Nice area to discover - the cave is just great, 45 mins route done by an experienced guide (only speaks German) seeing everything (BTW - take a jacket with you, inside is quite cold). Outside, the area is gorgeous so you could hike around and there are a few options to lunch - prices are reasonable and quality is overall good. Last but not least, the people working there is kind and there is a parking area next to it, but also some other lots nearby.

There is so much more than the cave in the area - if it's summer you can plan a whole day starting with thos amazing cave tour.
Even on a busy Sunday parking was not hard and it's €2 for two hours. There is a nice cafe on site and TONS of trails to walk on after the tour.
The tour itself was cheap and a lot of fun. They have lots of different language options as well. That have a family ticket that includes 2 adults and three kids for only €20. We brought light jackets and it was fine for the temperature.
100% would recommend.

Definetly worth visiting, they even have student discount (5€ each ticket) and give you a guided tour (which is in germany but at the end they'll play a english version over the spearks for you to understand everything about the devil's cave!). Addionally the tour guide was very nice to everyone. Beware that the path has a lot of stairs and can be a bit claustrophobic. In some parts you'll need to crouch a bit to be able to go through. But, again, it's definetly worth it!

(Translated by Google) It's nice that as a pedestrian or cyclist you have the opportunity to enjoy the teasing view of the city glasses from this small bridge. In order to have the full effect, the bushes on the left side would have to be trimmed a bit, as nature has already done a great job here.

(Translated by Google) The most worth seeing bridge in Amberg is the popularly called Stadtbrille. A water gate with a length of 46 meters was first mentioned in 1454 and bridges the Vils. Several renovations were carried out up to 1698. Since then, the bridge has had its current appearance. A great photo opportunity and certainly a must when visiting Amberg.

Die wohl sehenswerteste Brücke in Amberg ist die volkstümlich genannte Stadtbrille. Ein Wassertorbau mit 46 Metern Länge, wurde 1454 erstmals erwähnt und überbrückt die Vils. Mehrere Umbauten erfolgten bis zum Jahr 1698. Seitdem hat die Brücke ihr aktuelles Aussehen. Ein klasse Fotomotiv und sicher ein Pflichtprogramm bei einem Besuch in Amberg.

Soos Nature Reserve
A nature reserve, curiosity and European rarity in one!
The Soos National Nature Reserve lies not far from Františkové Lázně. The vast peat bogs with lakes, mineral springs and gaseous carbon dioxide springs are reminiscent of a prehistoric landscape. The most interesting places include a nature trail that leads directly above the bogs along meandering wooden walkways. You can see a natural geological park, a museum dedicated to the local nature, the history of the Earth and an exhibition of life-size models of prehistoric animals.
It also shows the flora and fauna endemic to this species due to the specific geological conditions of the soil and subsoil.

Beautiful piece of Carlsbad's region. The way is approximately 1.5km long and along the way there are some pieces of information about the place. It is more than suitable for family and it costs only 90Kč per person.

This place is worth a visit. The first part of the walk is not spectacular, mainly walking through a swamp. It gets much more interesting though, with a near moon-like landscape including a lot of geysers (which may not be the right term here). Odd to pay for a walk through nature, but well worth a visit.

Truly amazing nature, and well organized tourist attraction. The little museum at the exit / entrance was particularly delightful for an eight year old boy while the walkways were adequate for a stroller with a sleeping baby, for nature's funs well worth a visit!
Amazing place and highly recommend to visit

The Singing Fountain, also known as Zpivajici Fontana, is a popular tourist attraction featuring over 250 water jets that dance to classical and popular music. Lit up after dark, the fountain offers seasonal displays with hourly performances throughout the day and evening. Built as part of the reconstruction of the Maxim Gorky Promenade in the 1980s, this architectural marvel was designed by Pavel Miksik and features specially composed music by Petr Hapka.
A very appropriate attraction for this amazing surroundings. Check showtimes before heading there.

If playing pre-recorded music to a water fountain is a tourist attraction, my morning showers are worthy of a map pin. To be fair this visit was during daytime and there might be more to the spectacle at night with lights. For me, the most surprising aspect in visiting this fountain was the "reborn" meetup surrounding the outer fountain wall with proud collectors displaying their babies and vintage carriages, filling the space between the on-the-hour fountain event with photo opps galore.

Very nice fountain with water dancing, we couldn't see the whole show but is a good entertainment
Iconic and yet very gorgeous colonnade which represents the whole Marienbad. It is very similar like Carlsbad colonnade and what is very cute, that u can feel, that it is feminine-like architecture in its form and architectural accent. It is not worse nor bad, it is simply Marienbad icon, which represents the character of this place. The only thing which is bit sad is the flooring, which should be reconstructed and changed to some marble, limestone or other much higher quality material that will last. But by the end of the day, still beautiful.

