Adventure tips

Expect cobblestones and stairsWear supportive shoes — sections of the town and castle require walking on uneven cobbles and climbing stairs.

Bring cash for small shopsSome local cafés and museum shops accept only cash or small payments, so carry Czech koruna for convenience.

Plan around museum hoursCastle interiors and specialty museums have set opening times—check times ahead if there’s a specific exhibit you want to see.

Buffer for road trafficThe private transfer includes round-trip drive time from Prague (about 2–3 hours each way); allow extra time for return travel during peak traffic.

Recommended gear

Sturdy walking shoes: Support and traction for cobbles, stairs, and short uphill sections in the castle complex.
Waterproof/light jacket: Wind and rain are common in shoulder seasons; a packable jacket keeps you comfortable between indoor stops.
Daypack: Carry water, tickets, layers, and purchases while keeping hands free for photos and steps.
Sun protection (hat/sunscreen): Open squares and riverside walks offer little shade on sunny days, so protect skin and eyes.
