Perched on a hilltop about 18 miles southwest of Prague, Karlstejn Castle (Hrad Karlstejn) has been a striking feature of the landscape for nearly 700 years. The castle’s fairy-tale turrets and steep roofs rise prominently, drawing visitors from around the world. Today, guests can explore its historic grounds, stepping back in time to experience the medieval architecture and ambiance that have defined this iconic Czech landmark.
