Pieskowa Castle is a charming and beautifully restored historic site, offering stunning architecture and a picturesque setting. While it is indeed a lovely spot to visit, the number of exhibits and activities inside the castle is somewhat limited, so it might feel a bit underwhelming for those looking for a more interactive experience. However, the serene atmosphere and the surrounding landscape make it an excellent place for a leisurely stroll. On the plus side, the on-site restaurant is exceptional, offering delicious food and a great place to relax after exploring the grounds. All in all, it’s worth a visit, especially for history buffs or those who appreciate a peaceful and scenic day trip.

It was a fun experience. It would have been better if we could have taken an English tour, but we still had a good time poking around on our own. We also explored the surrounding area and saw a few monuments on the way back to the car. We also ate at the restaurant and it was fantastic!

I enjoyed this castle and its museum even more than Wawel. It’s less crowded, offers a relaxed self-guided tour, and features fascinating artifacts, including period wardrobes and furniture. Surrounded by forested hills, the scenery is especially beautiful in the fall.

Not as much things as I expected to see. Most of the exhibits were not used or appeared during the time. After visiting, I am kind of confused. Maybe following with a guide would be better to know the history of this place.

Interesting castle and good guide, however the object is not accessible by elderly or disabled people due to very steep location and no lift, there's no public transport, paid parkings are terrible (there are ticket machines that won't work), no cellular coverage, and no WiFi available to visitors. We drove 100km just experience the same issues others did...

If you are a foreigner, take note that there are only tours in Polish are available and no audio guides are available. Also, if you arrive at 9:15am when the castle opens, the exhibition rooms only open at 10am. Same thing with the toilet. Personally, I am underwhelmed by the castle. It's small, poorly managed and the exhibition rooms are tiny. There's not much to see. If you are looking for a castle close to Krakow to visit, Wisnicz castle is cheaper, grander and much better organised.

A lot of activities to learn about the history of Pieskowa Skała , it's architecture, art, and more. Zamek Pieskowa Skała is located in the beatifull surrondings of Jura Krakowsko Częstochowska, only 40 minutes drive by car from Krakow.

Incredible castle ruins on top of a hill, with panoramic views of the surrounding forests! I came here for the Percival concert (Witcher) and it was an amazing medieval ambience.

Amazing medieval castle with lots of history and additional attractions. Great place to visit for families with children. Plenty of places to eat and park. Highly recommended.

Real gem. The castle is extraordinary and really recommend to visit. If you want to go inside - be advised - it has steep stairs and one steep ladder to one of the towers. Also, nice walk around outside the castle.

The 16th century fortress in Jura region. On the holiday during summer season, the medieval knights show is held. That was good for kids.

When you first set sight on the castle, you'll immediately be impressed. You'll want to keep looking at it because it's just that beautiful. Then your attention is rerouted by the endless amount of people in yellow vests trying to get you to park in their parking lots. Some even wave glowsticks around. I can't blame the locals for wanting to earn a quick buck off tourists, but it was certainly a bit strange. Some of them even opened up their backyards for parking. We eventually entered a parking lot where we had to pay 5 EUR or 20 PLN, but I can imagine that the price varies per lot. We got out and headed towards the castle, but along the route there was a guy in an ice cream van saying something to us. Now, I don't speak Polish, but my limited knowledge of Czech has allowed me to understand a decent amount of what people are saying. This time, however, he said something that in Czech would translate to pigs, so I can imagine his confusion when I pulled a very confused face after his little sales talk. Anyways, we went further along the path before we were bombarded with stalls on either side of the road. Again, I can't blame locals for trying to earn some money, but I do have to wonder why 1 medieval castle should need around 5 ice cream vans, several stalls selling the same plushies and toys and multiple stalls selling food and drinks. One of them even sold toy machine guns, which is quite odd when you're visiting a medieval castle, where the best gun you were gonna get would only fire a single shot and most likely miss the target, if not blow up into your face. Anyways, we finally got to the ticket office, where there was a small queue but nothing too bad. We went up into the castle area and this was absolutely beautiful. The castle itself had a few shops, but the main event was ofcourse the castle itself. The route was clearly indicated, and took you along almost every inch of the castle. The stairs up to the tower were a bit crowded, but nothing you can really do about that. There were a few little rooms that showcased stuff, including a room dedicated to the Witcher with a very nice replica of his silver sword, if I'm correct in that. In another room there was a canon from the 1700's, which seemed to me to be able to still fire, but I wouldn't recommend firing such an old weapon, lest it blow up in your face. The castle itself is located on a rocky area, which the castle accentuates brilliantly. Even though the castle isn't that large, it seems like it is due to the terrain. Some parts of the castle were lost unfortunately, I would have liked to see a restored version of this castle, I reckon it would have been beautiful if done right. Right now, you can see they "restored" certain small areas with bricks, which I don't think is very historically accurate but I could be wrong in that. A lot of the stairs in the castle have been replaced with concrete or metal ones, which is fair seeing the horrible state of the one staircase they kept in place. When leaving the main castle, the larger area still surrounded by walls is also something you should look at. It features a beautiful rock formation and an old torture chamber. I would take the things on display there with a grain of salt though, seeing there's an iron maiden in this room which they tried to pass off as historically accurate, even though it was only invented in the victorian age, much later than the medieval era. Still, I'm no expert in medieval torture methods so maybe the rest all checks out. When we eventually left the castle, the queue for tickets was way longer. It seemed we had evaded the busy hours, fortunately. Also, before I forget, dogs are allowed to enter the castle, so bring them along if you want. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend you to visit this wonderful place, but it definitely gets one fewer star because of the exceptionally touristy area centered around it.

I was expecting little because it all looks in ruins (in pictures) but once you are there physically you'll be amazed. Also, The Witcher (Netflix) filmed here.

Beautiful place. Felt like I walked into history with the festival vibes around.

Overpriced, extremely over priced over-rated, poor quality This review applies to both Mirów & Bobolice Castles, visited Saturday 2nd November 2024 Firstly, don't bother, don't waste your time. You can see all you need to see from outside the walls, there isn't much else in the grounds or actually inside the castles. Secondly. How did national ancient monuments come to be sold to a private buyer who now makes a profit from them, ...only in Poland. The entrance fee to the grounds is extortionate, hence not advertised on the websites, also there are aditional fees for entrance to the inside of the castles, extortionate again as there is nothing to see. In Bobolice if you want to go to the restaurant, you have to pay the entrance fee to the grounds of the castle.

