Some 4.9 million people have visited the Czech Republic’s chateaux and
castles this season, which is 300,000 more than last year, the National
Heritage Institute said at a press conference on Thursday. Conservationists
expect the number to reach five million, since some of the castles and
chateaux, such as Karlštejn, or Sychrov, remain open even during the
winter season. Lednice remains the most visited chateaux, followed by
Český Krumlov and Hluboká.
