You step through the Cloak Bridge and the town exhales—cobblestones warm from the sun, the Vltava curling around the old quarter like a ribbon. The castle rises in tiers above the river, its frescoed courtyards opening like chapters of a history book. For three hours a guide walks you through those chapters: the painted courtyards, the narrow Castle Tower arcade with panoramic views, the Little Castle’s intimate rooms and its rare china and crystal, then out into the French-style Baroque garden where a revolving theatre still holds echoes of past performances.