Nice place. You can see some old stuff inside the castle. It's worth the visit. I love it.

Beautiful place and beautiful surroundings. The exposition inside is pretty small. You have 30 mins to visit, which is enough. It is not very "historic" inside, but still nice to see. There is forest around with really nice tracks to walk in a good weather.

One of the best looking castles I have ever seen. I am all for these types of renovations rather than just preserving the ruins.

Amazing castle Unfortunately employees are very rude. Especially the lady at the hotel reception. I asked her to show me the room to see if I like it or not, I wanted to find accomodation in the region. Price of 390 zlot seemed good to me, but when I asked her 2 show me she said ' I won' t show it to you'. Very disrespectful attitude. If this didnt happen, the castle is amazing.

Awesome place to see! The inside of the castle is great! Beautiful surround area. Worth the out of the way drive.

Great place to visit. The castle was restored almost completely by the new owner over the last 15 years. Tremendous job. The castle offers would wonderful views of the Jura. One can see the Mirow castle nearby. It's another great castle. Follow the red trail to get there from Bobolice. The hike takes 20 minutes.

What is there not to like about this place, the home of our greatest ever Pope, absolutely fantastic museum about his life, and especially about his childhood... Prices to get in our rediculously cheap and it's all translated for you via a translator machine you wear around your neck.... To top it off the square it's located in is full of wonderful places to eat once you have finished your visit

Beautifully done museum that honors the incredible life of Pope John Paul II. Walking through his family home is both moving and humbling. A must-visit if you’re in Wadowice—he truly was an amazing man

one of my fav museums ever, many inspiring stories & items of pope john paul II. it was much bigger than i thought, and it was organised really well. location was accessible from the train station as well. highly recommend the english audio guide, it was very informative! pray for us st john paul II ! ❤️

What a delightful house, beautiful museum where you can still feel the spirit of St John Paul. I would love to visit again

I came late to the door so was the last to go round the muzeum. It was a shame since they had closed down the multimedia elements of the museum. Exhibits give a good flavour of JPII his life, times and achievements.

Visiting the hometown and the home of St John Paul II was a dream come true as Catholics. My husband and I learned so much about the late pope’s life which was built around Wadowice and enriched by the loving and faithful family he had. The museum was nicely organized. I could have given 5 stars if only we did not encounter some bombastic staff inside especially considering that they are supposedly helping visitors in a place where a great pope and now saint once lived.

Very big and interesting. Such a beautiful museum. They gave us headphones and a small radio so we could understand more about the Pope's life and childhood. As in prices very cheap and worth visiting.

Amazing theme park chock full of incredible roller coasters, Zadra being immense - ride it in the dark which elevates it to an entirely new level. Great value for money , ample car parking, tge park was fresh and clean. A great experience

I visited Energylandia because I was curious about the largest amusement park located near Slovakia. And I must say that I was satisfied. And that was right from the moment I parked my car, which I parked in a huge parking lot located right next to the amusement park. I must note that even though the ticket price is not the lowest, parking is paid separately (7 €/day). The amusement park premises are beautiful, decorated, pleasant movie music plays everywhere and you feel like you are in a fairy tale. There are many shops, restaurants and vending machines. Given that Energylandia has chosen a policy in the style of "buy a full-day ticket and all attractions are included in the price", it is logical that there are queues for each attraction - from 10 to 60 minutes (depending on what day / period you visit Energylandia). One ride lasts about 30 to 90 seconds. However, many of them are worth waiting for, as they offer maximum experience and adrenaline (e.g. speed of 144 km/h or overload up to 4G). You can watch the waiting time on several screens in the park or you can download their mobile application. A practical service is renting boxes to put things away (because you can't wear a cap/glasses/bag, etc. while riding). All you need to do is buy a bracelet (approx. €4), using which you can then always open one box at each attraction. Energylandia really offers an experience for people who like speed and adrenaline. They just have to wait for it :) I definitely recommend it.

The biggest amusement park in Poland! Lots of different rollercoasters, including extremely scary and more simple of kids and family. It's worth to spend there the whole day, they have everything you need. Very convenient system of storage boxes, you buy once for 17zl and can reuse it near every rollercoaster endless time. Also train station is very close, you can get by train from Krakow glowny within 1 hour for 12 zl, train goes every hour.

Amazing roller coaster ride! 🎢 The thrill, speed, and twists were incredible — pure adrenaline from start to finish. I couldn’t stop smiling the whole time! Definitely an unforgettable experience!

Without a doubt the best theme park I’ve ever been too, had a lot of fun! Rides are amazing. Something does need to be done about line cutters, did have a bunch of kids jump in line on Mayan by jumping over the wall. Overall an incredibly pleasant experience, everything’s is reasonably well priced and affordable.

This park is awesome! I love their locker system here, it’s very convenient and easy to use. They have lockers almost at every single ride so you can put your backpack or bag in there hassle free! The rollercoasters here are amazing. This park is better than the Six Flags parks I’ve been to. I recommend :)

The amusement park is really big. Next time we will definitely buy the multiple day ticket. We went on Saturday so it was packed. We chose a day that was super hot, but they had stations with water sprayers so that was nice. Waiting time were quite long which we expected as we went on a weekend. Other than that it was great! Even the water park for the kids! Highly recommend to check out this park!

A heathen here. A pretty magnificent church. Our tour uses a local tour guide who takes us through the church while the Mass is in progress. He's also very thorough with the small museum. The church is dedicated to Black Madonna (the Virgin Mary), mother of Jesus. Reportedly, she possessed extraordinary power.

I love this place a lot. As soon as you walk through the gates it feels like you enter a little village on its own!!! It's a really peaceful and sacred place. I can only recommend ^^

Gorgeous buildings and surroundings. We were lucky enough to be there while mass was on. The sound of singing fills the place with reverie. There are multiple areas of the compound that are well worth a visit.

Wonderful shrine, a must-see while around Krakow. The icone of our Lady, the beautiful church, a very interesting treasury and museum, and breathtaking view at the top of the tower, all these make this place a magical one.