The visitor center of the Moser Glass Museum offers an insightful and entertaining glimpse into the world of glassmaking, with demonstrations of historic pieces as well as displays of contemporary glassblowing techniques. The museum is housed within the original 1893 Ludwig Moser workshop, which remains a reference point for the craft to this day.
Dont miss to visit this Museum! It it the place where you can find all these real Bohemian Crystals. Here originates those Crystals also from Swarowski. They are so wonderful and indescribably beautiful. We were able to buy some colorful drinking Glasses as souvenirs.

First let me say a visit to Karlovy Vary will blow your mind! It's a beautiful small "spa" town nestled at the bottom of a lush valley with multiple hot mineral springs offering passersby the opportunity to fill their specially designed porcelain cups with the mineral rich liquid.
My visit to the Moser Glass Factory was one of the most interesting tours I've ever taken. You will find a small museum (where we unfortunately didn't have much time to spend there) filled with some of the most beautiful pieces of glassworks I've ever seen, a gift shop with items ranging from low-high, and a courtyard with some very interesting pieces of glass art.
Eventually we made our way to the factory for a guided tour and it was unbelievable. The temperature inside the factory is well over 110 degrees while men are blowing, turning, shaping and cutting hot liquid glass into their end product. It is a process that didn't appear to have changed over the centuries. I would highly recommend a visit to this pearl of the Czech Republic. And if you can, afford yourself a small treasure from the Moser Glass Factory. It's a true Czech souvenir!

A visit to the Moser museum glass factory is well worth the trip. Although the factory is small, we had an english speaking tour guide who explained every aspect of the process in detail. The tour ended in the shop where you could buy various items handmade in the factory. They were quite expensive, however, after seeing that every piece is handmade it is understandable why.

Waste of time and you pay 5 euros entrance. The museum is the size of two rooms, you finish it in 3 minutes. The ones shown there are simple and not impressive at all. Next to it is a glass shop which is much better and free, but it's not worth visiting there either. Do not arrive

"I had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Glass MOSER and was truly impressed by the beauty and craftsmanship on display. I was struck by the stunning architecture of the museum building, which was once a glassworks. The exhibits inside were equally impressive, with a wide range of glass objects on display, ranging from delicate figurines to intricate vases.
Overall, I highly recommend a visit to the Museum of Glass MOSER. Whether you're a fan of glass art or just looking for a unique and interesting museum experience, you won't be disappointed. The museum's beautiful setting and impressive collection make it a must-see destination for anyone in the area."

The Diana observation tower offers breathtaking views of the city and distant mountain ranges. It can be reached by funicular or hiking, and is well-worth the effort for those who want to get a sense of Karlovy Vary's stunning surroundings.
Great view over the Karlovy Vary valley. There is even elevator up and down 😲. Worth to walk there as the forest park around is really nice 👍.

Must to visit place in Karlovy Vary. You can walk all the way up or cheat and use very unique cable lift. I was cheating of course. There is a small fee to be paid and off you go. Observation tower is walking distance from the cable lift station and there is a restaurant with the butterfly farm next to it. Entry to the tower is free of charge and there are steps up and down or lift in the middle. From there you can see the whole town of Karlovy Vary.
Michal Valent — Google review
Absolutely stunning lookout. The lift was under maintenance apparently but i managed to climbed the 150 steps, it wasn’t that bad at all for average for healthy person. I went on Wednesday in November so there were no waiting times at all! Perfect! Went to their restaurant to refill the tummy, took some awesome photos in the beautiful autumn trees nearby. Worth it! If you dont visit here then you definitely do not officially explored karlovy vary town. Just make sure you take the right funicular/train, not the one in Imperial station as i made a mistake by going there.
Tried to buy funicular ticket online but couldn’t find the button on the website. Czech website kinda sucks most of them.

This tower stands at a scenic viewpoint from which you can see the forests and the mountains and the town of Karlovy Vary nestled in the valley below. Many of the visitors to Karlovy Vary over the centuries have visited here, including Goethe. A funicular takes up to the top of the hill the. You can take an elevator free of charge to go to the summit, there are also pleasant paths and hikes through the surrounding woods. There is also a restaurent and small zoo with many cute little piggies 🐷.

You can get there by lift or stairs. It has a spectacular 360° view of Karlovy Vary and surrounding areas. A must visit if you have a few hours! You can hike up from Karlovy Vary or take the lift car. From there you can hike down and enjoy nature.

It was one of the nicest towers I've visited in the EU. 150 wide steps, all uniform construction, too, plus they are completely enclosed.
I like the signs telling you what is in the distance from each section of the lookout area. There's an elevator as well. I imagine maintenance funds come from the cable car fees (which were reasonable) from Karlovy Vary, just behind the famous Grandhotel Pupp.

The Mill Colonnade is a Neo-Renaissance design with 124 columns that stretches across the heart of the old town in Karlovy Vary. The colonnade features five hot springs and an orchestra space, which makes it the perfect place to start your day or end your night.

