Tips for local trips

Chateau Lednice

The castle is one of the most visited monuments in our beautiful country of The Czech Republic. Neo-Gothic reconstruction in the 19th century, it has created a residence surrounded by one of Europe’s largest parks (almost 200 ha), in which the visitor finds the Palm House, the Venetian fountain, Roman aqueduct, the Chinese Pavilion, artificial ruins minarett and Johns Castle.

Thanks to a unique connection with the monuments surrounding human nature was formed in 1996 by the whole Lednice- Valtice UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Valtice Palace

The Valtice castle, which came into existence thanks to an enlargement of a tower house that was probably founded in the 11th century, was the seat of the ruling prince of the Liechtenstein family from the end of the 14th century.

The magnitude and splendour of Baroque decoration proves, even today, that it was the residence of one of the most powerful noblemen in the Danube monarchy. In 1996, the castle, as an integral part of the Lednice-Valtice Area, was listed by UNESCO as a World Cultural and Natural Heritage Site.

Mikulov

The first written record of Mikulov dates back to 1173. The former Liechtenstein and later Diestrichstein chateau on the rock has been a unique dominant of the Mikulov skyline for centuries.

Spend time wondering around its quaint little town, or climb up to Holy Hill, one of the most important dominant landmarks in Mikulov for a spectacular view.

The Iron Curtain Museum

The Iron Curtain Museum in Valtice presents the long history of service at the state frontier with special emphasis on the years between 1951 and 1989. At this time, the frontier was strictly guarded and an enormous effort was made to make it absolutely impenetrable.

Near perfection was achieved by using all technological devices and the “iron curtain” came into existence.
