I wasn't sure this was our thing but we had a great time. Not to miss and it helps that it's heated as the rest of the tour around the castle is not and I was freezing!! An amazing history of the Lobkowicz family. The guide via headphones made the whole experience complete. A must if you visit Prague. More

I'm really surprised at seeing all these extremely positive reviews here on Tripadvisor since I still laugh out loud each time something reminds me of our visit to the Lobkowicz Palace. First of all, the entrance fee was really, really expensive if compared to other (much better!) museums around the world: this is not the Louvre or the Uffizi, and... More

Mr. Lobkowitz' s grandson did a guide to guide you through a site so it is fun when he says "...and here my grandfather does this or that.." More

This was added to our "had to do" list after reading several wonderful reviews about the Lobkowicz Palace. The personal touch of the family members talking about their own history made it so meaningful and relevant. I was almost moved to tears as I looked upon a painting of one of the ancestral homes and listened to the father speak... More

Please do take this tour, the fact that it is the family guiding you round the palace by audio headphones makes this tour so fascinating and strangely intimate. Well worth the money. More

I really loved this place, not only for its beautiful palatial interior, but mainly for the amazing collection of art and also great audio guides, where you can listen to the music as well and really feel a very personal touch as if the audio set was actually your personal guide. Excellent and very creative approach to presenting the exhibition.... More

We really loved this place. The history is amazing and the commentary from members of the family make it feel very personal and poignant . The works of art are stunning, and for music lovers the collection of instruments and original scores unique! More

We stumbled across this museum by accident and were very impressed. A beautiful house with an interesting story and some amazing artifacts - most notably the original Beethoven & Mozart manuscripts. More

Very interesting collections of an aristocratic Czech family which were confiscated by the communist regime and restated with their owners after the change to democracy. The daily concerto every afternoon is a pleasant experience.Don't miss the banqueting hall with mythological frescoes from the 17th century. Quite impressive indeed! More