I am not sure why this place (or the colonnades in Karlovy Vary) are so special. Sure, it is some nice architecture to look at, but otherwise they mostly seem to have no function. If you are hanging around, they are a good reference point to find downtown, but to me they did not offer much else.

Nice place, part of Karlovy Vary charm. Here, I have to highlight. Karlovy Vary, as such has 50k citizens, give or take. However, Karlovy Vary known for mineral water and SPA is just a small part, so called old city. Beautiful and charming architecture but strongly commercialized to drain tourists.

Karlovy Vary's most famous hot spring is Vridelní kolonáda, which has a geyser that can spurt out up to 2000 litres per minute. There are also four other springs inside the building, which visitors can sample for free. This tourist attraction is a popular spot in Karlovy Vary, with many people coming to soak in the thermal water and see the geyser.
A different scene in the city where the springs are inside a building.

Overall i'd give this place five stars if the tour wasn't so short and quite boring. The massive indoor spring was super cool. The water that you could drink was hot and had minerals. (I preferably don't like it) And the people there spoke many languages and were quite nice. 👍

I have been visiting the hot spring colonnade for many years and over the years it changed a lot and also some aspects didn't change at all. They always sold items here, like mineral water drinking cups, petrified roses, porcelain, and glass. Now there are a high number of stands with cheap Chinese stuff. The entire atmosphere was not pleasant and I got dirty feel from it. The colonnade used to be light, with clean glass and a lot of plants inside. There is no entrance fee and the colonnade closes at 6pm.

Have been several times now and always enjoy it.
Get amongst it, buy your little water sipper and then have some fun tasting all the different springs.
There are 15 in total, all with varying flavours and temperatures.
Find a good parking spot close enough to walk, toilets will all cost you 10kc.
Lots of Russians here and plenty of rich people as well.

Our first "major" stop during our road trip back to Lithuania from Germany. We did not expect anything special, since it is winter period after all, how ever we ended up being surprisingly pleased. We have never been in Czech Republic before and so, we thought it is a good idea to take a peak inside of it as we drove back. And to be honest, it surely has its ups and downs. For example, the nature is really beautiful regardless of the fact that it is winter. But that is not what I am writing about. This natural spring fountain got us surprised. In the morning we just saw a large cloud of vapor coming out from the river and we went to investigate it. And then we saw that fountain, which occasionally spurs out some vapor. It was my personal first time encountering this type of a sight. However, it was not as spectacular as some may describe. But overall, a decent sightsee to see if you end up in Czech.

To most people it is an unique experience to visit the town and taste different types of spring water. These spring waters can be helpful to your health and will show effect after drinking continuously for 4 to 6 weeks.

The most famous hotel is the Grand Hotel Pupp. It has been appeared in one of the James Bond movie.

I rarely give 5 stars to anywhere but this place is fabulous. Top sight in Klatovy. It’s very modern with good explanatory information. A few video reels as well. The mummies are amazing. Most preserved I’ve ever seen a yet in the world. As they explain, it’s natural mummification because of the hot dry atmosphere. A must see in Klatovy. Unfortunately I can’t post pictures of the mummies because it’s not allowed by Google. Same as art that shows nudity. Art censorship

Plzeň Zoo is a combination of zoo and botanic gardens that boasts over 1300 species. The park offers a breeding program and visitors can see animals such as rhinos, cheetahs, hippos, lemurs, and leopards with their cubs. There are snack bars available throughout the zoo which is quite big and takes approximately 5 hours to explore due to the abundance of animals to admire.
Surprisingly big with lots of exotic animals. Unfortunately tigers were not out on display but the Lion cage made up for it! Super cool how they presented the lions, let's you stand just a few feet away with nothing but glass between you so makes for awesome photo opp!

On a Friday in March, there was no crowd, so the visit was really smooth (except for some construction work - but that's reasonable that they do the expansion of animal pavilions in low season).

One of the biggest Zoos in CZ. You can walk there 10kms and enjoy space and many species. Part of the Zoo is also botanical garden. Amount of flowers is even more incredible than for animals.

Very good experience overall. The Dino park is very childish and small and is only good for children but it is very expensive. Don't waste your money for the Dino park. The zoo is beautiful and has lots of snack bars around. Quite big and we needed about 5 hours plus as there are many many animals to admire. The lemurs are the best as they roam freely around you. That alone got our money back which is very fun! The birds look the most unhealthy in the zoo as the cages have been built too low. The birds are not able to fly at all. The leopard mother is very fierce but her 2 cubs are extremely adorable. Recommended to go if you are in that area!

If you want a map, ask the cashier when buying your ticket.

