Nice castle and very nice view from the high tower

Nice castle ruin where has sense to go, accessable by car/ motorbike and 2 large parking places. Visiting time approx 1 hour is enought, you can step up on to tower, great countryside view. The recommendation is early visit, otherwise can be crowded by bus tours. Entrance approx 5€ per adult person.

Must see castle ruins. Lots of hidden rooms and stairs. Some exhibits are hard to find but interesting. Must climb to the roof for the best view in Czech Republic.

Has to be said that our visit to this castle was unplanned. With little knowledge this castle offers you good enough leaflets about the history, as well as providing information in a small museum within. Great 360 degrees views from the top. You don't need to leave your dog behind in the car and can bring it all the way into the highest tower.

Amazing for nature view.

One of the best preserved castle ruins in the country. The largest tower provides good views of the surrounding forests, well worth the 150ish steps up to the top. A selfguided tour allows you to take your time or race through and then relax in the moat/park and do come cross/bow shooting. Not sure if and how guided tours work. No refreshments were availble at the castle so get them at one of the 3 restaurants in the village just below before you go.

Beautiful preserved castle ruins. Awesome view of the lands surrounding. Always under the symbol of the rose.

Interesting stuff. Lovely space and the clockwork is amazing! The price on the other hand..not sure if it adequate, could be cheaper

Its an interesting building in a tower, three floors fairly small rooms over three floors. Random attractions from miniature sculptures to the largest items of clothing. Half an hour to 45 minutes of interest.

Great collection of the biggest, smallest, longest, most etc in one place. Definitely orthopedic visiting.

Interesting place full of fun facts and information

Does not worth the price. They show just few exhibits and rest is just photos or smaller replicas. Place is very small, freezing in winter, no rest rooms... Just walk around the city and you enjoy it much more!

Not very interesting. No toilet in the museum. And ticket price is very expensive if you consider what you got. (Same like UNESCO heritage Litomysl castle).

Most things useless in real life however love creativity and ideas on what can be considered as record and years of training to achieve..

Fantastic castle ruins! So far my favorite in the Czech Republic!

Beautiful historical place that is still being restored. Some parts are in ruins, but it’s very atmospheric and full of history. Entrance to the inner area is ticketed; groups are let in every 15 minutes with a short introduction by a guide, after which you can explore on your own. Highlights include a tall tower with great views, impressive underground areas, and even a historic well. Overall, a very interesting and worthwhile visit.

Gorgeous castle, with an amazing visiting experience. In the beginning you get a short introduction, then roam the site on your own, with boards with info everywhere. Really large, really well handled approach to its partial reconstruction.

One of the best castles from Czech Republic. Outstanding.

The main difference with the rest castles is that there's no tour. Rather that there is a short introduction and then you are free to explore is by yourself. The main tour us quite impressive with a good view. There are info tables so the curious ones will have a possibility to learn about its history. Moreover there are some old pictures how it looks like in 1876 before the fire. And visiting the dungeon is mandatory.

Beautiful castle with nice views of the surrounding fields. Easy walk up, suitable for anyone who can walk up a couple of flights of stairs. Recommend :)

What a beautiful place to visit! I have been there with my family & we've had a nice time. Castle is partially ruined, but it doesn't matter, it's wonderful one. Definitely worth the trip.

Worst guided tour ever. There are 15 people who speak English but the guide chose to speak Czech to the few other tourists and gave us text to read ourselves without even explaining which room is which. When I protested she said she only had 15 minutes so she’d rather speak her language. No star to this woman.

The chateau museum can be visited without a guide, but the rest is only accessible with a guided tour. At the time of the visit, all tours were in Czech.

A majestic castle with a beautiful courtyard right in the center of Telc town. As usual in Czech Republic the guide tour are in their language. At this castle the photography inside is prohibited.

Very beautiful place. Wonderful garden and surrounding. Only thing which we didn't like is different tickets to see museums in chateau. They could have created combined ticket with some reasonable rates. Overall Telč is beautiful.

I was there in summer such s beautiful place

Beautiful Chateau. Don't miss the observation tower near it.

Stunning experience! Reopen after long and expensive restoration and it's prime example of premium czech castle! Amazing interiors - each room felt like chest full of diamonds. Rich decorated and equipment interiors, unseen enywhere in world. I reccomend route 1 & 2, dungeon is not so interesting. Really must see for everyone.

We had a great time at the zoo. Lots of baby animals well cared for. My youngest daughter had a blast in a cold March day, with some snow on the ground. Weekdays the zoo is pretty empty. Highly recommended.

Very fun experience. You have to pay for parking, or you can park in a shopping mall nearby. The zoo itself is nice and clean, the reptie pavilion is by far the best I've seen in czechoslovakia, and there are little monkey roaming around you freely. There is not much wallking uphill, which is neat. Also, there are fun little activites for kids and many educational signs so you and your family learn along the way. I very much recommend visiting this zoo!

A very nice zoo, even in autumn a nice experience. Really huge step forward after 12 years since our last visit. Sloth in the pavilion was really amazing. Completely new experience.

Nice zoo, a bit older facilities and some parts less suitable for stroller, however, overall pleasant with a larger number of feline species to see that are not elsewhere or in smaller numbers. Suitable for children. Great reptile pavillion with many species of crocodiles, lizards, turtles, snakes, etc.