My visit to Jasna Góra immediately gave me a sense of falseness and incoherence. The sanctuary presents itself as a place of humility, compassion, and deep spirituality, yet the atmosphere felt strangely performative, almost staged. The devotion is grand, but the emotional tone is rigid — more about preserving an image than expressing genuine faith. What impressed me most was the strong contrast between the values celebrated inside the sanctuary and the social attitudes often seen outside of it. Poland proudly defines itself as a deeply Catholic nation, yet frequently promotes restrictive and exclusionary positions toward migrants, diversity, and LGBTQ+ people. This tension becomes glaring when compared to the very teachings the sanctuary claims to elevate. Below are some of the biblical passages that highlight this contradiction: Hebrews 13:2 “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.” Galatians 3:28 “There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” Mark 12:31 “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God.” Seen through this lens, Jasna Góra becomes a symbol of a broader national paradox: a powerful religious identity that often seems disconnected from the empathy, openness, and inclusion that the Gospel itself demands. Instead of spiritual harmony, the visit raises difficult questions about the gap between religious image and social reality.

A beautiful and spiritual place with incredible history. The monastery is impressive, peaceful, and filled with meaning. A must-visit when in Częstochowa.

This is considered to be a sacred place with a miracle-making icon. This historical place is visited by the Pope, too. The architecture with inside decoration of the churches is beautiful! The entrance is free. There is a large parking behind the cathedral complex. Many pilgrims come here every year.

We had a very peaceful and pleasant time exploring the small but informative Jewish museum. After the 1000s at Auschwitz, this was very peaceful and reflective. In fact we were the only ones there. Highly recommended to have another view.

This museum was an absolute delight to visit. What really stood out, was the staff—friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. They made the experience even more enjoyable with their helpful insights and warm hospitality. The exhibit left a mark on me with its images or Jewish heritage and struggle and you could see through the organization this museum is passionate in educating its visitors. I definitely wish to return

A must-visit when in Oświęcim or Auschwitz. The staff – likely volunteers – are kind, helpful, and well-informed about the museum and its history. What makes this place especially moving are the personal stories connected to the photos and artifacts. It's not just history – it's human tragedy, respectfully presented. The museum’s free app, Oshpitzin, is excellent. You can download it from Google Play or the Apple App Store. It offers both insights into the Jewish history of Oświęcim and a virtual city tour. Everything is thoughtfully curated – simple, but powerful. Highly recommended: visit the museum and use the app, whether before, during, or after your stay.

As someone whose grandfather was born in Oswiecim, I thought they did a really great job in preserving this community’s memory and honoring it. I’d recommend, if you can, to ask for the keys to the cemetery and go visit there as well, also a very powerful experience

I visited the museum and synagogue of Oświęcim right after visiting Auschwitz. I received a guided tour by a museum employee name Lily who was knowledgable and adorable. Lily walked us through the different exhibitions and helped bring back to life the Oświęcim before WWII. The visit in the museum and synagogue was educating and even uplifting, in a sense that while the residents of Oświęcim may be gone, the Jews and the people of Israel and the spirit is still alive. Am Israel Chai!

Very interesting museum and a lovely tour done by a German Social Volunteer. English, German and Polish tours possible. Visit to the Old Synagogue is also nice and Jewish groups are able to hold a prayer with the old Thora. Beautiful, even though equipped with replicas. Very well worth a visit but don't expect much information on World War II. It's about Jewish life in the city.

A fitting end to a day after visiting Auschwitz-Birkenau, was to visit this small simple carefully curated museum. It is in the Old Synagogue of Oswiecim and it contextualises what was once a thriving Jewish community with artefacts, personal stories and photographs. A wonderful calming visit with a good instruction and welcome from Dr Artur Szyndler, a historian and curator. Delicious bagels in the small cafe helped to provide some sustenance on a long hot and moving evocative day.

Was a somber experience being in a place of death and torture, especially for my family members who endured this egregiously harsh and inhumane reality during WWII. We were never told to purchase tickets in advance so the museum was booked solid when we drove 3.5 hours from Warsaw to visit. The new Israeli owners, as crazy as it seems, have made it more difficult to gain entry with a walk in. We are able to observe the outskirts which was just as surreal and contained some valuable informative sights to see.

Incredibly somber and emotional experience. Seeing the scale of what happened here is overwhelming. We visited on a nice sunny day, but I couldn’t help but feel what the conditions must have felt like for those held within the camp during the harsh polish winters. A must see for anyone to remind us of what happened and try to ensure it can never happen again.

A huge museum, which is being restored to this day and is still being preserved. Book the tour in advance because you can get alone and for free only after 15:00. We got a very nice girl guide, it was very interesting and pleasant to listen to. We visited both camps, the total tour took about 4 hours. This place is very atmospheric, creepy. It is obligatory for everyone to visit, you need to know and not forget the history so that there are no more such things.

Probably one of the most badly organised tourist destinations in the world ! Always wanted to visit but was very disappointed, the complete cluster fxxk of the main entry, the inability to secure private tickets in advance via a official site, this resulted in almost 45 min to wait in a outdoor line until we could get to the ticket office and then another 2 hour wait until our time slot to actually get through the gate. I'd gladly pay €5-10 for advance tickets if I could get a guaranteed time to get in when I arrive. Once in there was no real flow or direction of what to see or what order to see it in. The official map was about as much use as sand in a desert, honestly a 5 year old could have drawn a better plan. Inside large tour groups dominated all the various things to see and we were often barged out of the way or unable to pass them while they blocked doors or things to see. My impression of the place has been ruined by visiting it and then when coming out, they don't even have clear signage where to get public transport back or a covered bus stop. The urban planner / architect who designed the new entrance and coach part obviously never tried visiting as a tourist.

This is a very sad experience. But I do recommend everyone to visit once in a lifetime. I learnt about it in a history lesson, but seeing it for real was just something else. The scale of it is just mad. There was 2 camps, second camp had more than 300 buildings. They were killing almost 5k people a day, in a gas chamber they fit 700 people at a time 😮 Its just crazy to see all the shoes of people who died there. And crazy to see the gas chamber. We all need to see the scale of it and learn from it so the history wont repeat itself... In the second camp, last building we entered was the barrack of ill women, it was called the death barrack, all of them were ill or unable to work, they were getting no food or water and if the barrack was full they were made to stay outside in a yard and wait to be taken to the gas chamber. Most of them died there in a barrack. It's so cruel. The free car park not in use. All car parks around is approx 30zloty. There is massive queue to get it, takes forever due to amount of people visiting. To get in need to go thru security like in the airport. Then there is audio tour. Our guide was not great, was hard to hear her as she didnt hold microphone properly. Was way too many people and very long backlog so we skipped quite few barracks. Once we got to second camp by bus our tour guide didnt wait for everyone so we got lost. Not very well organised tbh. After 1pm most days can visit camps without tour guides and it is free. This place would give chills to everyone.

