About Státní zámek Hluboká
Hluboká Castle rises on a hill north of České Budějovice. Towers, battlements and light-coloured façades make up the neo-Gothic-looking complex. The building is surrounded by gardens and a park that extend the visit beyond the interiors.
The 19th-century remodelling was inspired by English architecture, built on a residence with older origins. The internal tours allow you to see representative rooms and the life of the Schwarzenberg family. There are differences between the available routes, so the choice of ticket affects what you will see.
Allow time for the walk up from the lower part of Hluboká nad Vltavou. A rushed visit that only sees the exterior loses the relationship between the house, the gardens and the park. To combine it with České Budějovice on the same day, decide on the internal tour first and check return transport options.
