Overview

Enjoy scenic Czech countryside with Karlstejn castle and visit traditional Bohemia Crystal Glass Factory on a private day trip with professional local licensed guide. The trip includes tasty Bohemian lunch. The land of Czechia offers more than 1000 castles and chateaus. If you have to pick only one to visit, Karlstejn castle is the one. The role of this medieval castle (14th century) exceeded any other in the country - it was designed as a place to store the crown jewels, royal treasures and collections of holy relics. Today the castle has become the jewel itself (joining a group for tour of interiors). Visit also glassworks with know-how being passed from generation to generation in one family for 300 years. It is 30 min drive from the castle. Learn about history of Bohemia crystal and see master glass blowers at their work on a tour of the glassworks (joining a group; Saturdays available only in summer).

Your private guide and driver will pick you up at your Prague place. After 45 min of comfortable drive you reach Karlstejn village. Starting from there you walk up to the castle about 20 min (horse cab also available for extra cost). After exploring some courtyards you will enjoy guided tour in the Imperial Palace that was the seat of the king, his court and noblewomen (joining a group, admission 13 EUR for basic 1h tour; 30 EUR for 1,5h exclusive tour - reservation in advance required). The castle was built by Bohemian king and Roman caesar Charles IV. who was so humble that the highest and the most sacred place (Holy Cross Chapel) was entered only barefoot. The Chapel is decorated by 129 paintings as an exceptional storage of crown jewels and also holy relics (the exclusive tour). This unique place is full of stories and legends. One of them says that the castle was built only for secular and sacred purposes of the king, therefore to be able to meditate, women were forbidden from entering. After castle tour you taste traditional Czech lunch (included) away from tourist traps.