Powerful to say the least! This was part of my bucket list of places to visit and WOW it did not disappoint. Moving does not do this place justice, understanding what the Jews, gypsies and other minorities went through during the Second World War, you can watch as many documentaries as you like but actually walking in their footsteps really does bring it home…..Unforgettable

One of the must see place if you are nearby. A piece of the most terrible european history, which shouldn't be forgotten. Very impressive. Get your ticket in advance on the web, as you can get guider in your language.

Nice biking spot though not for the faint of heart!

Super

Ok but busy busy at weekends

Lovely will be back

Perfect

Super

Super hill

The most perfect place for a really good gastronomy experience! The staff is so friendly and helpfull, and the exhibition just WOOW. It’s an interactive exhibition, also in english language, and you can ask for an audio guide. The ticket price contains a mug of beer (alcohol or free), what you can taste in the end of the exhibition. After the pub, you can find a museum shop where you can buy memories from this great place!

Great museum - well thought out and very interactive - the highlight is getting the beer at the end - staff very knowledgeable and friendly - helpful too. Definitely worth a visit

It is worth the time to visit this beer museum. Some Helpful hints for your visit. 1. Google maps will take you to the center entrance but there is on a couple of places to park. I would go to next parking lot about 50m down the road and park there plus there is another entrance right off that parking lot taking you right to where you pay for tickets. 2. You pay for tickets and you get a alcoholic or non-alcoholic drink included. To your left of where you pay is a place to store your jackets 🧥 and they are a decent size. 3. Don't make the same mistake I did. When you face the storage lockers go left not right. If you go right that takes you to free drink and museum store. 4. This museum is modern and interactive. There are many displays that are interactive. One area has an antique bowling alley which was pretty cool to play. 5. Overall great experience and i put many pics in this review to give you an idea of what to expect.

Magnificent experience, perfect museum and great brewery experts inside.

A must visit place if in the area ! The museum is amazing ,the narrator is explaining every detail … The set up and presentations are done in a very modern way to keep the attention to the very end ! The tour finished with a beer taste ,there is an option for zero alcohol for drivers ! Well done !

Great tour in English. The tour guide was very good. Loved the interactive experience that takes you back in time and on a journey of making Żywiec beer and the history of the town and the brewery. Limited parking

11.5.2019 architecture nice,but about organisation not impressed....without reservation upfront not possible to get anything but a tour in polish,no individual visit possible.Comparably small souvenirshop,parking guidance zero,had even no motivation anymore to test the restaurant-compared with Tyskie,Lvivske,Pilsner Urquell,Budweiser etc very poor,not even to mention Heineken or Carlsberg... 15.8.2025 museum closed at dayoff....and social media team is not able to write this at google maps and even at the own homepage....

This is a collection of buildings with a wide variety of exhibits. There are large collections of modern art on display in several of them. In the main building there are some extremely impressive exhibits, taking you through the history of Silesia, it's people and it's culture. There is one building which retains the original steam powered winding wheel, which unfortunately no longer seems to work. The huge shaft winding tower was unfortunately closed for rehabilitation when we visited (August 2025) - it would be a great viewing platform if it was open. A lot of the open spaces were closed of for repairs, but it still a nice area to walk around. Definitely worth a visit for the impressive history exhibits, or if you like modern art.

Very modern museum with a lot of interesting facts about the history of Silesia. The design of the indoor area is pretty cool. Whilest my visit the entry was free, but I think, it was only at this day. Unfortunately you can't visit the exhibition in the area on the outside at the moment.

Worth a visit. A modern art museum which is accessible to most tastes and preferences coupled to a very detailed and immersive presentation of the history of Silesia. Located in a large park with old mining buildings. Most of the park was closed due to construction works, at the time of my visit.

Amazing museum with very cheap tickets. There are many exhibitions in different buildings so there is a lot to see and at least 2 hours to spend. The best was the history of Silesia. Everything is labeled in PL/DE/ENG 👍 Definitely worth a visit

The Silesian Museum in Katowice is impressive not only for its striking underground architecture but also for its outstanding art collections. The galleries of Polish painting from the 19th and 20th centuries are beautifully curated, showing both classics and modern works. It’s a perfect place for anyone who loves art and history.

We visited on Friday, there was no queue. The lady on reception spoke excellent English. I've never been through metal detectors going into a place like this before. It was very different to what we were expecting. The site is an old mine that has been turned into an art house. There is a section of the site dedicated to the first and second world wars. The gallery spaces are large and the art fits in the spaces comfortably. There is a small shop on site with the usual range of souvenirs and snacks.

One of the best museums we have visited yet! Still in the development phase but absolutely fantastic when finished...

That moment when a private garden is significantly better than a botanical garden. A large and open-to-all private garden with a maze, lots of greenery, and pieces of nature from different parts of the world. The garden is beautiful in any season. And yes, there is a plant shop.

Really liked this place. Of course we were lucky with the weather and the bright colors and greenery were amazing! There are a lot of plant species, everything is stylized and zoned. I recommend visiting in spring/summer in sunny weather :)

Admission is free. It's a wonderful place. Lots of benches. I think it's a must-see. The walk takes about 2-3 hours, but you could easily spend a whole day here.

A totally different gardening services and shopping area! I could recommend it to anyone not just for shopping but for relaxing, foto sessions,kids party, outdoor gardening enthusiasts and even for those who reminds old tools and house life. Thanks Those keeping this absolute special Place for quite many years!

A great place where you can spend time in the bosom of nature. Everyone will find an attraction for themselves. We were there for the second time and once again we enjoyed the wonderful gardens. I highly recommend.

Great place, a lot of work put into maintaining it and it shows. Allow at least 2 hours for the visit. Garden Centre with a wide variety of items for sale available. There is a restaurant and children's playground as well. Entry to the garden is free as well as parking spaces which are a plenty. Recommended.

We stopped there while we were driving to Bielsko-Biała. At first having a lunch was fun, they have a good restaurants on-site. And backdoor of them open to this wonderful garden.

A worthwhile palace to visit. I expected a bit more, but overall it's an interesting place with an armoury (additional ticket required), paintings, fireplaces, furniture and a number of well-preserved rooms. Some corridors are closed, which was a bit of a disappointment, but overall if you're nearby there it's worth a visit, which will take you just over an hour.