There is a lot to see in the zoo. The whole family can have a very nice time in the Zoo. It is possible to see the whole Zoo in 3 hours but if you take the time to explore you can spend a lot of rime there. We particulary enjoyed the eagle flights.

Very nice well maintained zoo in a beautiful area! Large variety of animals who seem to have plenty of space. The entry price is fair and parking is cheap. They have a poffertjes stand, you don’t see that much I really enjoyed it! They’re pushy about anti-smoking, outside of two designated zones. I encountered 0 smokers for the first time ever in a zoo.

REALLY AWSOME ZOO GARDEN IN CZECH REPUBLIC. GOOD WALK FOR ALL DAY WITH CHILDREN. YOU NAC FIND SOME RESTAURANTS HERE AND COFFEE BARS.

A sprawling château with beautifully restored interiors. High Victorian extravagance is the main theme, but also charming baroque rooms and an extraordinary set of rooms of stuffed animals at the end, birds, dogs, wild animals etc. The choice of the eccentric last owner. Well worth a visit

It is a very strange experience visiting this castle, the last owner had the mania of taxidermy all the living creatures from the region, as well as all the possible dogs, cats, squirrels, birds, mices. The road through the forest to the castle is very pleasant. There is a large lake and a campsite nearby.

We enjoyed this castle more than most that we visited in Czechia. Be sure to take the first tour, which shows you the last owner's bizarre collection of stuffed animals from all over the world, including stuffed dogs (see photos). Also there is a nice wine tasting place there. All in all, very enjoyable. We took a boat trip from Vranov, which was very nice. But you can also drive there directly.

Regardless of hours shown in Google, website indicates in October, only open on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays from 9am to 4pm. On weekdays only for pre-announced, reserved trips. We arrived on a Tuesday in October and it was clearly closed.

Truly unique experience, get ready for a little walk and couple of great tours around Castle, do not miss turtore tour, you will meet Karel your friendly companion and then you will be able to try all torture instruments, really unique experience

Well.. Bit disappointed to be honest. Compared to Vranov castle this was bit... Artifical, not do interesting and less exciting. But.. It's not a trouble, just there are large competition and it seems that Bítov is kind of lacking it differention edge

Hrad Bítov was such a beautiful place to visit, and to see the old brevery there was a real additional feature. Also the camping was very close to it. Only disadvantage was that they don't accept cards at the parking lot.

A nice spot, gardens divided to public & private, putorwsque surroundings.

Nicely renovated, garden is very pretty, fair warning though ... the key attraction used to be museum of hippology ... which is currently not on display! Let's hope for the best in the future. This helped to save the actual castle in the 60s and 70s. The interior displays are symbolic and typical for 19th and early 20th century and compared to other gems in the Czech Republic somewhat average.

I'd been coming here as a small kid 35+ years ago. So it's a cult experience for me 😀 At the moment, the horse museum and park are closed due to a major refurb (will probably affect this and the 2019 season). The manor house and a look out are accessible.. The two guided tours take about 90min together. Interestingly, the staff on site are not the usual part time interns but regular monument office employees.. it makes no doubt for a professional tour experience.

Really nicely furnished and big chateau. The guides here are top.

The outside is like a manor, but the inside is very elaborate, especially the ceilings. Many paintings of horses. You can also visit the stables.

Coollll

Small but awesome!

The basilica is highly recommended for its unique style and old Romanesque artworks. However, the interior can only be visited with a guided tour, which must be booked at the info centre. Tours run almost every hour and are in Czech, but information pamphlets are available in German and English.

Sadly, closed when I went past. A beautiful old church that is sometimes open. It begins the trail though the UNESCO old Jewish area

A mixture or romanesque and gothic architecture dating from the early 13th century - not common at all in the Czech Republic. Please mind that the interior is only accessible with a guided tour (check the timings, we got there 9 minutes late and were not allowed in, not even for a quick glance). A view and a lovely herb garden (with name-tags for herbs!) makes up for the disappointment if you don't manage to get in.

I love this place! It is one of the most beautiful place I've ever seen. It should be on your must-see list.

Very large gothic cathedral. Worth doing the guided tour even though it is in Czech.

Really beautiful, very old and rare Roman style church.

Unique place on its own, but there's also a beautiful herb garden outside and a great view of the city. The guided tour of the interior was informative and interesting. It also allows access to most of the spaces inside the building, which give you insight into various eras of the building's existence. If you're interested in history or architecture, I can't recommend it enough. Photos are allowed inside the building.

Calm holy place.

A sad, and atmospheric place that is also sadly neglected.

Really worth a visit after visiting the Jewish ghetto.

