The local driver will share stories of medieval monks, architectural wonders, and the town’s unique cultural legacy. As you wander through cobbled streets and quiet courtyards, you’ll sense the spiritual depth of a place where two faiths thrived side by side.

Zamek Jaromerice Nad Rokytnou - A 15-minute transfer. The journey continues to the magnificent chateau of Jaroměřice nad Rokytou, often referred to as the “Moravian Versailles.” With its grand yellow Baroque façade, expansive gardens, and riverside setting, this lesser-known palace feels like stepping into an 18th-century opera. Even from the outside, the architecture and setting make a lasting impression. The driver will guide you around the grounds, sharing stories of aristocratic life, music, and the cultural ambition that made this chateau a true jewel of its time. As you stroll past fountains, courtyards, and the adjacent church, you’ll experience one of South Moravia’s most photogenic and romantic corners—still untouched by mass tourism.
