Karlstejn Castle, a mere 40-minute train ride from the capital city, is one of the easiest day trips from Prague. Due to its proximity to Prague, and its fairy tale beauty, the castle is the second most visited destination in the Czech Republic. The landscape and nature surrounding Karlstejn are stunning, lush, and peaceful.
Karlstejn Castle was built by Charles IV between 1348 and 1365 to house royal treasures and the crown jewels.
