• Karlstejn Castle - A private guide and driver will collect you from your location in Prague. After a comfortable 45-minute drive, you will arrive at Karlstejn village. From there, it’s a 20-minute walk up to the castle. Once there, you can explore the courtyards before enjoying a guided tour of the Imperial Palace, which served as the residence of the king, his court, and noblewomen (join a group, admission is 13 EUR for a basic 1-hour tour; 30 EUR for a 1.5-hour exclusive tour - advance reservation required).

The castle was constructed by the Bohemian king and Roman emperor Charles IV, who was so humble that he entered the highest and most sacred place, the Holy Cross Chapel, only barefoot. The Chapel is adorned with 129 paintings and serves as an exceptional repository for crown jewels and holy relics (included in the exclusive tour).

This remarkable site is steeped in stories and legends. One such legend suggests that the castle was built solely for the king’s secular and sacred purposes, and to facilitate meditation, women were prohibited from entering.

• Karlstejn - After the castle tour, stroll through Karlstejn village and enjoy a traditional Czech lunch (not included) away from tourist hotspots.
• KonEpruske Caves - Visit the Koneprusy caves near the castle (a 20-minute drive) and join a guided group tour with an English text or audio guide app. You will witness stunning formations created by nature over 400 million years, including domes, chambers, and more, on a 1-hour tour covering 620 meters (0.3 miles) with 530 staircase steps (admission 5 EUR per person + 2 EUR for a photo license). The caves are a unique geomorphological phenomenon, a site for fossil discoveries, and a mineralogical location of global significance.

You will be accompanied by a friendly, professional local guide who is flexible and can tailor the program to your preferences. It will feel like a trip with an old local friend who is eager to provide the best insider tips and recommendations.
