CASTLES AND CHATEAUX

Royal castles and chateaux, fortresses, forts, summer palaces in expansive landscaped parks – these are places where the past comes to life. Tours are livened up by guides in historical costume, period music and dance, swordsmen, and falconers.

There are over 2,000 castles, keeps, and castle ruins in Czechia, making it the castle capital of the world.
