Top 6 Specialty Museums in Hradcany & Letna, Bohemia

April 9, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

Lobkowicz Palace

Over 700 years of Czech and European history contained within the oldest and largest privately-owned art collection in the Czech Republic. World-famous paintings by Brueghel, Canaletto, Velazquez; ceramics spanning five centuries; and an exceptional collections of arms and armor. Other highlights include hand annotated manuscripts by many of the 17th - 19th centuries, including Beethoven, Haydn and Mozart.

Absolutely wonderful museum tour that we both truly felt stood shoulders above all other museum experiences we had during our short trip to Prague. Fascinating family history told in such an elegant and informative way, with the unexpected highlight of seeing first hand the original manuscripts for Haydn and Beethoven and another anointed manuscript by Mozart, all of whom had close relationships with the ancestors of the current Lobkowicz family. An astonishing story that we would have no hesitation in returning to.

Will only take you 20-30 minutes at most, but a fascinating collection and worth the visit. Then, visit the nearby monastery restaurant/brewery for good food & beer, with fantastic views out over Prague!

Gingerbread Museum

Reviewed By j1954g - Tetbury, United Kingdom

Yes, it is really a shop rather than a museum, as other reviewers have said, but we had to go back twice after our first visit to buy more of the large cookies (plain gingerbread or vanilla/chocolate chip gingerbread) as they are so delicious and reasonably priced at 50 CZK each. We also bought gifts - there is a large selection of old-fashioned gingerbread figures, decorated hearts, and some lovely German sheets of cut-out figures to stick on cards, etc. (The last-mentioned items hang on hooks near the back of the shop). Definitely recommended - we saw other gingerbread items around town, but none so pretty as these.