The Cathedral of St. Bartholomew is a Gothic cathedral built in the late 13th-century with the Czech Republic's tallest spire. It showcases Renaissance paintings and provides a beautiful panoramic view of Plzen and its main square from the top, which can be reached through wide stairs that are not too steep. A net cage completely encloses the platform at the top for safety reasons.
A grey cathedral. The cathedral is a wonderful example of gothic medieval architecture. You can walk around the entire structure, as it is located in the middle of the beautiful main square of the city. The interior has many lovely paintings and altars. The hanging central cross with mourning John and Maria’s is exceptional. You can climb the impressive tower for a far view of the area. Well worth a visit, which is free when we went there.

Visiting the cathedral was a stairway to both awe and exhaustion! The climb to the top's 13 floors felt like a marathon for my calves, but the view was so stunning that I momentarily forgot I had legs. It literally took my breath away - and not just from the stairs. The panoramic spectacle from the tower is worth every step, and the feeling of accomplishment at the summit is like reaching the pinnacle of a comedic workout routine. Definitely a must-visit, just be prepared for a workout with a side of breathtaking beauty!

A bit simpler but all the more majestic cathedral, definitely worth a visit. Free entrance.

Very beautiful inside and there is an opportunity to climb the tower. It will cost 60 CZK for a student.

Visited before Xmas and impress by church with Gothic architecture.
It's main and has highest clock town in Czech.
And also lucky to meet weekend market.
May see all kinds of local food and desert.
Also must try the hot red wine with fruit/flower.
There're accessories and handicraft.
Good luck to find one that you may interested.
Glad to visit.

Really nice view of the city around. On a clear day expect to see very far.
Low price for a rewarding view.
The climb to the top is a lot and quite steep at some stops. Not really recommend for elder people. Take your time and enjoy the top.

The Cathedral of St. Bartholomew in Plzen, Czech Republic, is a magnificent religious monument that showcases a unique blend of Gothic and Baroque architecture.
Located in the city's historic center, the cathedral's exterior is a stunning example of Gothic design, with soaring spires and intricate stonework that have been beautifully preserved over the centuries. The interior is equally impressive, with an ornate Baroque altar and a stunning ceiling fresco that depicts scenes from the life of St. Bartholomew.
When visiting Pilsen, the Old Pilsner Urquell Brewery water Tower is a must-see attraction for beer enthusiasts. The brewery, in operation since 1842, offers guided tours that take visitors through the history of Pilsner Beer production. Tour highlights include a visit to the old cellars and a taste of unpasteurized beer at the end.
Super
Jiří Krubl — Google review
(Translated by Google) Wonderful
I bought the tour in advance paying 16 euros
With more than 1h30m of explanations about the construction of the factory and the beginning of the production of pilsner beer
It was worth every penny
Tasting a glass of unpasteurized beer that will serve as the basis for large-scale production
I recommend the store at the end of the tour for unforgettable souvenirs and also to taste the beers ready for consumption

Maravilhosa
Comprei o tour antecipado pagando 16 euros
Com mais de 1h30m de explicações acerca da construção da fábrica e início da fabricação da cerveja pilsen
Valeu cada centavo
A degustação de um copo apenas da cerveja não pasteurizada que servirá de base pra produção de larga escala
Recomendo a loja no fim do tour para lembranças inesquecíveis e tbem degustar as cervejas já prontas pro consumo

(Translated by Google) A very nice experience. Much of the history tour lasts about an hour. The presentation is indeed done at a high level and professionally.
You will also visit the old part of the new one.
And the best is the underground which is really big.
And at the end, of course, a tasting of unfiltered Pilsen, which matures in underground barrels.
And be sure to visit the souvenir shop.

Veľmi pekný zážitok . Veľa z histórie prehliadka trvá cca hodinu . Prezentácia je ozaj spravená na úrovni a profesionálne .
Navštívite aj starú časť novú .
A najlepšie je to podzemie ktoré je naozaj veľké .
A na konci samozrejne ochutnávka nefiltrovaneho Plzna ktorý zreje v sudoch v podzemí .
A určite navštívte aj predajnu suvenírov .

Rabí Castle
Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Ancient Ruins
Hilltop, fortified castle complex ruins, dating from the 14th century, destroyed by fire in 1720.
This castle ruin is easily accessible from the center of the town Rabí. The parking now costs 100 Kč per car, guided tour 160 Kč per person, discounted 130 Kč. We chose limited unguided walk for 50 Kč as we were pressed for time. The short access directly to the ticket booth and castle gate is extremely uneven and steep, full of jutting stones and slippery on a rainy day when we were there. Once you get in, the walking gets much easier, as there are more level dirt paths and maintained grass areas. Inside the restored horse stable was a nice photo exhibition of Šumava localities. When you are done here, consider a stop at the well known restaurant in the town square.

