Děčín Castle

Lovely area with Elbe river flowing past. Lots of good/bad history involved with the castle. Very cheap to look around, but it needs a bit of money spent on sweeping the stairs and general tidy up.

A beautiful castle worth visiting. I visited it in January so the gardens were closed (therefore I can’t mark them). The castle is really impressive, big and you will spend there at least an hour to see everything. There is also a nice cafeteria with drinks and food. We didn’t have a tour guide but the audiobooks in our language. Not sure whether you can book a tour with a guide but with the audiobook you get quite a lot of information too.

Friendly in Cherno!!! :DDD

I thought that I've loved Czech beer too much last night and now I see a peacock... But no! There are peacocks :D

Huge Castle with nice surroundings to walk or relax and have a cappuccino or an ice cream. At the time of my visit, the insides were closed for visitors. Local people likes to do their weddings there. Worthy though.

You can not visit the castle inside without a tourguide. There is no English tourguide so you have to use the provided audiotour (40kr) on a mobile phone, while the tourguide is speaking Czech to the rest of the group (you get used to it). You go at the tourguide's pace and not your own through the castle rooms, sometimes I wished I could've looked around a bit longer. The beautiful gardens are freely accessible, though. The Barok tour is currently not available, hopefully it will be back soon, I'd have loved to see it. Definitely recommend doing the other two tours. Our first (Czech) tourguide was very boring and hastly led us through everything. My audioguide in English couldn't keep up. The audio is in a Google Translate voice, not ideal, but you can also just read the text. Our second tourguide was friendlier and told longer stories, so I was also able to keep up using the audiotour. The rooms were gorgeously renovated and showed the luxuries of past times. I especially loved the children's rooms, with many toys that are recognizable until this day. The restaurant has amazing banana caramel crêpes (do order it when you get the chance!) and the shop has some souvenirs and books/flyers about the area. Overal happy to have visited.

We went on Easter Monday so could not go inside. This only 3 stars. It was nice walking in the garden and viewing the castle.

We have slept here for two nights. Cool location for a hotel! The room was spacious with a small kitchen and nice beds. We also did a tour through the chateau which was fun to learn about the chateau.
