Dedicated vehicle & chauffeur
1348: the year Charles IV commissioned Karlštejn to safeguard the imperial regalia, set in a wooded valley 29 km southwest of Prague. Gothic towers overlook the Berounka River and the limestone plateaus of Central Bohemia, an area known for quarries and caves. Expect 14th‑century frescoes, a Holy Cross Chapel locked behind four doors, and vineyard views. Two smart detours en route: the UNESCO‑listed landscape park of Průhonice or the cellars beneath Mělník Castle at the Vltava–Elbe confluence.
For an efficient half‑day, your driver collects you from your Prague hotel in a Mercedes and stays on hand to flex the schedule. It’s a 40–50 minute run via the D5 depending on traffic; you tour while they handle parking and prebooked tickets, then continue—if you wish—to Průhonice 20 km southeast or Mělník 35 km north. In Central Bohemia with a private chauffeur, the day flows: you taste, you explore, they drive and wait at each stop.

Your chauffeur’s tip
For the Holy Cross Chapel, book “Circuit 2” at the first slot (around 10:15) on a non‑peak weekday: the low angle light flatters Master Theodoric’s panels and crowds are lighter.