Jon Simonson — Google review
The largest castle ruin complex in Czechia.
To see more than the first courtyard, you need to pay quite a steep entry fee of 150 CZK/person, which also includes a 40 minute long tour guide in Czech.
The tour starts at the precise time, no matter what the weather conditions, which can be harsh if it's windy or rainy (remember, it's a ruin). Our guide was a bit rough around the edges and sometimes shouted at the kids or adults in the group to stay quiet, but I personally enjoyed his no BS character.
Overall interesting, but I couldn't find the price justifiable, because the complex gets enough visitors and doesn't aim to restore the castle into its full original state.
Joe Lobotka — Google review
Castle ruins in a beautiful state with a great location above the city. Well seen from around the city as well as great views from the castle over the surrounding area.
Only the inner court and the old stables can be visited without a tour. Various tours are offered (here even in English) to see all of the remaining buildings of the castle you need to book various tours. Due to time limitations we only could take the palace tour.
Would definitely visit again to explore the rest of the site.

No English tours and they don't allow you go around without a guide. So you have to pay for a Czech tour guide who you will never understand. Also if you pay to enter just to the castle ground you have to pay 50 czk per person and let me tell you, if I dropped somewhere and lost 50 czk, I'd feel much much less sad than paying castle Rabi, literally nowhere to go around. Sad.
Medieval water castle with towers & turrets, plus extensive grounds home to fallow deer & a cafe.
Came here for a quick drop by on the way back from a spa. Wonderful to see the animals in an open space and relaxed. I even managed to pinch an antler from the ground lucky me.

The castle is great, you can feed deers there and look at beautiful peacocks. I liked it but I expected the territory to be bigger. I would suggest you to visit on weekday so deers won't be as fed and you can get more of their attention.

Beautiful . There are 2 yours available. These tours are given in Czech but they do have printed booklets that go along with the tour in English German Russian and i think French. I loved it especially because this is where one of my favorite movies was partly filmed, Šíleně Smutná Princezna. You can enter the Castle gardens separately which costs 30 KČ per person. Beautiful 300+ year old trees. Lots of beautiful peacocks and you can pay to feed deer.

Fantastic place to walk and visit on weekends. The park is huge and walking relaxes you and you see the deer pass by your side. You can offer them special food (carrot) that you take there. Going around with the lamas is a great experience. The events that are organized in the place are an opportunity to learn about local products and try international food, drinking some wine, drinking beer or just resting.

I had a wonderful time visiting Blatna Castle and its deer park. The castle is a hidden gem, with a beautiful exterior and interesting history. The guided tour inside the castle was informative and engaging, giving a great insight into the life of nobility in the past. The deer park is a peaceful and serene oasis, with well-maintained pathways and plenty of deer roaming freely. It was a joy to observe the deer up close, and feeding them was an unforgettable experience. The castle grounds are picturesque and offer many opportunities for stunning photos. Overall, I highly recommend a visit to Blatna Castle and deer park for its beauty, tranquility, and historical significance

Great for a visit with kids! The castle park is very big and good for walks. There are also many deer in it that can be fed by hand. At the time of our visit there was also a nice Lego exhibition inside the castle. I recommend Blatna for a visit.

Eldar Bakerman — Google review
Access is only available on a tour. All tours are in Czech with with audio guides included in the price of 195 Kc.
The English audio guide was a very abbreviated version of the actual descriptions of the guide and in places it was not accurate.
Our group comprised one couple who spoke Czech and us. The guide at times spoke for 5 minutes after the audio guide finished and he made no effort to include us in the tour. He seemed to be a humourless soul but to be fair he did the 11.00, 12.00 and 13.00 tours back to back with no break between tours.
What is on display is ok, unfortunately the inadequacy of the audio guide means I can not recommend this tour.

Křivoklát Castle, a 12th-century hunting lodge nestled in a dense forest, has a fascinating history as a royal residence and even a prison. The castle was rebuilt in the 19th century and now features a chapel, dungeon, and museum showcasing sleighs. A tour of the castle includes highlights such as the impressive library with over 52,000 books, the Royal Hall, and Gothic chapel.
Visited during Easter. 2nd visit already. Recommended but be aware if with small children no place for strollers bring baby carrier

Suggesting to buy tickets online, because if the weather is good and during the weekend there might be a lot of people and exhibition tours has a limit, so might be sold out. Unfortunately the tours are only in czech language, but still it's nice to see the castle from inside. Double check via phone maybe they can organize it in English if you inform in advance.

Been here numerous times. It's close to where I stay with family. The castle only has one tour. It's been the same tour for 20+ years. I love going back none the less. Beautiful views over the Vltava river. Gardens and you can even get on a boat tour here. You can Go from Orlík to Zvíkov on the boat. They do one way or round trips. A couple of cafes here at Orlík as well. And the village has great restaurants and cafe bars as well. I highly recommend this area. It is one of my favorites. Also, this is one of the Castles you can not take pics inside.

