Two tours are available. One is fully booked and there is no chance to purchase the ticket on the same day. The castle is on top of a hill. About an hour or so from the city.

it is amazing place out off rush cities, laid in small picturesque village with small suvenier shops. you will find there very nice rest

This castle is more visited by tourists coming from Prague than konopiste castle. But I personally liked konopiste castle better than karlstejn because of the unusual history and artifacts. In karlstejn castle, it's the usual royal family history where this was betrothed to that, married this, that died, these were their things, and so on, nothing as interesting. My advise,... More

A good day out from Prague. Easy to get to by train which run every thirty minutes. A return for 4 amounted to £8. Its a pleasant 10-15 minute walk from the station to centre of town. Suggest a cafe stop before hiking up to the castle a further 10minute steep hike, but well worth it for the views alone.You... More

My teenage daughter and I had had a good experience taking a guided bus tour of Cesky Krumlof castle so we decided to book a second castle tour with City tours for Karlstejn Castle.

A good way to see more than just central Prague. A beautiful setting with a good view. Many restaurants/cafés around, and tons of shops. Beware, though, that the walk up to the castle is a long and tough one.

Take a short trip outside Prague to see this castle. It's only a 40-50 min ride and it's beautiful. See how Charles 4th built this castle to house the crown jewels in stages atop a large hill. It's very cool.. This is coming from a guy who has seenany castles! The walk up the hill is 2km and not for... More

Very disappointed in the castle. There was not much to see. The highlight was an actor in costume in one room who sang for us! She had an exceptional voice and played a flute. There is little too see in the castle, we wished we had just looked at the exterior and left! It is an over one mile up... More
