This was a dude trip from Prague. We got a private driver for the day which was about 150us. The drive is typical and about an hour to this village. As you can see, it is quite beautiful. The visit is worth a few hours and I highly recommend stopping in for a Piro or a nibble at one of the many options. For those that enjoy the villages above the large cities this is an excellent 2:2 day trip. It is a mini Prague from the early 90s with none of the potential stress of large crowds and uncouth tourists - mostly. While the big European cities make excellent gateways, these hamlets always stay in my mind the longest. read more

Sitting here in the square as I write this. I would call this a medium sized European square with a small fountain off to one side and four cafe patios spilling out into the center. It's bustling due to the tourists and less so because of city activation. On the square you'll see the police office, several hotels, museum of torture, alleyway to the Muchá art exhibition and around six alleys/streets that pour into this center space. Cars are allowed to pass through although it's minimal. There are several benches near the fountain for folks to stay while and soak in the space. From the square, it's a five to ten minute walk to the castle, monastery and brewery. read more