I really liked the castle and surrounding area. The tour inside the castle is guided only, which I'm not a fan of but I was told our guide was very good and made some nice jokes too. (I don't speak Czech, but of course information sheets are given out in other languages that explain the rooms, you just miss out on the jokes).
No photos allowed inside the castle, but there are beautifully styled rooms, large collection of shotguns and deer antlers. Even one that was shot by Franz Ferdinand!

Karlštejn Castle is a beautiful Gothic castle in the countryside southwest of Prague. It is home to many royal treasures, including paintings and portraits of the emperor and his family. There are regular tours available, which are recommended if you want to see this magnificent building up close.
Excellent bathrooms and cafe up at the castle. Also were street vendors in the courtyard serving food and beer. Not a bad wake in that environment at all! Great view of the city or rather town below. The tour of the castle itself was engaging and interesting. Just about the right length of time.

Located about 30 kilometers southwest of Prague, Karlštejn Castle started life in 1348 and has since risen in the ranks to one of the best castles in the Czech Republic.
Karlštejn Castle was founded by the Charles IV, King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor as his private residence and a place of safekeeping royal treasures, especially his collections of holy relics and the Imperial Crown Jewels. In 1355 Charles IV stayed here for the first time, overseeing the construction and decoration work, especially in chapels. The construction was completed in 1365 when the Chapel of the Holy Cross in the Great Tower was consecrated.
The Chapel of the Holy Cross was the place of safekeeping the imperial crown jewels until 1420 when the Hussite wars (religious civil war) began, and they had not ever returned to Karlštejn Castle. After the wars in 1436, the Bohemian crown jewels were taken to the Chapel of the Holy Cross where they remained till 1619.
The castle was a representative residence of Charles IV and his son Wenceslas IV only, i.e. till 1419. As a fortress, Karlštejn Castle protected the crown jewels, holy relics, and royal archives till the 17th century.
After 1480 the castle was rebuilt in the late Gothic style, in the last quarter of the 16th century in the Renaissance style. During the last reconstruction that took place at the end of the 19th century (by architect Josef Mocker) in the spirit of purism, the castle gained its present appearance.
The preserved original stair-arrangement of individual castle buildings is very impressive. The lower section with a small courtyard by the Well Tower and the Burgrave´s House continue through the majestic five-storey Imperial Palace and the Marian Tower. At the highest point, the construction of the castle culminates in a monumental, 60-meter-high Great Tower and its massive fortifications.
An unique original 14th-century wall decoration, a set of 129 paintings created by Master Theodoric in the Chapel of the Holy Cross (the largest in the world), the largest portrait gallery of kings of Bohemia in the Czech Republic, a replica of the royal Crown of Bohemia, a unique castle well. The castle is also famous as a set to a comedy play Night at Karlštejn Castle by Czech poet Jaroslav Vrchlický.
After centuries of lying in near ruin, much needed restorative work has restored the Gothic castle to all its former glory, making it an immensely popular destination. The bustling tourist crowds are a stark contrast to the peaceful surrounding countryside which offers views of Karlstejn’s stunning exterior.
From November, 01st, 2021 to March, 31st, 2022 the castle is closed to the public, including the garden.

Great day trip just 30 minute train ride from Prague. The mandatory guided tours are informative and full of neat information. During winter months, the main part is closed off for preservation, so best to visit after May. We still enjoyed our time at the castle and in town, despite not being able to see everything.

Beautiful bohemian castle not far outside of Prague. My guide said many consider it to be the most beautiful in the whole country. However, I visited in April and a portion of the castle (including the chapel) was closed to the public. Also, the village that the castle is located in is seasonal, as there were no stores or restaurants open in the town on a Tuesday afternoon! I would recommend visiting between May-October.

Such a beautiful stop, this could be a quick adventure throughout your visit , it literally takes less than an hour to get here from the main train station and like 20 min walk from the train stop to the castle , the tours are 300 czk for the most basic one , and there are a lot of shops and restaurants that are along the way.

Impressive views, of and from the castle.
It's a nice good really up the hill, through the small village at the foot of the castle.
Many pitstop temptations before getting to the castle itself, I suggest considering a restaurant stop when coming back from the castle.
The tours are organized in Czech and in English.
Although there was a partial reconstruction in the courtyard that didn't impact the overall feeling of the place, its history and beauty.
Florin Hercal — Google review
Karlstejn Castle may not have a lot of history to back it up, considering it was constructed in less than 10 years and served as a storage for crowns and jewels rather than an official residence, but it's worth a day trip from Prague. If you don't drive a car, I recommend taking a one-way cab (Uber / Bolt) from Prague to the castle, after which you would only need to walk up to 5 minutes to the entrance where the tours begin. It's convenient and saves you the uphill climb. While going back, there are of course no cabs available so you'd need to take the train. The train station is a 30 minute walk from the entrance of the castle, right on the other side of the river, and the train itself takes only 45 minutes to get you to the Prague city center. It's quite convenient.
Second, I also recommend buying tour tickets in advance on their website, after which you only need to wait at the meeting point and do not have to queue up for tickets (note that you cannot enter the castle without a guided tour.) There are three types of tours available - I booked number 3 (View from the Great Tower), which is a short, 30 minute guided walk up to the fourth floor of the tour, and then you get 15 minutes to take pictures from the tower. Note that the tower is an enclosed space and the pictures are taken through windows, so you cannot take a picture of yourself with the castle from up the tower. This tour involved climbing some stairs but it wasn't too much.
There are also some areas you can explore on your own after the tour ends - the Clock Tower and the Well Tower are notable ones. I highly recommend the Well Tower, another 2 minute walk from the entrance, which has splendid views of the entire castle and is the best point to take a picture of yourself with the castle background! The well itself is also quite deep, and I also recommend a small souvenir shop by it, really cute hangings, bells, and fridge magnets available there.
The first few pictures I've added are from the Great Tower guided tour, and the last one is from the Well Tower. :)