Nice park

2019 May

(Translated by Google) The Třebíčšky Jewish cemetery, which has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2003, has fascinated me since our first visit. The Jewish cemetery in Třebíč is the second largest in the Czech Republic after the old Jewish cemetery in Prague. It is located on the northern side of Hrádek in Třebíč on a total area of ​​11,678 m². There are 2,600 tombstones on it, and the oldest still legible inscription is dated 1625. About 11,000 people are buried here. Many tombstones are literally hidden under the ivy. Unlike Christians, Jews do not place flowers or wreaths on graves, only stones. The sea of ​​ivy, from which tombstones with Hebrew inscriptions peek out from among the old trees, looks incredible. During the Second World War, Jews were deported to concentration camps. Out of 300 Jewish residents, not even twenty of them returned to Třebíč. The memorial monument at the entrance to the cemetery commemorates 290 victims of the Nazi government and Jewish soldiers. (Original) Třebíčšky židovský cintorín, ktorý je zapísaný od roku 2003 aj v zozname Svetového dedičstva UNESCO, ma fascinuje od našej prvej návštevy. Židovský cintorín v Třebíči je po pražskom starom židovskom cintoríne druhý najväčší v Česku. Rozkladá sa na severnej stráni třebíčskeho Hrádku na celkovej ploche 11 678 m². Je na ňom 2 600 náhrobkov a najstarší dosiaľ čitateľný nápis je datovaný v roku 1625. Pochovaných tu je asi 11 000 ľudí. Množstvo náhrobných kameňov je doslova ukrytých pod brečtanom. Židia na rozdiel od kresťanov na hroby nekladú kvety či vence, len kamienky. Brečtanové more, z ktorého vykúkajú pomedzi staré stromy náhrobky s hebrejskými nápismi, pôsobí neuveriteľne. Za druhej svetovej vojny boli Židia deportovaní do koncentračných táborov. Z 300 židovských obyvateľov sa do Třebíča vrátilo ani nie dvadsať z nich. Pamätný pomník, ktorý je pri vchode so cintorína pripomína 290 obetí nacistickej vlády a židovských vojakov.

(Translated by Google) A large Jewish cemetery worth visiting. Freely accessible. (Original) Rozlehlý židovský hřbitov, který stojí za návštěvu. Volně přístupný.

Nice chateau but the church uphill is unique. Never seen such architecture and the view is amazing. I decided to camp next to it.

Very nice place to visit. Not a lot of tourists. Entrance was free, tours were not. Only with the tour you will get into the main part of the building. I don't know if the tour is worth it to be honest. All tours were in Czech. I do think it will be quite interesting when you understand the tourguide.

I enjoyed a lot. In group going on walk through was only me and user guide. I was lucky i felt like special guest. It was marvelous. Specialy museum, i was astonished. Chateau was superb. It is live prove, the difference between private and gowerment owner. And yes private owner is better. Thanks for nicely refurbished chateau. I like it...

The castle is open on some days only, so check this in advance. Otherwise you might end up with the museum and the gardens only. The entrance to the gardens is either form the street or from the information center and it's for free. There is a cool souvenir shop where I bought some beer, chocolate and some other local products. Parking place in front of the castle is huge and the historical bridge that is one of the top highlights of the town is close by. You will very probably pass through it with your car on your way to the castle, actually.

Nice place with rich history. We ordered english tour, but unfortunatelly they did not noted that. Finally some young girl from reception desk saved us, luckily.

I have visited the castle Zdar n.Sazavou in April 2019 and it was great. I liked tge castle itself and the internal yard. There are guided tours and the one I tried was in Czech and it was very interesting. The guide was very welcoming, smiling and positive. Apart the standard things you find in the castle I really appreciated the baby change room, this was the only baby change point I found in Zdar unfortunately, so it was a pleasant surprise.

The huge castle area is very well maintained by its owner Kinsky family, it is just amazing. We really like how the buildings were reconstructed with taste. The orientation system is very artistic and nice. There is absolutely no visual smog of banners outside, so refreshing and unique in Czechia. There is all kinds of services in the castle: a café, a few museums, a souvenir shop, different kinds of acommodation, a church and even a school :) The only thing we were missing was a restaurant that would sell fish caught in the Kinsky's ponds. I definitely recommend a tour called Following Santini's Footprints in many castle buildings. The tour guide Tomas was super nice, he had a very interactive tour with questions and discussions and he knew a lot.

Very beautiful designed and unique church. Visit the museum first to learn more about the history of the church.

A beautiful design, place of peace, good energy, spacious and very clean. Polite people. We loved it. Enjoying a river at the foot of the church tower was wonderful. Another little piece of the Czech Republic.

Attractive pilgrimage church with unusuall walls in the shape of star. Worth to climb up or one can park close as well.

One of the best works of the brilliant Czech architect with Italian ancestors, Jan Blažej Santini-Aichel, is one of the most original examples of the so-called Baroque Gothic, that you can see only in Czech. In an incredibly elaborate building a number of symbols and religious and historical messages is hidden. The symbols are dominated by the tongue, the five-pointed star and the number five. The foundation of the church was connected with the forthcoming beatification and canonization of John of Nepomuk. Construction began in 1719, in 1922 the church was consecrated. Tip: if you are not a fan of mass tourism, I recommend special winter visits. In sunny weather, the church and the surrounding countryside have their charms, plus instead of buses full of tourists, there were around twelve of us here. Not only was it time to see everything thoroughly, but even the guide's interpretation did not have to be like machine gun and there was time for conversation as well. Úžasné dílo geniálního českého architekta s italskými předky, Jana Blažeje Santiniho-Aichela, představuje jednu z nejoriginálnějších příkladů tzv. barokní gotiky. V neuvěřitelně propracované stavbě je ukryta celá řada symbolů a náboženských i historických sdělení. Ze symbolů dominuje jazyk, pěticípá hvězda a číslo pět. Založení kostela souviselo s připravovaným blahořečením a svatořečením Jana Nepomuckého. Stavba byla zahájena v roce 1719, v roce 1922 byl kostel vysvěcen. Tip: pokud nepatříte mezi fanoušky masové turistiky, doporučuji zimní prohlídky. Za slunečného počasí má kostel i okolní krajina svoje kouzlo, navíc místo autobusů plných turistů se nás tu sešlo kolem dvanácti účastníků. Nejenže byl čas vše si v klidu prohlédnout, ale i průvodcův výklad nemusel být strojově odrecitován.

