Czech Republic is known for its castles and my favorite so far is Karlstejn – the official residence of Charles IV. It stands on the high hill, so the outside view is incredible nearly from every side and also when you are already standing on the walls.

The interior of the castle is strict (unlike Konopiste, for example), but majestic.

And the main thing – it’s only 30 km away from Prague! I highly recommend to visit this wonderful place!
