Lobkowicz Palace

Lots of family history. We paid for the family art museum which was very interesting. I think there's some sort of public transport available to negotiate the hill that it is situated on, but we opted for the stairs which were a laugh... Plenty of places to eat and drink as well as toilets. Nice view down to the river.

Definitely get tickets in advance and consider an audio guide so you can move at your own pace. The collection is varied, comprised of many portraits, frescos, a Brueghel, maps, globes, china, weapons, and music. We went solely to see Beethoven's Eroica. It is on display as well as a Haydn manuscript dedicated to Mozart, Schubert, Strauss, etc. A few pages of sheet music are digitized for browsing: more of that would be appreciated! We had a package with a mini-concert: that was very well done. The view of Prague from the balcony is breathtaking. In sum, there's a little something for everyone, but getting here can be a challenge unless you are young and fit: it's a long walk over very uneven cobblestones. P.S. If you get a bathroom code, don't forget the # or * after the numbers!

The Lobkowicz Palace Museum, opened in 2007, displays world-famous paintings by Canaletto, Bruegel and Velázquez; works of art from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance; unique weapons and armour; ceramics, including the world's largest surviving Delft dinner service (c. 1685). Also on display are exquisite musical instruments and rare manuscripts with handwritten commentaries by many of the greatest composers of the 18th and 19th centuries, including Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. The beautifully decorated 17th-century Baroque concert hall hosts daytime classical music concerts.

Located within Prague Castle, Lobkowicz Palace offers a rich, intimate glimpse into Czech aristocratic history. Highlights include world-class art by Bruegel and Canaletto, original scores by Beethoven and Mozart, and a top-notch audio guide narrated by the Lobkowicz family. The terrace café offers stunning views over Prague, and daily classical concerts in a historic hall are a treat. A must-visit for art, history, or music lovers—compact, elegant, and deeply personal.

It's a really great place, not only for the view from the high ground but also for the collection of his family over five centuries, which are all worth visiting.

Wonderful place and well maintained! The exhibition offers an interesting insight in the rich family history. We also attended a concert in a nice and cozy room and it was a truly beautiful experience. The highlight of our visit was when we were taking photos in the courtyard and a kind gentleman offered to take a group photo of us. It turned out that he was the owner of the palace and he shared with us great stories and facts of the place and the family! His passion and love for history and culture are exceptional and inspiring and you can see them in this place. Mr William Lobkowicz thank you making our visit unforgettable and all your great work!

The walk up was a gradual incline and not too challenging for the fit and healthy but may be beyond those who struggle to climb steps. At the top, it was worth the effort to see the views over Prague. Nothing to pay to go to the top and wonder around. We didn't go on any tours up there, but they were available. We sat at a bar in the Central Square and had a couple of drinks. Very pleasant, busy (early July),

A nice experience in a heart of Prague. A little bit on a higher side admission price but it is worth it. Expositions are well-curated and well-maintained, beautiful halls during sunny day. Recommend to visit if you would like to check art collection of this family. There is also a nice restaurant/Cafe but the prices are higher than average
