What you can expect

Visit the castle and grounds of Konopiste, a beautiful Bohemian chateau that sits among a wooded forest on the edge of a dark blue lake. Explore the manor's extravagant interior, which was the final home of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination triggered the start of World War I.

Your tour departs from central Prague, where you board a vehicle that shuttles you into the Czech countryside. After a short and comfortable drive, arrive at Konopiste to begin your tour. Stroll through the lush green gardens that contain many Italian Renaissance statues and greenhouses that boast a wide variety of plant life.

Skip the lines and move inside the castle to observe the residential rooms of Franz Ferdinand and witness his large collection of antlers from his hunting expeditions. See a fascinating collection of historical furniture, sculptures, paintings, tapestries, and countless hunting trophies exhibited here. Learn revealing details about the royal family who called this mansion home from your knowledgeable guide. As your tour comes to an end, head back to Prague and enjoy views of the tranquil forest along your way.
