Planning Your Visit

  • Arrive early

    The castle complex opens at 9:00AM, so make it up there a little before. Have an hour walking around, experiencing a bird’s-eye view of Prague, before the Lobkowicz Palace’s opening hours begin at 10:00AM. You’ll be thankful when you see the crowd in the afternoon.

  • Make A Day Out of It

    Eat an early hotel breakfast and treat yourself to lunch in the Lobkowicz Palace cafe—it’s about as close to royalty as you can get!

  • Take Advantage of the Audio Guide

    The one-hour-long tour guide walks you through focal points of European history, narrated by a living Lobkowicz. It’s musical, engaging, and available in 8 different languages.

Simple way to get into the Palace and Prague Castle

We were told by a walking tour guide that we need not have paid for entry to the Castle since so much of it is free to look through, but we found the tickets to the 5 buildings worth it - especially to get out of the cold for a while! We had no trouble exchanging out voucher for tickets at the Palace.

Truly an amazing performance by three very accomplished musicians. They played a varied program of classical music to a smaller group of listeners which made for an intimate feel. The Lobkowicz Palace was a beautiful venue. A highlight to our trip in Europe indeed. Would recommend attending.

There are quite a few stairs to climb and descend, which we weren't expecting. Also, do get there a bit earlier as the majority of rows are unreserved. We would have liked to be able to watch the pianist playing. However, excellent performance, beautiful setting.