We visited Pałac w Pszczynie as a family group (2 adults, 1 senior, and 4 children) and had a lovely time exploring this beautiful historic site. You can purchase tickets at the gate close to the main Square of the city or inside the castle there is a ticket machine too. A nice lady in the office offered us the best price for us with discounts for big family card holders and for seniors etc. The palace itself is truly impressive – well-preserved interiors, rich in history and beautifully furnished. Walking through the elegant rooms felt like stepping back in time. We admired the grand staircase, chandeliers, and antique furniture. There are informative signs in each room, although younger kids might benefit from a interactive exhibit to keep them interested longer. The palace is surrounded by a lovely park, perfect for a relaxing walk or picnic after touring the interiors. Overall rating: 5/5 stars – a must-see attraction in Pszczyna.

Pszczyna Castle is the most prominent noble residence in Silesia. Today, the castle serves as a museum and has served as the residence of Polish and German nobles for centuries. Admission to the museum is free on Tuesdays, so there may be a queue at the door. The museum displays personal belongings of the German noble family that was the last owner of the castle. It took us 40 minutes to tour the museum.

Really posh and nicely decorated palace! It has several floors, and there is an elevator for people with special needs, but not everywhere. The are extra expos inside for extra pay too (like weapons or paintings). It will take at least 1 hour or 2 to visit! There is lots of authentic furniture and decor items. All in all it's worth taking time to explore it inside! And outside there is a large palace park to visit (it's free). There's no parking by the palace, just use some of the city parking spots.

Museum itself little small, only few rooms. There are interesting displays in the basement and exhibitions on the second floor, but with additional fee. Also audio guide is not included in the ticket. Around the palace, there is a very nice park to walk and relax. Free Tuesdays.

15.8.2025 top reconstruction,52 PLN incl top audioguide but without galery and armory.For me one level smaller than Potockis Lancut,but due to presence of Wilhelm2 during WW1 this place wrote history....

Such beautiful place, absolutely breathtaking.

If you ask me to name the most interesting museum (and believe me, I have visited many), then the Guido mine is still far ahead.⚒️ Let's start from the beginning, the mine itself stopped mining relatively recently, so the entire environment is as authentic as possible! Next, where else can you go down 300 meters underground?! The guides tell you about the history of coal mining with interest, so you will definitely not be bored. The lack of interactivity is more than compensated for by the uniqueness of the place, a ride on a mine train, the deepest bar🍺 in Europe with delicious beer, and for the most extreme, the opportunity to feel like a miner and try to mine coal with your own hands. I could go on and on, but why bother - just buy a ticket and visit this place. Or better yet, visit the adit and go rafting on the underground river. I do not regret a single penny spent!

This is one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! Fantastic guide, very informative, and truly unique. I consider this a must-do if you’re in the area! I will visit again in the future!

One of the deepest mines in Europe. Inside, the tour guide explains very interestingly, so you don't know how the tour is going. The mining museum presents very interesting information about both past and modern copper mining. Also, at the end of the tour, you have the opportunity to have a drink in the underground coffee shop.

Amazing experience! You can learn a lot about Silesia and coal mains. The guide makes sure that the tour is interesting. And at the end you need to try the black bread! Highly recommended

Perfection no more no less. Only one place like this in Europe. You going down 355 metres under ground. Unforgettable memories. Krzysztof explained everything with singe details it's amazing person. Best Regards

Good storytelling inside, atmospheric place. Very good place to spend a day. Guide is like 2 hours, but there is restaurant under the ground as well

🚨THE BOAT-TOUR DOES NOT START HERE. The starting point of the BOAT-TOUR is a different location with 25 mins away on foot. ✅ 2hours walking tour in coal mines in English or German. The tour guide was clearly explained. ✅ The real operations of grinding machine can be seen on-site. ✅ Enjoying riding on the electric powered mine-cart for short minutes. ✅ You'll learn and use mining workers ' greeting. "Szczęśc Boże! (God bless you)". ✅ Toilets and pubs are placed at the end of the touring place. ❌ The receptionist guided wrongly for waiting place for the boat tour even though I arrived one-hour before the tour started. I was told by the receptionist," if any claims, send an email on the website."

Lovely little animal park. It sort of comes as a surprise to find an alpaca walking on the road alongside you. GREAT collection of owls but their enclosures are small enough to make you kind of go "Oh, poor thing." But the falconer show is well worth the visit! Those guys are good, even though they couldn't get the eagle out for the kids this time. So it goes. Big playground but some bits are paid and the carnies there are a little slimy, but they give the kids lots of time on the trampoline. The restaurant up top is very Polish in that they have a lovely large menu posted outside that you spend twenty minutes staring at and deciding then go in and they say "We have two things, everything else no." Seems to be a theme around these parts. But the řizek was good and the fries were really good. My wife also praised the coffee from the stand at the playground for actually serving a decent-sized coffee. You won't need the whole day here, but it is a nice way to spend a morning and lunch, especially if you have kids.

Great experience with my family even on a rainy day. The birds of pray show was breathtaking and the beautiful forrest animals we saw were already worth the ticket price. Additionally, the stuffed animal and antlers display was very informative and you can touch. Did not expect to see the racoons. :-) Other than that the carousels were dismantled in winter and the fairytale display a bit dated, but it gave us a laugh. We used up the whole bag of the feed purchased at the gate feeding some hungry deers. Warning: To get there you have to hike up along unpaved road, or find a parking spot, which due to the building site works are limited. Pro tip: Hotel Diament two streets below is a delicious gourmet spot for lunch/dinner afterwards.

Great place to spend a few hours, at a relatively reasonable price. Food was tasty at the cafe at the top. The deers were very friendly and lovely to feed and stroke. The bird show was decent. Plenty of free parking available.

Nice cheap day out for the family, two flying displays, owls and other birds of prey. Lots of animals running wild in the park, goats, deer and alpacas. A small amusement park in the summer with games for the kids and places to. Bar and hot food served at the top of the park all year around. Good wholesome day out feeding the goats and donkey.

There are a few animals, mostly owls and birds of prey in cages. You can touch and feed sikas and llamas if they are not overfed by crowds of people. If you have a stroller with little wheels, you are screwed as there are mostly gravel paths. In the centre there is a little amusement park for kids. For 12 euros/person you get very little. If you want to see a lot of animals in better conditions, make a trip to the Ostrava zoo which is a proper zoo for roughly half price.