A beautiful old church sitting atop a hill . Sadly has been run down but lots of construction going on to restore it. Makes for a very pleasant walk with nice views all around , up the hill (which is steeper than it looks) around the church yard and back down again. We didn't go inside on a tour as missed the time slot. Worth visiting.

Since this place is already UNESCO heritage, I was very much surprised that the outside walls are in very bad shape and that there is ongoing reconstruction. The church itself is closed in winter, but you can still go thought the main gate of the complex and walk at the yard. Despite reconstruction, after passing through the main gate, one chapel inside of the outer walls was open and available for visitors, especially those that want to pray - there was a maintained altar. The hill itself and the space outside of the complex offer a nice view at the town and the places around. Be mindful when you plan to arrive by car, though. The parking place at the top of the hill is for 4 cars and that parking place is full of locals getting there by car just to go for a walk with their kids. There are additional parking places under he hill, but then you need to walk a bit on the road for cars. This place was not in Waze at the time when I visited the church. Since this is a church, there is no public toilet for the visitors, so count with that. I recommend to check when the place is open, and plan the trip after the reconstruction is done. Otherwise you see a lot of things from construction side mixed with the church view.

Still under reconstruction. I agree that the monument is more impressive from the outside as the inside looks empty with some nice mural. Only gave 3 stars because as a UNESCO monument not accepting euros is acceptable but not accepting card is out of question. So because of that I didn’t see the church on the inside.

Outstanding combination of hotel, amusement park and restaurant. Kids were happy, especially with St. Nicholas', demons', and cherts' performance. Very authentic atmosphere and very good food for average price.

Absolutely amazing experience! Me and my British husband got picked on by the handsome devils, which made it all the more fun. Then again we have a good sense of humour. Everything is well thought out, the decor is amazing and the actors are just fantastic. The only slight let down is the service in the restaurant, the food was very good, again the decor fantastic but the service wasn’t in line with the prices. Overall I give 5 stars because it was a great day out and we will probably be back. Thank you.

This is a great show. A full tour not scary for kids more funny. I don't speak czech and everything is Czech but it's still good fun. Excellent building and features. Great actors. Fairly prices.

There are two aspects to this place. First is the fun of having the demon actors making fun of the visitors by throwing insults left and right. If you like that type of humour, this is a good place for that, but it was not our type of fun. However, to each their own. We could look past it if not for the second part, which was was the obvious intent of the owner to engineer revenue from every visitor by forcing you into places where they can present their coffee and then ending the tour in the cafe where you are coaxed into buying a drink. And this is only one example of the approach shown through the whole experience. After the effort made by the tour guides/actors/demons it really cheapens the experience and makes the whole thing a disappointment. The place is full of interesting things and many opportunities for someone to spend money of their free will if presented in a non manipulative or non assuming way. It really is too bad. To top it off, the first person you come in contact with (the one running the reception/register) was arrogant and rude. Overall great idea with truly poor execution of a customer experience.

This was a wonderful family experience. We really enjoyed the program with the devils and indulged in lovely Czech food and beer. This is a must see and experience place for anyone visiting the Czech Republic.

Amazing fun experience for young and adults. People (actors) that work there really show passion for their work which is well projected through their work. Place is simply wonderful and huge, they had put a lot of work to put it all together. I would recommend anyone to visit this place and experience a fun Interpretation of hell.

Really great place, well thought out and I would say could be super fun for kids. The food was amazing and the staff was very friendly. We ordered pork knee that was super tender and we barely ate 1/4 of what you can see on the photo. Great quality food for a very reasonable price!

Team Croatia was here! Amazing place to visit!

Beautiful views, very nice and special place.

It is closed, you can only see it from outside.

A must-see, with incredible, thousand year old paintings

The rotunda of St. Catherine has been build in the middle of 11th century and the wall paintings inside are from the end of the 11th century. The paintings are very frail so the visit to the rotunda is limited based on the weather conditions. The paintings are beautiful and well preserved and it is a strong experience to see them in person. Inside it is forbidden to speak so audio guide is provided which is very good.

Znojmo is rich in history. The rotunda is perched above a river valley with a view of a church across charming gardens, a dam in the valley, small castle nearby and a cafe patio.

Beautiful on the outside, unpredictable opening hours.

Simple and Holly. It has underground church and a really nice sightseeing view. Recommend.

Very iconic church that's definitely worth a visit.

Such a beautiful church and what a prime location on the side overlooking the Thala River

Beautiful location overlooking the city and the valley. Wonderful art and architecture inside the church. Historical references about the area. Peaceful atmosphere. Quiet and contemplative.

A quiet place to sit and a well-known landmark in Znojmo. It also has the bones of St Boniface. I took some pictures of the church during a lightning storm which was a highlight.