Kristyna was our guide and she was absolutely delightful. We went on the Czech Tour (for time's sake) and she figured out pretty quickly that we didn't understand Czech, so when we stopped at different spots on the tour she would then speak English for us.
We were very appreciative especially since we knew she didn't have to do that.
Wonderful castle. Bring Czech crowns though. Most things in the little town on the way only take cash.

There's nothing to see inside the castle!!! Total disappointment. The castle is just beautiful from the outside.... The excursion is about 30 minutes or so. I couldn't believe that people pay money for that. It is forbidden to take pictures inside but actually there's nothing to photograph :( It is much more exciting to go around the castle and take pictures and read the history in Wikipedia.

There's a train station 20mins walk away that's connected to Prague (ticket costs around 3-4€ one-way). Multiple stores that sell Czech drinks and food, restaurants with Czech food are open nearby. There are guided tours in Czech and English that I recommend taking. They cost 260 CZK. Beautiful scenery all around, nice photo spots, interesting castle history. Worthwhile visit, perfect for a one-day get-away from Prague

Excellent guide in English. It’s just a shame the visit is divided into three separate tours you can’t book at the same time as you miss out on a lot of rooms.
I recommend you plan your visit ahead and try to book all three back to back.
The grounds are breathtaking and so is the view. It’s real easy to reach the castle via train from Prague (40min ride - a train every half hour + 15min walk).
Don’t miss out on the video in the movie room, by the toilet under the main courtyard. It gives a nice picture of how the castle came to be.

March at 3pm. the lady who led the Czech tour didn't let us join the English group even though we don't understand a word of Czech. of course, she didn't even try to speak to us in English or explain herself, so we stood for over 20 minutes like complete idiots and listened to something we didn't understand at all. after the friendly guide from the English group agreed to let us join her group, the person in question still insisted that we must stay in her group. she was terribly unpleasant and unkind and annoying. it is completely unclear to me why and what is the point of it, but the experience we had was very miserable. another thing is that until 1.may. over half of the castle is closed. including the most important part that remained closed to visitors when we were there. the ticket price was not adjusted for that, but we paid the full price as if we had seen everything, which I personally think is wrong. I wouldn't go back again

We went here to visit the castle with a tour guide. Make sure you're on time because they are really on time to start the tour. We were 5 min too late because of traffic and the group already left. It's a fun place to visit and really great to see how the people lived in the early days.
Make sure to buy tickets in advance and yes they really do check your tickets when you enter.

Absolutely GORGEOUS CASTLE! There are several tours for visiting different parts of the castle, tours are available in both Czech and English. Drinks and snacks are available there in the castle. You cannot do self guiding tours, which I don't blame them for, and it's quite nice! It's a good hard hike up the hill, I believe I saw rides available for purchase for those who can't physically make the climb

An iconic czech castle. We visited during late winter and had an amazing castle tour.

An amazing place to visit when you want a break from the crowds in Prague. An easy drive or train ride and up hill walk from the city - this medieval castle does not disappoint. Definitely worth the cost of the exclusive tour - I did not expect to see such amazing art and history up close. You are not allowed to take photos inside the castle but I will remember it for a long time. All this set next to a charming village and lovely countryside. Well worth the day trip.

An amazing castle just 1 hour from Prague. Photos just do this place justice. Def worth a visit.
We went here for a teambuilding with 20+ people for Fort Boyard. I knew this activity since childhood times (popular tv show). I was little bit worried if it will be worth it, but I can DEFENITLY RECCOMEND it for everyone (best teambuilding so far). Staff, premises, activities and bus driver which we have ordered were extremely nice and helpful. Thanks a lot, will come again for sure :)

Great experience, many challenging rooms, and each requiring little different set of skills. We had a lot of fun during competing the other teams. It was worth the travel to the quite detached location. Only issue was that we didn't fully understood the rules before the game and had to repeat the first room several times before understanding how to correctly initiate the game and how to finish. So learn all before not to loose time as the game is paid by play time. Recommended.

