Konopiště

Half a day trip to chateau located some 40 km from Prague will reveal both medieval as well as recent history of this country..
Construction of the original castle on this site dates back to the 13th century, when it was build as a water fortress. The most interesting history for us is connected with late 19th century, when it was bought by the successor to an Austrian throne, Franz Ferdinand d´Este who started unique reconstruction which changed this castle into a chateau equipped according to the latest hits for eg: personal electrical elevator, hot and cold running water, flush toilet…
As a part of the chateau tour you will also see an enormous collection of hunting trophies. The chateau is also surrounded by beautiful landscape with rose garden.

Tour itinerary:
You will be picked up by guide and driver in your hotel. It takes about 50 minutes to drive to Konopiste, located  southeast from Prague. As many of the medieval places, it is located on the hill, so in order to reach the place you have to walk through the park area for about 20 minutes or you can enjoy a ride by a special train which brings you from the parking lot to the gates of castle. Once you reach the site, you can choose from different guided tours in the chateau, which you will be shown by the on site local guides.