We visited Leśny Park Niespodzianek a few days ago on a sunny day. The park was busy but not overcrowded. Unfortunately, the visit was very sad for me. Almost all of the animals looked bored and apathetic. The deer and alpacas roam freely and you can buy feed at the entrance, but it is a waste of money as the animals showed no interest at all. The enclosures in general are poorly designed and lack care. The worst were the wildcats: tiny, dirty cages, full of cobwebs, with no enrichment or places to hide. They were lying curled up on the bare ground. I have visited many wildlife parks in Germany, but I have never seen such poor conditions there. The raccoons were in a similar situation, kept in a small cage with no shelter and nothing to play with. I also felt very sorry for the beautiful birds of prey, kept in enclosures far too small for such large, majestic animals. In my opinion, the so-called Fairy Tale Alley with loud music does not belong in a place where wild animals live, since the noise must cause them additional stress. Our 3-year-old child enjoyed the playground, especially the large ball pit and the diggers. However, the alpacas have their food and water right in the middle of the playground and are constantly bothered by people. I even saw them being touched or hit by the swings while people were playing. The park is hardly accessible with a stroller, which was fine for us as we did not have one. The ticket price is far too high for just a few hours, especially when you see the poor condition of the animals. Conclusion: A place with huge potential that, sadly, is not being used. As long as the animals are kept in such conditions, I cannot and will not recommend this park.

a great place to spend time with your loved ones. the possibility of communing with animals of our Polish forests. animals have already become accustomed to visitors and, above all, to children. the part with birds and the show of flying predators deserve attention. for PLN 32 per person, you can spend a nice day. When choosing a place, remember a few important things: good, comfortable shoes, because walking is a lot steep and rocky. if you are going with small children do not take the pram. downside is the waiting time at the checkout. the owner should take care of more bandwidth. I highly recommend this place.

It was a cool place to visit

Absolutely amazing views . Once you are on the tower, you will have a 360 degree view. It takes your breath away .just stunning.

Love it!

Amazing chair lift up the mountain to lots of facilities and a great walk up to the summit. Lots of mountain biking routes too.

Nice nature, good place for turists, on top of cantoria is fast food, where is possible to pay in Czech crown and Poland zloty. Great :)

Super

Super

Okay, so we just expected "some palms in a glasshouse" and in fact, that is what it was... But, the flora here is really impressive, the place is wonderfully taken care of, the added fauna adds wonderfully to the entire experience (especially the aquarium section at the end) and all this at a very fair price. Some more info boards would've made this a bit more educationally valuable, but already as it is, it's a lovely nature-exploring experience.

Not very large, however a pleasant place with (not only) old palms, tropical flora and a few aquariums (piranhas included). Very reasonable price (20 zl adult).

Amazing place. Really worth to visit

This is a truly incredible destination! The atmosphere is vibrant and unique, offering more than just a beautiful botanical display—it's a living ecosystem where you can discover both plants and animals. It's a fantastic and engaging place for families. Kids will love the "explorer" program: pick up a passport at the entrance, collect stamps during your visit, and get promoted to an official explorer!

Awesome place to visit during winter. Temperature of this place has been well maintained to help plants and animals live in harsh cold of Poland. I would recommend this place to plants and aquarium lovers. There are smallest to largest fishes. I would love to visit again as there are plants which grows in only certain temperature and climate. Well maintained but should have been well exhibited as the details or name of the species is in polish and would be difficult for a foreigner to understand.

Awesome place to have time with kids, lots of check points for kids map, exotic insects, reptiles and parrots. Also they've got a hall with aquariums! Cafe with ice cream and cakes. Lovely photozones, we saw wedding fotosets there.

One of my favourite place Not too big, compact, well designed Not only plants itself but also point of view Joy of walking, watching, breathing (unfortunately during the Covid-19, not 100%)

We stayed over 6 hours in the park and still did not see a part of it! Kids and ourselves loved it, it's a unique experience. Definitely recommend it.

Excellent experience. Staff was very helpful and the whole atmosphere, availability of attractions etc was amazing. Beautiful place. You can easily spend there whole day considering how many attractions are there. Strongly recommended . I will come back again :)

It's amazing! Great place for kids and adults. All attractions are included in the ticket. Kids will have fun all day long

It wasn't really what my kids were expecting. My 11 year old wanted to ride more dinosaurs. My 8 year old wanted to interact with the dinos and not just look at them. The rides weren't even dinosaur themed. Food was ok. We ate outside where wasps were pretty much swarming us half the time. The 4d attractions were neat, not too much for those of us who tend to get queasy. We were there for the night on a Sunday, and once the park closed, we had a hard time finding a place to eat. Only a pizza place was open past 8, and the wait for delivery was an hour and a half at that point. Our over night accommodations were in the human evolution building. The common areas were very dark, and the entire decor was futuristic, blocky and uninviting. We stayed in the bronchiasaurus room, which housed 16 bunk beds and a private rest room with 2 each: sons, toilets, showers. There was a hair dryer and body wash/shampoo in the showers. Towels were provided. The windows all had screens to keep bugs out, which is rare here. The staff were accommodating with breakfast. We had to be on the road before their normal breakfast time started, so they prepared us sandwiches and packed them in a large bag and stored them for us in the common area kitchenette. A unique feature was the active dig site and being able to see authentic fossils. We did manage to get lost trying to find the dinos as we didn't expect the huge play ground and all the rides. There's also a beach on a lake. Lots of activities available. My kids enjoyed the giant trampoline. There's also an upside down house diagonal from the human evolution building you can go into for a little extra (36 pln for a family of 2 adults & 2 kids). We didn't use it, but there's ample camp grounds as well.

Very nice place to enjoy with kids. On sunday it was not crowded, a huge territory with lot of things to do and it was fun for kids and interesting for adults as well.

A great fun place for all the family. Lots to do for any age.. The food is petty decent too. There is a great variety of fun, with enough space to accommodate everything. Interesting interactive surprises. A very clever way to do it right. Been a number of times and always enjoy it. Downside is not enough staff, so beverage areas were closed and long queues. You must do the train ride!!

Mobile internet quality is very low. But other entertainment is quite good. Children were happy.

....one of the best we visited!! No problem with parking (free), ticket machines (no need to wait in queue)...

There are a variety of wild animals to see here. The enclosures are very large and offer the animals plenty of activities and space. A very nice family zoo, the seals have plenty of action! A really nice zoo!

amazing zoo no comments... . beautiful fish tanks, food service inside for kids & adults. need minimum 3 hours for visiting

Very nice, not very big ZOO. We saw couple feedings and trainings. Parking close by for fee, the one across the bridge is free.

