Nice place to visit for a family. Kids can play in the park near the castle.

Beautiful piece of history. I really like this place and I loved walking around city centre as well and seeing the area around the Castle. Although I did not go in the castle but I would say that the whole nearby area and the lake were quite beautiful as well. Plus, there is a nearby pizza place, great pizza.

Very nice to wander around- we didn’t go inside, no idea if you can. We came for the Vetternrönda and slept nearby . It’s very beautifully set at the lake

It's a beautiful old castle and the entry price isn't too bad. Pay once and you have until closing to walk around and explore all you want. There's plenty of parking and there's also a little shop you can have a look around in

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
