The castle and town are absolutely boring, don’t plan to spend even a minute more in that area. Three pubs open which have all together three meals to ofer. the town aside, the castle is absolutely not furnished to accommodate this monumental piece. Waiting room like at a doctor, small entrance with narrow stairs - i can understand that, when it is in old castle, but what is lacking in space should be compensate by organization. staff doesn’t tell you anything, or if so, the info is incorrect. supposedly without guide, when we were in the middle of selfvisit, the lady “kindly” started to speak without making sure everyone actually hears her. they let us wait in staircase which is the only entrance to the exhibit itself so all the people coming out has to meet the waiting ones - this situation doesn’t need to occur at all, if the staff would be a little bit useful and told to just wait a bit on the side!! finally 10 min after the time you buy ticket for lady comes and tells us almost irritated that we can open the door and enter the exhibit like a selfservice… in the meanwhile people with disabilities have to walk to the very narrow curved stairs and strollers are left in the reception.

Unlike other reviewers, I wasn’t too concerned that the castle is in an ongoing stage of repair or that this sleepy town has no other attractions - our reason for coming was to see Mucha’s masterpieces, not the building. I thought they were displayed properly, well lit and on a very, very hot day, the space was nice and cool. This will be a highlight of our trip to the Czech Republic. We did not buy our tickets in advance, but contacted them by e-mail to confirm there would be no issues with getting in. They were very helpful and...
Read moreIt is very difficult to rate because the art deserves all the stars and it is definitely worth to visit this tiny town just because of this exhibition. The monumental paintings are simply breathtaking. But the exhibition itself is a disgrace, the space is not good, it feels very cramped and stuffed and there is zero information about the paintings, you have to buy a 50czk brochure to get some info. We bought tickets online, approx 10eur per person. So definitely worth a visit but the exhibition is...
