Karlštejn Castle: the classic Prague day trip into the Bohemian Karst

Karlštejn is one of Czechia’s best-known castles, easy from Prague, with several tours and very different price levels.

Karlštejn is a classic trip that still works well: train from Prague, walk through the village and choose a castle tour. The basic tour is the easiest option, while the castle chapels tour is more expensive and requires reservation. Prices are in the separate Prices box. The best visit is planned in advance, especially in high season.