The Church is amazing, as the whole city of Znojmo. I'm sure that Znojmo is the most beautiful town in the Czech republic.

Really pretty church with nice fresques and paintings, decorated windows, lot of colourful marble and even mummy of some unknown holy man 🙂

in Znojmo. It’s fascinating to learn about the history and practical uses of the underground spaces, from storing food and wine to serving as a hidden escape route in times of need. The details shared throughout the tour are impressive, and it really gives you a sense of how important these tunnels were. The English audio guide was also very helpful in providing context and enhancing the experience.

A wonderful attraction and a must-see when visiting Znojmo! The guided tour is in Czech only, but when purchasing your ticket, you can choose an audio guide available in several foreign languages. The Czech guide is very friendly and makes sure to remind international visitors to switch the numbers on their devices. Overall, it is a really enjoyable experience. It is recommended to reserve your ticket online in advance, as space is limited. You will then pay and collect your ticket on-site.

Very interesting your with a multi-lingual guide. We did the adrenaline tour which anyone can take unless they’re claustrophobic.

Great experience and history deep dive. The price includes audio guides in your preferred language.

We went on a guided tour and the guy who led it was very knowledgeable and funny as well. We learned a lot about Znojmo's history, it was defintiely time well spent. The only issue is that although you can buy tickets online, the information on the website is not correct - we tried to buy tickets and there were none available for the time we selected, but when we went to the cash office (to try our luck) there were still a few tickets available.

A must-visit in Znojmo. There are too many legends, and the experience feels similar to a haunted house in an amusement park

Very nice and friendly

Very cool excursion. Guide excellent. We have received a lot of interesting information about food etiquette and musical life of the castle owners. Recommend

There is a phantastic Park, with metallic sculptures and a Shop with beautiful Art objects.

Very friendly staff, beautiful castle and impressive tour. The tour is in Czech and they have an English textbook to illustrate the tour. This book needs some improvement in lay-out, but is very informative.

Really beautiful place to visit and enjoyed

Really nice chateau with two very good guided tours. The first takes you through the chapel and the representative halls with the collection of tapestries. New addition to the tour is the winter garden. The second tour takes through the apartment of Count Haugwitz. This tour also includes the most beautiful room in the chateau - the library.

I loved it , it is a half way to Prague

Beautiful garden. We took our wedding pictures there

The kind of place that kids will love and parents hate. From kids perspective: Awesome! Animals everywhere! Peacocks on the streets, a donkey in the restaurant, big snake to pet, goats, lamas, ducks, chicken, horses and a tiger! We panned some gold, rode a rodeo bull and got balloon animals. From the parent's perspective: Entry for family of four just shy of 1000,- CZK. Above that if you count parking. For that you get access to the place and nothing else. Every attraction is paid separately and they are not cheap. The western town needed complete overhaul 15 years ago. The western show we visited was interrupted by a storm which we waited out in a café with leaky roof. The toys in the playpen looked so dated that we didn't let kids in for hygienic reasons. Animal enclosures with chicken and rabbits won't impress much as well, and the tiger they have here is a sight for sore eyes. Poor animal. Several restaurants here. The one we chose had a warm buffet with no service. Choice of 5 meals of mediocre quality that cost twice as much as they're worth. All the staff seems to be highschoolers on summer jobs. Everything's dated and falling apart. Signs of repair under way in several places. On the good side - place for camper vans and tents looked nice and well maintained. The greenery is obviously managed by someone who knows what he's doing.

The attractions are a bit far from the entrance, there are too many other things than the western area itself, not so entertaining during the week, recommended for children with a taste for western culture.

Had a good time watching the event but it was too sunny sitting on the gallery. SOME SHADE SHOULD NE THERE

Skvele misto kam s detmi na vikend pokud maji rady kone a westernovy styl. Parada!

We had there a company team building.. they prepared for us western activities like Indian hunting or gold washing.

Too much money for dirty place full of nonsenses, no quality of food, expensive souvenirs etc. Only artists are doing good.

Terrible service, food was bad. No aircodition ať rooms...

Impressive and unique castle. Looks like straight from a fairy tale. Last tour at 4, Castle closes at 5. Friendly staff all around. The younger staff speaks English but the tour was Czech only. You get a written guide though in your language. We've been there off season and parking was free at 5. The tour shows the history of the castle and medieval life. Very interesting.

To reach the castle, you park your car and take a locomotive-style tour bus to the entrance. You buy a ticket from a machine. The round-trip price is 90 CZK per person. The driver helps you buy your ticket. After arriving at the entrance, you walk up. There are different tours. We chose the longer one, which takes around 80 minutes. It costs 260 CZK per person. I've visited many castles in the Czech Republic. The guides speak in Czech, and foreigners are given notes in English. This was the first time a guide understood the English notes we had and explained some things to us in English. This is how it should be everywhere. We felt absolutely at home and understood that we were valued. My esteemed guide friend, Aleš, is the most successful and professional guide I've seen in the Czech Republic. Thank you and I appreciate it. After the tour, you can eat something or enjoy a drink while enjoying the view. The castle is beautiful, the atmosphere is beautiful, everything is beautiful; it's a must-see.

Beautiful old castle. True medieval vibes. It's like from an old fairy tale (not Disney).

Amazing castle rich in history and unique in its architecture the guided tour is great with many things to see inside.

