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.

The château, gardens, and other spots worth a stop
Archbishop’s Château
The Archbishop’s Château is the main landmark of Kroměříž and, together with its gardens, is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Films like Amadeus were shot in its state rooms.
Inside, you’ll find the richly decorated Assembly Hall, the château’s picture gallery, and the library. From the tower, you get a view over the entire town.
Flower Garden
The Flower Garden is a rare, well-preserved Baroque garden from the second half of the 17th century. A long arcaded colonnade lined with statues runs through it.
At its center stands an octagonal rotunda with frescoes. The geometric flowerbeds are among the best-preserved in Europe.
Château Garden
The Château Garden is a sprawling English-style park that directly adjoins the château. You’ll find ponds, rare trees, and romantic structures here.
It was created by transforming the Baroque layout in the 19th century. It’s a favorite for walks with views of the château tower.
Church of St. Maurice
The Gothic Church of St. Maurice from the 13th century is one of the oldest buildings in town. Its two towers are visible from afar.
