What your ticket includes
According to the Hrady CZ website (Admission page, version from May 2026), the Saturday festival wristband also served as a ticket for a castle tour, which was free for festival visitors. The website does not say which tour or route this is for each individual castle. The weekend pass is valid for Friday and Saturday; the website does not explicitly state whether the Saturday part of the pass gives the same entitlement.
Tours offered by the castle (in Czech)
- Hradní palác s věží (základní okruh)
- Dušan Jurkovič, básník dřeva (výběrový okruh)
- Kaple sv. Kateřiny Alexandrijské
- Děti na Kunětické hoře (okruh pro MŠ, jen objednané skupiny)

Kunětická hora
The castle guide is coming soon.
coming soonAbout the castle
- An extensive castle complex stood on Kunětická hora by the 2nd half of the 14th century at the latest; no written records from that time have survived. (hrad-kunetickahora.cz)
- The first written record dates from June 1420, when people gathered on the hill to hear the priest Ambrož preach. (hrad-kunetickahora.cz)
- In 1491 Kunětická hora passed to Vilém of Pernštejn, and by 1548 the largest reconstruction had been carried out in the late Gothic and Renaissance styles. (hradycz.cz)
- At the end of the Thirty Years' War the castle was taken by Swedish troops; its ruin was hastened by stone quarrying, which continued until the early 20th century. (hradycz.cz)
- The Chapel of St Catherine of Alexandria, with its cellular vault, was built under the Pernštejns at the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. (hrad-kunetickahora.cz)