This zoo is beautiful and big. There is English posting for names and much information in Polish that can be translated with Lens. The ice cream was delicious and very clean place. We spent over two hours and could have spent even more time there. I think we walked nearly 10km during the visit. It is one of my favorites

Even better zoo than I imagined. You can see the animals really close. It's really modern, clean, and has beautiful waterfalls and an overall vibe. We went on a rainy day, so there were almost no other visitors besides me and my girlfriend, which made it feel like a private tour. We were there for at least 2.5 hours and still didn't see everything that the zoo had to offer.

Really good experience, can’t complain really! Though it was sometimes hard to view the animals as the cage was very large compared to the number of animals with an outdoor and indoor section. Apart from that wear some good shoes as you’ll be walking for ages.

Beautiful Spa town in nice nature 😊

Beautiful place, I recommend to visit.

Town is very well taken care of. Easy to walk with toddler and stroller. Dogs are not allowed on colonnade. Dress nice and don't think ripped jeans are fine. Other visitors will give you dirty looks 😊 One disappointment was that most if not all restaurants/cafes closed at 6pm, which was weird for middle of summer.

Nice place, very calm, Coll coffees and bars alongside

So nice and peaceful place!

Love it !!! Spend so many evenings here, nice place for walk on summer days

beautiful spa colonnade. don’t forget to try warm spa wafer:)

A beautiful castle with amazing view from up , we went walking from Smraďavka and the way was interesting , it took around an hour and half , the only thing which made us upset that it's not allow to take ur pet with u inside

It's a beautiful tower but if you are with small kids you will not be allowed to go inside the castle as it's possible to do only with a guide in a group and kids can disturb people around. The area "outside" the castle is free to visit. It's really small but you will find a lot of corners for good photo shoot. Near the castle is a place for parking (free) and cafe with simple food. There you can pay ONLY with CASH!!! So take enough of cash money. The road from parking to castle is easy, so you can go there with kids for sure.

It was an amazing place to visit and the views from the lookout were just plain WOW! The guide was very informative and when they heard me speaking English, a person came to me and handed me a booklet in English. I was able to follow along with what was being said. The Castle is out of the way, but so worth visiting. I can't give it a full 5 stars because there are renovations underway and there was no gift shop or place to buy things. Definitely a place to return to.

Stunning castle and manor great tours and the groundshave so many different flora Have a coffee and pastry at the chocolate shoppe on the grounds The small village has good restaurants at great prices, as well as local pottery and other definate buys

It's a fine place to relax during long way to Slovakia. The main building if the castle is built in Spain style.

Castle is easy to access by car, parking cost 2 euros, than is line 5 min walk. You can have coffee at the premises, there is little art museum. Payment with credit card possible. Just 5 min from main road. Worth visit.

Buchlov Castle is located on a top of hill in Buchlov with an amazing view from the palace. This Castle is not that old but sill has lot of history and it is well preserved.

Disappointing: museum is miserable with some informations here and there. 1 rifle, 1 sword and you have it all... Who had the great idead to do renovation and close other parts during summer when tourists comes?! No english on boards so you have to walk with a notebook that gives you explaination it's the first time I see that and, come on, I visites museum all around the world...

Great history here. It was quite a detour for only a 60 mins visit, but worth it. I do recommend studying upfront what happened here to have a good understanding, else you might be disappointed. The museum is very simple, but had friendly staff, a small restaurant and doesn't cost much.

A very nice place for history lovers. If you know what the Battle of the Three Emperors was, you should definitely come here. And if you don't know — well, then you're a dummy and can just keep driving

At the time this review was written, construction was underway there. There is an opportunity to visit a small museum dedicated to Napoleon and the battle, there is a monument, before renovation, you could buy a ticket inside, but now there was no such opportunity. Overall beautiful and interesting

The monument is very beautiful. Be advised the museum is closed for renovations as of July 2025. They said it should reopen in the fall. There are several other smaller monuments scattered around the area, so take the time to check them out.

Nice memorial for the victims in Austerlitz battle, this was the center of battlefield with Russian and Austrian forces then passed on French side. There is a small museum with explanation.

Great presentation for a place with an amazing history.

Beautiful place. Unfortunately outside under renovation. I did 3 different tours. All guides talk Czech but you can get printed versions in other languages at the cashiers.

A wonderful castle in the Italian Renaissance style. included in the UNESCO heritage list. Currently undergoing active restoration. The rooms have been completely restored from the inside. Entry is strictly by ticket and at a certain time with a guide. The guide speaks only Czech but provides booklets in English, German and Polish

A beautiful place surrounded by gardens, quite photogenic and familiar. Easy to visit on your own and get to know the surroundings of the beautiful Czech city. 1 day would be enough to know the city unless you want to do some cultural activities.

Unfortunately there are restoration work as for March 2024, garden was closed as well. The tours operate as per schedule.

This castle is beautiful, figured on UNESCO list. Although it was closed due to some renovation, the park is beautiful. You need to see beautiful scraped walls and old-fashioned clock

Great castle to visit, it’s on UNESCO heritage list for Czech Republic. It’s free to enter and I was able to find free parking right next to it. I visited on a weekday.

The castle itself is closed during winter months, including the information center. The gardens are still open and for free from certain hour until certain hour. I recommend to check everything in advance, if it's important for you to see this UNESCO heritage castle. It seems that some public events are organized at the castle's buildings. Me and my friend ended up at astro-weekend spontaneously, since there was nothing else much to do during November.

Still enjoying the Winter hibernation, the chateau remembered from the kids card games did not let us reveal its interiors. The parks were closed as well, if it were not for the drone, one could have stood at the square wondering, what the hell... See you in summer!

I really loved the park, it is really nice to visit at this time of the year! But anytime really. I did not visit the inside of the castle but I heard its worth visiting

Beautiful very well preserved place. Guides talk only Czech however printed version in German English and Polish are available.

Very nice castle and area around. Reserve some time to walk around in the forest etc. Nice place for Sunday walk with family.

Great place to visit. Nice tour with a tour guide. Although a shame that foreign people (not Czech speaking) get only a shortened version of what is told by the tour guide. Would be nice if the whole story that is told by the tour guide would be translated on the paper that is handed out to foreign visitors.

Beautiful castle with a nice park.