Perfect for fun activities but needs to improve on the accommodation side. Overall a quite nice experience for us, over 1 night stay.

Terrible experience.
Went there with my family and most of the rooms were unbearable to stay in cause of the smell. Many things were broken or just not functional. Very expensive for a bad maintained attraction.

Practically nothing was done properly. Some of the challenges where not properly maintained - red floor did not trigger the alarm, hitting the hole with the ball many times did not register it, you could unknowingly skip a checkpoint, successfully reach the end... but the system registered it as a failure. Some of the staff behaved like it was forced to be there. Food tasted funny, Birrel also tasted funny, had no foam (probably old). Could be a great place if someone cared.

Great place for a group activity or day trip from Prague. The whole venue is well organised and decorated. You can easily spend 4 hours here which makes it excellent value for money. The rooms are varied and challenging so there is something for all abilities and ages. There is also a small self-service cafe with cheap drinks and snacks.

This is good corporate fun. A bit shabby. Poor English.

-1 star because of insufficient ventilation - after about 3-4 hours of playing, some of the rooms were almost unbearable to stay in due to bad smell.
The earlier you start in the day the less of a problem this is.

Awesome experience of fun, team bonding, competition. We were 3 great friends and emerged victorious with one of the best game score, as even greater friends, we went all in with our skills and engagement.
The environment is awesome, huge and beautiful, the chambers are well balanced with skill areas such as patience, dexterity, power/Stamina and intelligence. Even though we would appreciate more endurance type of rooms, with moving obstacles etc., there was only one. But we probably had expectations because of Ninja Factor and the Boyard TV show.
I understand that this was constructed for wider public, so all could make it if they tried hard enough, not just for top physically skilled people, its not a TV show with many attendees and big prize.
Our team was also not fully satisfied with the higher price, either there could be +5 more rooms or so (now being 25 total) or lesser price. This way we were pushed to rush in order not to pay much, coz you pay for the time played. Otherwise we would slow down a bit more and had a feedback, celebration after each round.
All in all, great experience, totally worth it. Made our day!
A museum, rose garden & bronze statues honoring a namesake village destroyed in 1942.
If you love Prague, you should visit the Lidice Memorial, at least once in your life. It’s the tragic history of revenge, of the Nazi’s, after the assassination of Heidrich, in Prague. The Nazi’s decided to completely erase the village of the two brave Czech troupers. Men were killed, women deported, and the children were first deported and then killed. And the then the village was erased, asif it never had existed.

The history of this place feels me sad. I recommend you visit it yourself and find out why 😉. Overall, Great views to walk with family and children. Don't forget to bring water as your kids would ask for it along the way coz it's a vast piece of land to walk.

A very sad place. I have been here many times to pay respect. Lidice was destroyed by the Nazi’s during WWII after Reinhard Heydrich was killed (died from his wounds related to assassination attempt on his life in Prague). The Children of Lidice statue and memorial is one of the most powerful and sad statues in the world that I have come across. To think humans can kill children is just beyond words.

Having briefly heard about the story of Lidice in an audiobook, I decided to take a morning solo trip out of Prague to check out the museum and memorial. I am so glad that I did. The museum is small, but very informative and powerful. Then taking a walk around the peaceful gardens and beautifully put together memorial, is incredibly moving. You can't help but connect with the little village that once existed there. More people should be aware of this story and visit this memorial. Not an easy morning learning about it, but very worthwhile.

Beautiful place with dramatic story. Indeed, the place of tragedy and the place of hope. And also it's a real kingdom of roses.
The Museum of Lidice is worthy to visit. To delve into the story of those innocent ones who were found guilty.
Besides, its a peaceful place with lake and vibe of silence.

A beautiful memorial.
Its a lovely tranquil place and the silence and what appears absence of the wildlife here, enhances the emotions that are felt.
My son left a teddy at the child's memorial, and there are candles and lanterns.
We didn't visit the museums but walked the friendship and peace gardens and through to the children of war memorial.
Dogs are welcome kept on a lead and there are plenty of bins but bring bags to keep the place clean.

Lovely, peaceful memorial for this heartbreaking part of Czech history.
Diane Huebner — Google review
Intense experience but absolutely worthwhile to make a visit. The memorial does honor to the horror that occurred here. The memorial is peaceful and expansive due to the large open space and walking trail that leads you through the grounds. Be prepared for some emotions.

A calm a peaceful park on the site of the original village. A historical "trail" allows you to imagine the atrocity that occurred here.

This shouldn’t be forgotten. This place is okay to visit to all age groups. The staff here is incredibly nice and kind and they really like to help. Most of them are children of mothers who returned from concentration camps. Also the set is here is great.. the toilets were clean and cafeteria offered normal prices. Thanks to all the staff who took care of us the whole day. I recommend this place to visit. Absolutely worth it.
