Hi everyone,
If you follow my Travel Tip series regularly, you must have noticed I often promote castles and chateaus of my beautiful homeland, the Czech Republic.
To name a few, I have already showed you the Krivoklat Castle, the Bojnice Castle, the Hradec nad Moravici Castle and many more.

As you can see, we have many stunning castles and chateaus scattered all over the country but what you might not know is the fact that the Czech Republic is famous for having the highest density of castles and chateaus in the world. That is right – there are more than 2,000 of castles and chateaus found on the total area of the country which is just 79,000 sq km (30,500 sq mi).

So once in the Czech Republic, the chances are there is always a castle to be found not far from you, no matter what region or city you are in.
The cool thing is that most of the Czech castles and chateaus are open to public, usually for a small fee. Many Czech castles also host impressive collections of artworks, museums, old furniture and other interesting artifacts.
You might also know that the Prague Castle, one of the most iconic landmarks of the city as well as the whole country, is the largest castle in the world, occupying a total area of almost 70,000 square m (750,000 square ft).

So if you are into castles, chateaus and other types of old architecture, you should definitely visit the Czech Republic ;)

I remember visiting some of the beautiful Castles in Prague; the most beautiful I have ever seen in person. A young man overcharged me for the pleasure and was surprised when I noticed, lol! This was years ago and I lost the footage I had taken with my camera...it is sad to think of all the memories I have lost.

If I had not lost my film I would. (this was before digital cameras were affordable, in the mid 90's) I did find some old film I never developed...I wonder if it would still work? Even if Prague is not amoung them there might be some finds.

I always thought Germany had more castles, but well it's also a bigger country.

Excellent pictures, all we have here in Honduras and the rest of Central America are the ruins of old Spanish forts, some of course in better shape than others, some people around here call them castles, but they have nothing in common with the magnificence of European castles.

Proud royal castles and lovely chateaus @czechglobalhosts. These are the places where the past comes to life. Karlstejn Castle is the most popular castle in the Czech Republic. Where the Czech crown jewels are displayed. Castles and Chateaus are greatest Czeh treasures.

Wow! Czech Republic is more like an answered prayer to me. My desire has been to own a castle or even live in one, and discovering that a place like this has numerous castles, gives me great joy... Having one of those will be a dream come true!
Thanks @czechglobalhosts for making me see this, it just feels like I'm getting closer to my dreams!
I look forward to seeing more!