Love this place! At the annual bird of prey hunt, this place becomes magical! I am impressed by its beautiful architecture and how people try to keep their history and traditions alive to this day! ❤️

Very beautiful castle with a very unique and interesting history. Sadly taking pictures inside is not permitted. The quality of the tour depends quite a lot on the guide you get. The hourly tour has to be purchased for 15€ in cash per person in order to enter the castle. Student discounts are not available.

What a stunning and fascinating castle! We loved the tour (it was both in English and German) and the guide was amazing! The castle itself is beautiful and you can walk all around it from the outside which is fun with kids as there is a perfect path through the bushes / trees. No photos are allowed inside the actual castle but you can take photos of the outdoor area / garden area. They also offer an eagle show which you have to pay extra for and is right next door to the castle. Definitely worth a visit!!!

Nice historic castle. It's worth visiting. However, there's not much to do there. Great for archeology, history and nature enthusiasts. Take food and drink with you. Athough there's a big enough bar up there, it can get too crowded sometimes.

It is amazing, I caught the last tour with a small group, the staff is very kind, and the story of the castle is very interesting.

You have to walk around with local guide. If you don't speak German, please ask for the translation paper. Walking around takes about 30-40mins. We got there at 11:30 and not realise that they won't open for the next slot until 12pm. The gate was closed and the restaurant outside was closed on Monday! Recommend you to call to check before attending.

Best medieval castle near Vienna. Lovely interior yard,big collection of medieval weapons.

Great sightseeing.. And amazing pub just across of it..

Nested in beautiful forest surrounded by rocks the castle is small yet treat to eye. There are several ways to reach. Best way is to follow the red trail where on the way a watch tower on rock crosses path. That trail is 3km from the trail head and not so difficult having best views inside the forest. The other way is quite shorter 2.5 km green trail but you will not see the watch tower on the way and it is mostly on a vehicle road which is not that interesting on summertime. The castle has small caffe inside and a mid sized restaurant outside serving soup fries tea coffee and food. Outside area is free to do more walk and cycling. Beautiful day out with kids.

Small, but beautiful castle located on top of the mountain. Easy access (10 minutes walking from the nearest parking, moderate elevation). There was a medieval show when we visited, apparently based on the Czech or region history - in Czech language. Grill and cafeteria at the castle only accept cache. Souvenirs store accepts cards.

The castle is very nice, some part much older than others, we didn’t take the tour and therefore couldn’t get into some rooms but it was still very nice!

Lovely castle! I can highly recommend the guided tour because you'll see places you're not normally allowed to go. Very friendly staff as well! And make sure to tip your tourguide for a job well done!

The new exhibition of the costumes for famous Czech fairytales is great. The young girl that was hosting the tour was fantastic, happy informative and entertaining for the small kids we were with. Definitely worth a visit

DO NOT LISTEN TO GOOGLE MAPS it claims you can drive to the castle and you CANNOT! it is merely a service road for the places up top and for hiking only. I ended up driving on the trail and looked like a complete A-hole, I’m surprised there is not a barricade at the trailhead to prevent clueless idiots like me from doing what I did. I’ve never been more embarrassed and felt like an idiotic tourist than this. The view and the castle are worth it though just learn from my mistake and don’t put so much stock in google maps

It's a very nice place to visit. The disappointing thing though (that is not specified and worth at least being mentioned) - the tickets are for guided (in Czech) and non-guided visits. The price for a visit without a guide (Vstupné bez průvodce ) - 90,- Kč for an adult. We did not speak Czech, so did not have reasons to join the guided groups (though difference was really minor, less than 1Eur - Vstupné s průvodcem plné 110,- Kč) 5 minutes later we found 2 sets of exhibitions (2 floors out of 4 available) were allowed for visiting by JUST guided groups. The guide we met explained "it's true and may be "unfair", but they still have a room for improvements". So, if you have plans to visit all available exhibitions of the castle, buy the ticket with a guidance in czech language. Also, enjoy the views)

Went there just for a walk in the garden surrounding the castle,it's expensive entry for just an hour&half ! It has many labyrinth & beautiful nature.Its good with kids of all ages.You can spend 4-5hrs here easily.I was not aware of castle converted into Suits &may be try next time!Try visiting Rozhledna hrubý Jeseník near by!

The castle is nice, and the exhibits are very accessible, but not more to mention. There is no English tour, which makes it a bit boring for non Czech speakers. The gardens are charming, and kids can spend a few hours easily running in and between the labyrinths.

The staff for the first few days were absolutely amazing. The children's room had a few hazards, which inevitably led to a girl splitting her head open on a table that didn't have the plastic covering on a metal end, some tables had the plastic while others didn't. The toy box had nails sticking out. When the girl split her head, they removed the hazards upon my wife's request. I was in the room playing with the kids when this happened. The staff, who hadn't been there yet this week, were unprofessional. Saying things like "if you have a personal problem you should go home" or "If they would've watched their kids this wouldn't have happened" A simple apology would've sufficed, but they tried to save face instead. They have since decided to close the children's area instead of making it safer. Before this with the staff previously, it was the best hotel service I'd experienced. The cleaning ladies, the kitchen ladies and people at the front were absolute angels to my children, prior to this. It seems to me it was upper management who were the rude ones. Regardless, due to regulations in Czech Republic, anything labeled as a children's area should be free of hazards and should be frequently inspected by staff. I had planned to come back next year and rent out a better room, but unless there is some type of apology, I will not be returning. This would've been a five start review before this experience. I hope they find some way to rectify this experience, I'd love to give them the opportunity to apologize and compensate for their rudeness. If they do act professional, I definately would change my review. As of now, I won't be returning annually as I had planned.

The light show was great 🙏🏻

It was such a great experience. We took "Christmas tree tour". It was entertaining, knowledgeable, great decorations in the rooms, the tour guide was to the point. Only one thing I would change is the number of guest in one tour, I would make a smaller group.The manor house is beautiful plus it has huge park with attractions for kids and adults. We will definitely come back.

Great place for families with children, they will enjoy themselves a lot. Many people today, cause it is czech national holiday. Restaurant is not so good, not so many choices and prices are little bit higher, but in limits :-)..

Great place to visit , though a bit expensive in season. The multiple labyrinths located around the château gardens keep kids occupied for a few hours. The inside of the château is also very nice and the Vtipna kase Cafe is cozy and has great food. In the winter, though, some of the labyrinths are not accessible.
