Hey everyone!
Join us for a relaxed and scenic day trip to one of the most charming spots near Prague — Konopiště Castle and its beautiful surrounding parklands.
Just a short train ride from Prague, Konopiště is where history meets nature — a perfect destination for a relaxed hike and a deep dive into Central European heritage.
We’ll walk through peaceful forests, lakeside paths, and rolling hills, eventually arriving at the breathtaking Konopiště Castle — a fairytale château complete with towers, a blooming rose garden, and even peacocks wandering the grounds.
Originally built as a Gothic fortress, Konopiště was transformed over the centuries into a four-winged, three-storey château, now housing an impressive collection of art and craftsmanship from the Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and modern periods — including some of the rarest artifacts in Europe.
The castle is most famous as the final residence of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, whose assassination in Sarajevo triggered World War I. Among its most notable exhibits is the actual bullet that ended his life — a powerful reminder of a moment that changed world history.
This trip offers a unique mix of nature, architecture, and historical insight — all within easy reach of the city.