Beautiful castle, we hiked up to it from the train station. Highly recommend grabbing food at the only restaurant up there!

Fairy tale space near Brno with many hidden gems and several tracks to reach the castle

I got myself the following program: "Od gotiky do 20. století (základní okruh)". The guide was a great storyteller and everyone listened to him carefully. Quite diverse and interesting rooms, their filling and history. Absolutely recommend to visit. Before the start of the tour, you will be asked to leave backpacks and large bags in a special storage room.

The cleanest rooms ever! Excellent breakfast! The Therme cantine works long enough, so if you're with kids and don't want to spend a fortune for the hotel dinner, or go through all that changing routine- it is a perfect place. Affordable and, surprisingly, tasty!

Amazing place to relax and chill. In Summer wine tastings on certain Thursdays, fancy frog concerts in the evening 😅

We've always had a good experience at this thermal spa. Warm water and good food. You can rent comfy lounge beds for extra fee or visit sauna if you're up to it. Spending time outside in a warm water under the stars is nice and romantic.

What a shame...we used to come here as it was clean, updated and the food was really good but sadly that's not the case now. The whole place feels tired and needs some reinvestment and the food is terrible. We had 4 different meals and all were bland, no seasoning and didn't taste nice. I could say more about the visit but overall we will not go back and will look for a new spa to visit.

My favorite Thermal. Very nice location, comfortable place, swimming pool with water of different temperatures including sea water. The best place to relax and rest during short holidays

Wonderful Thermal Bath. Hotel guests have a wonderful area just for themselves, including indoor pool, Sauna (FKK) area with Finnish Sauna, Steam Room, Sanarium, outdoor whirlpool (hot and cold), and quiet areas. Family corner room was nice, plenty of room for parents (main bedroom) and kids (sofa bed in lounge room). Main Ensuite shower with multi-jets amazing. Dinner at the restaurant was a grand affair with wonderful culinary offering of a la carte and salad/soup buffet.

It was just wonderful! True relax! You can feel that owners do their best to provide a good service 👍 everything is on the highest level I will definitely come again!

Very nice castle with beautiful views all around. I took the B and C tour around the castle and learnt quite alot.

One of the best narative experiences. Not very much actions, but you can enjoy the view, the animals on the farm, the restaurant and the specific shops. The best part is touring the castle, where princesses will guide you through the fully furnished rooms, and tell the stories of the old times.

The castle is beautiful and well-maintained inside and out. The guide speaks in Czech throughout the tour. His words are given in English as written notes, which you can read from there. Even though the guide knew there were foreigners in the group, he didn't say a word. We missed the jokes. :) Still, it was worth seeing. You need to buy separate tickets for the exterior and the interior. It costs approximately 1,000 Czech crowns for three people. Parking is limited, and the fee is 70 Czech crowns.

A very nice place situated at middle high hill. We slept there over 2 nights and it was perfect. One minus are the shared toilet and bathroom between 3 rooms. No credit cards accepted in the castle's restaurant. The castle is not big, but enough for small princess ;)

Nice castle ground and very well kept. The tour was nice. We did option A.

Room was small but it was filled with antique furniture which I liked. Nice clean air and total silence at night. Most interesting part for me was to be inside of the castle when the gate was closed. In the morning, castle is nearly empty so it felt like the whole garden was ours. There is nothing much to do other than hiking and to chillax. Overall it was a memorable stay.

Castle is ok, I would say average. However guide was a bit weird, if I compare it to other guide experience I would say it was deep below average. But a great highlight especially for families with children is 1) parking lot right in front of the castle, 2) children playground 3) animals in the outer ring right within walls.

An interesting place not only for children. Large enclosures for animals are well equipped. It is possible to climb to the highest point of the park in a special trolley. There is a cafe with snacks and drinks, a restaurant, and a toilet on the territory. You will find drinking water dispensers everywhere. There are playgrounds for children everywhere.

I recently had the opportunity to volunteer at Brno Zoo, helping with cleaning and maintenance, and I also spent time exploring the zoo afterward. The zoo is impressively wide and spacious, offering plenty of room to roam and discover a vast variety of animals. It truly felt like a well-maintained and safe environment, both for the animals and the visitors. Volunteering gave me a closer look at the effort that goes into keeping everything clean and comfortable for the animals. I highly recommend visiting if you want to see diverse wildlife and enjoy a safe, welcoming outdoor experience.

Smaller, more walk-y zoo. Student ticket price is very nice. I visited on a winter weekday and it was almost completely empty, which I really liked. From what I saw, there seem to be places to sit, eat or drink, but I only noticed one souvenir shop. My biggest point of excitement was the amount of uncommon animals we saw. Thing is, I'm not sure a casual visitor cares about the 6 different types of pigeon or lizards that one cannot see much elsewhere. The enclosures are decent from what I can tell, it didn't look like any of the animals suffered. I also liked that many animals got very close to the visitors and seemed somewhat curious. I'll probably visit again in the summer. One note I should mention - when I was visiting, the polar bear exhibit was closed and so the route was interrupted. Plus points for a zoo cat that crawled into my lap while I was sitting around, minus points for mice in parrot enclosure

I was quite affraid to visit this zoo after reading some bad reviews but after all was not dissapointed at all. Really cool perspective that it is located on the hill, I could've never imagened how good it would look and especially feel for animals who are tend to live not on the flat terrain. Yet it is quite outdated with some trashy benches but on other hand it is very organic and creates great atmosphere. There were SOME exhibitions closed but still plenty to see. We couldn't managed to go everywhere with our 2yo in 3 hours! Plenty places to eat, for kids to play and just relax. Not too crowded. Littlr train is great idea when you have small kids but it would be great if it was electric one, not the stinky.

