Karlstejn Castle, Karlstejn

If you know CR then you know that every village has its own castle / chateaux. Many say that this is the most beautiful castle from CR, in a way it is however I may say that it is probably the most famous one. When it comes to the most beautiful I can't be so sure as CR has many amazing castles and chateaux. It is up to you to decide what is the most beautiful one.

The castle is beautiful but we didn't go inside based on some other reviews. The town is very sweet although very small and pretty touristy. Its only a convenient 40 minute train ride from Prague though so definitely worth a half a day at least.

Great famous castle. Very friendly and enthusiastic tours. Especially tour II which needs to be booked before the visit.

The Karlstejn township is a very nice approach to the castle itself, with many souvenir shops, bars and restaurants. We had photo taken holding a large owl. We had a meal at one such restaurant and enjoyed the food and beer, The castle is great to visit and the tour and explanation about the history very interesting. The views of surrounding area are nice as the castle is up high. Well worth a visit. Allow 4 hours to enjoy the township and tour of the castle.

We visited the castle with a baby, and since the acoustic in the castle is very bad, the baby's babbling were apparently annoying the guide. The guide was very unpleasant and rude, and asked us to leave right at the beginning telling us that we would get refunded. We agreed and left. Since we bought the tickets online we could only get a refund by sending a mail. We folloed the instructions but we got no answer. We are very disappointed. I think they should wright on the website that the visit is not recommended for babies. I strongly disrecommend for families.
