Tours at Nelahozeves Castle

Discover Nelahozeves Castle through tours that combine history, art, and unique experiences. Whether you prefer the leisurely pace of a standard castle tour or more adventurous routes leading to areas normally off-limits, you’re always guaranteed a unique glimpse into the life of an aristocratic family. Learn the castle’s story through the following tours: 

Tour of the castle exhibition with an audio guide: The audio guide lets you hear personal stories connected to the castle and the family that has owned it for centuries.

New tour: Secrets of the Cellar and the Attic: This tour takes you to places off the usual visitor route. To the cellars, service corridors, and up into the rafters under the roof. 

New children’s adventure: In Search of the Lost Treasure: An adventurous expedition into the depths of Nelahozeves Castle. In this scavenger hunt for children, you’ll head into the cellars, pass through secret staircases, and climb up to the rafters. This time, however, creative tasks await instead of a guided tour.

One of Bohemia’s finest Renaissance castles, this 16th-century estate is perched above the Vltava River, 35 km from Prague. It features a permanent exhibition, gift shop, festivals, event spaces, gardens and walking trails, and Italian-inspired architecture.

Food & Drink

Our Skála Bistro offers a wide selection of snacks and hot and cold beverages with outdoor seating. Enjoy a refreshing pint of draught beer or scoop of ice cream while taking in the breathtaking view of the castle and its verdant grounds.

This year, Skála is already fully up and running, and we have plenty of new things for you! You can now enjoy a tortilla with chicken strips, along with homemade lemonade flavored with strawberry, orange, or blackcurrant. If you’re in the mood for a beer, we’ve got the local Únětice. And for something refreshing, we also have real Italian gelato from La Panna.