Lady at the ticket booth was really impolite, otherwise the zoo was lovely. If you go during the week it’s almost empty, which is nice, however be prepared that most of the food stands will be closed.

Super nice zoo. Very wide-breeding and very natural as if you were walking through a forest. Most special is because of the design you can get very close to the animals and see them up close

Definitely worth a visit. You can spend hours here. I went for the museum and there are three levels you can explore. You get to learn about the castle‘s history and architecture. There are also exhibitions for you to explore and many art pieces for you to marvel at. Please note it is definitely a hike up! Recommend to wear appropriate shoes.

Špilberk Castle in Brno, Czech Republic, is a top destination for visitors seeking history and charm. Easily walkable from the city center, the castle offers a scenic uphill stroll with rewarding views. Its exhibitions are excellent, detailing the castle’s transformation from a medieval stronghold to a Baroque prison, with captivating displays of artifacts. The stories of prisoners, once confined in the castle’s eerie casemates, bring to life the harsh realities of their imprisonment under Habsburg rule. The castle’s restaurant, located on-site, provides a cozy spot to enjoy traditional Czech cuisine or lighter fare, complementing the nearby café for snacks and drinks. The highlight remains the castle’s beautifully tended garden, a tranquil oasis perfect for relaxing. Špilberk Castle blends rich history, engaging exhibits, dining options, and stunning gardens, making it a must-see in Brno.

The fortress is a wonderful place to spend some time. The walk up to the fortress is mildly strenuous but pleasantly green. The exhibitions are absolutely worth visiting and very comprehensive. The view from the fortress walls or its tower is also beautiful. Definitely a must-visit if you are in Brno.

Špilberk castle is a must-visit if you’re in Brno. Whether you’re drawn to its medieval architecture, Ghostly prison history, lush gardens, or unforgettable city views, it’s easy to spend whole day exploring at a relaxed pace. Perfect for a casual stroll, a dose of culture, and a dash of scenic beauty. Recommend it!

only problem was that it took me an eternity to find a toilet, but i had to "pay" for it when i got in. other than that, this castle seems very nice and it offers great views

If you stay Brno few days and have a lot of time, you can visit here. If not, you don't need to. If you want to go into the royal chapel, you have to buy another ticket.

It’s beautiful. Walking around inside the walls is free and you can buy tickets to have a look in the look out tower or the treasury.

Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, Brno This beautiful church sits on a hill and is easy to spot with its tall twin towers. Inside, it’s peaceful and full of history, with lovely decorations. You can climb the towers for great views of Brno. It’s a must-see if you’re visiting the city.

The Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul is a Roman Catholic cathedral located on the Petrov hill in the Brno-střed district of the city of Brno in the Czech Republic. It is commonly referred to locally as simply "Petrov". It is the seat of the Diocese of Brno and a national cultural monument that is one of the most important pieces of architecture in South Moravia. The interior is mostly Baroque in style, while the exterior shell is Gothic that dates mostly from the 14th century, and its impressive 84-metre-high towers were constructed to the Gothic Revival designs of the architect August Kirstein between 1901 and 1909. The original cathedral site dates to the 11th century. (Wikipedia)

Beatiful cathedral, rich and very interesting treasury, it is a must if you visit this nice Czech city. It would be even helpful if the information texts are also available in English and not only in local language.

A historic church on top of a tiny hilltop .. a brief walk from city Center, the church is maintained well. Recommended if you are in Brno !!

Beautiful Gothic cathedral in Brno! The twin spires are iconic and visible from all over the city. Interior is gorgeous with beautiful stained glass and peaceful atmosphere. The climb to the tower is definitely worth it - amazing panoramic views of Brno and the surrounding countryside. Easy to reach in the city center. Free entry, small fee for tower access. A must-see landmark when visiting Brno!

What a lovely experience, got to the place right before the service finished (around 17 something on a Thursday), managed to catch the beautiful sounds of a large pipe organ - the sound was amazing. There is a park around the cathedral’s perimeter with beautiful surroundings, you can see the whole city from afar from different angles, there are also a few cafes to sit super close to the cathedral or you can simply relax and enjoy your time with your own food and drink on one of the numerous benches (with the backs) that are located across the area

Beautiful. The bell tower was amazing. Great views of Brno and a historic view of the church. Two majestic cathedrals in one building.

Amazing experience! An absolutely iconic building – Villa Tugendhat is a must-see. We only joined the outside tour, but the whole experience was much more than I expected. The architecture and atmosphere are truly breathtaking. Our tour guide was also fantastic – even though we booked in Czech (the only option available), we were kindly given information in English as well. A big thank you to our guide on August 19th at 10:30, who gave us extra explanations in English – it made the visit even more special. Highly recommended!

we were able to get last minute tickets for the outside tour. very informative and well worth it. thoroughly enjoyed. highly recommend.

