Know more about your day trip
Karlstejn Castle is approximately 30-40 minutes from Prague by car, while Krivoklat Castle is about a 50-minute drive. The distance between the two castles is roughly 30 minutes, making them ideal to visit together on a single day trip.
Karlstejn Castle was built in 1348 by Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia, specifically to safeguard the imperial crown jewels and holy relics. Its strategic hilltop location and Gothic architecture make it one of the most recognizable castles in Central Europe.
Yes, both castles offer guided tours. At Karlstejn, several tour routes are available depending on your interests and available time. Krivoklat offers tours in English with informative booklets available for international visitors.
Karlstejn Castle offers the more dramatic exterior views perched majestically on a hill with excellent vantage points from the village below. Krivoklat provides unique photo opportunities of its Renaissance and Gothic elements in a charming woodland setting with fewer crowds.
Both castles require moderate walking on inclines and uneven surfaces. Karlstejn involves a 15-20 minute uphill walk from the village to reach the castle entrance. Krivoklat has fewer steep sections but still requires good mobility to navigate the castle grounds and interior stairs.
The ideal time to visit is April through October when both castles operate full schedules. September and early October offer pleasant weather with fewer tourists. Note that Krivoklat has limited winter opening hours primarily on weekends, while Karlstejn maintains more regular year-round operations.
Krivoklat Castle is nestled in the beautiful Krivoklat Protected Landscape Area surrounded by pristine forests and the Berounka River valley. This picturesque natural setting away from major tourist routes provides a more authentic and peaceful castle experience than many other popular destinations.
Yes, the village below Karlstejn offers restaurants, cafes, and souvenir shops along its main street. Near Krivoklat, you can visit the charming town of Beroun with its historic square or the Nizbor Glassworks factory, where you can observe traditional Czech crystal being made and purchase quality souvenirs.
