★ UNESCO World Heritage · Archbishop’s Château & Gardens

Private Driver Day Trip to Kroměříž

Kroměříž has long been called the Athens of Haná — and one walk through the Flower Garden or the halls of the Archbishop’s Château makes it clear why. It’s one of the few places in Moravia on the UNESCO list. We’ll take you there direct from Prague, so you can skip the train slog across half the country.

Why go here

Kroměříž: The Athens of Haná, within reach

Kroměříž sits in the fertile Haná region along the Morava River. The tower of the Archbishop’s Château rises above the town — once the summer residence of the bishops and archbishops of Olomouc. The château and its two gardens were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1998.

Inside the château you’ll find opulent halls, a picture gallery with old masters, and the famous Diet Hall. Just steps away lies the geometrically precise Flower Garden with its rotunda and long colonnade, while the more relaxed Château Garden stretches along the river.

From Prague it’s about 272 kilometres and roughly three hours by car. With a private driver you leave whenever you like, and the same car brings you back in the evening — no transfers, no waiting at the station.