The most impressive Mies van der Rohe villa I've ever visited. Overwhelming in its sheer size. The mandatory guided tour is of appalling quality. A young woman babbled indistinctly in a flat voice. The previous guide and his group ignored the allotted time, forcing our group to wait interminably and then being rushed through the villa at breakneck speed. Then there's the morbid realization that the Jewish initiators and residents, like virtually all artists in Czechoslovakia, even Cápek himself, were murdered by German Nazism.

Villa Tugendhat has been on my list for years, but I never made the trip to Brno until now. It completely exceeded expectations. It’s huge — a dream for anyone who loves modernism and mid-century design. The views of the city and the surrounding park are stunning. The only caveat: the gift shop could use better designed merch, especially for a site this iconic. A must see visit in person

It was a shock for me to see such a futuristic villa in 1930 by the master Meis Von Der Rohe The main feeling it’s one floor amazing Design But soon you will see it is 2 floors I couldn’t get inside as it is Monday I had to sleep over on Brno to get inside it tomorrow It’s a must see for any architect or designer or art lover The round glass by the door is so advanced by that time and the opening through the building into the garden and the mountains of Brno is so advanced and timeless

A real must see when visiting Brno! The almost 100 year old villa is a design phenomenon with its breathtaking interiors, furniture and technology! Also a big shout out and thank you to our guide Sophia! 🥰 It was really nice to chat with her and her tour was nicely executed.

Unlimited budget, unlimited mind...Outstanding experience...;) And extraordinary important place for Czech and Slovak statehood...;)

Nice cave, but few stalagmites and stalactites. It is not that richly decorated. But the boat trip was the best and most beautiful, for that reason it is definitely worth seeing the cave. The view from the bottom of Macocha was also beautiful.

Outside is really great! The information about opening doesn't contain clear information regarding the last entry on weekends and weekly days. Stuff is nice and helpful. The small kiosk - actually quite good. The hot dogs were very tasty... Really!

You can only enter by reservation, especially for groups, otherwise you risk not being able to enter. We ate quite well at the restaurant where you can also take the tourist train to the cave. We paid 6 euros (round trip) for about 2 km.

Beautiful, ethereal experience. It's a must visit place to anyone coming to Brno. The audio guides are available in English and several other languages. It's only possible to see this cave with timed, guided tours, so booking well in advance is highly recommended.

Fantastic! The tour was not in English but it was still very good. The boat ride was quite magical, no photos though, because photos are not allowed on the boat.

Really lovely but it would be nice to add an English tour. Just in our group there were multiple non Czech speakers, so I am sure it would be more enjoyable for them to have an English option.

Such an amazing scenery and the tour ended with a underground river boat trip. If you're ever visiting Brno make sure you'll travel here too!

Macocha is named after the legend that a stepmother (Macocha) threw her daughter-in-law into this 138-metre deep gorge. It is Unique biotope environment with navigable dripstone caves, and the deepest sinkhole in Europe. Unfortunately also a Traditional suicide point. Beautiful and special flora within the cave. On warm summer nights, groves here are sometimes simultaneously illuminated by thousands of fireflies. Ample parking and a good hotel on site.

Loved this place very beautiful and interesting. The cave was one of the prettiest that I had visit. And the trip by boat inside of the cave was very cool and we even saw a small bat. Definitely worth it

Perfect trip: Czech Republic has a lot to offer. Here the deepest sinkhole in Europe! The tour to the Macocha cave has two parts: one into the mountain and one a boat ride through the middle of the gorge : deep in the earth. Very exciting and thrilling. The tour is guided. Very friendly staff.absolutely recommended!

The Macocha Abyss is probably the most famous abyss in the Moravian Karst and at the same time in the Czech Republic and part of the Punkve Caves complex. The depth of the dry part of the abyss is 138.4 m, at its bottom there are Horní with depth 11 m and ‘Dolní macošské jezírka ´´. depth according to the guide 50 m. get a breathtaking look. I absolutely have to praise the guide and the Pilots on the underground boats

Truly wonderful Nature with many caves and cliffs. Macocha itself can be accessed through top or through a guide tour from below which I strongly recommend.

Lovely tourist destination, I definitely recommend it if you’re in the area!

Oh my friends highly reccomendet Fantastic walk lots to see

Beautiful caves, but not very interesting storytelling, unfortunately zero fun effect for children. Probably not coming back.

Its a spectacular cave, and the tour guide was very friendly. English language available, inreally recommend to visit

We chose the longer excursion, and this was interesting. Amazing caves and interesting time.

Must go places if you love caves, lovely weather with lush green views. Perfect time for hangout with family/friends.

Definitely worths visiting. Massive deeps in a cave leave quite an impression. As in most caves be prepared to cold temperatures inside, it is about 8-9 degrees, so you should have pants and at least sweater or hoodie. As for a tour, it lacks english guide but there is an app you can install prior to entrance.

Amazing cave, hotels nearby, photo wont give you same feeling, muat go insode! 😉

I really enjoyed the Adventure Tour "In the Footsteps of Nagel" - it truly felt adventurous. The experience was exciting from start to finish. Our guides, Jurek and Paweł, were absolutely fantastic - they answered all our questions, made jokes, and were extremely friendly. Their knowledge and great sense of humor made the whole tour even more special. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something unique and memorable.
