Lobkowicz Palace

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.

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.

hidden gem within Prague Castle! The Lobkowicz Palace, dating back to the 16th century, houses a private collection of art, music, and history from the noble Lobkowicz family. Original scores by Beethoven and Mozart, Canaletto paintings, and historic weapons—so much to see! The audio guide is excellent, and the terrace café offers amazing views. A unique and personal glimpse into Czech and European heritage.

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),

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.

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

This was a nice surprise museum on our visit to Prague. The collection of the Lobkowicz family is amazing. A lot of artwork, one of the biggest fun collections owned by a european family. And to see the connection of this family throughout history to the Habsburgs and some very important artists like Velasquez or Beethoven is really touching. The museum is perfectly curated and the price of ticket is worth it. Just make sure that you will have circa 2 free hours to spend here so that you will really get to experience this museum.
