Reviews
Location and views are five star. Museum a little underwhelming as it's a little complicated if you don't speak Czech. Plenty of information but could be laid out better and be more explanatory for those who aren't familiar with it - which would be vast majority of tourists. Still a worthwhile hour.
Disappointing experience. Although the museum is not small, I think the experience is far from ideal. The museum is outdated and the pricing is not straightforward. There are 3 options you can choose, the museum, the chapel and tower, or the medieval casemates. There is no combi ticket which I find a bit absurd. The museum is not small, however the descriptions in the rooms are only in Czech. If you want to read, they have some sort of old fashioned booklets in English and other languages, however these are not intuitive and it is not always clear what section or part it is referring to. In addition there are some objects or parts that have a description in Czech in the room but no corresponding section in the booklet. There is a lot of history but unfortunately it is not optimized for people who don't read Czech. Overall, I was quite disappointed with the experience and do not really recommend coming here unless they modernize and optimize the experience for tourists.
The museum ticket includes the art galleries and design exhibition, this place is huge, you walk through almost the total of 3 levels of the castle. It took me 4 hours to get through it.
