Karlstejn Castle welcomes 5,000 visitors on Easter weekend

Some 5,000 visitors have come to see Karlstejn Castle outside Prague during the Easter weekend, about the same number as last year. Sunday was the busiest day with 2,000 visitors, most of them foreigners. Easter Monday is the only Monday in the year when the monument is open to visitors. Karlstejn Castle in Central Bohemia is a monument with the longest tourist season in the country. It opens its doors to the public in March, a month earlier than other castles and chateaux, and closes at the end of November. Around 270,000 visitors see Karlstejn every year.
