Create an itinerary including Lobkowicz Palace
Home to the same aristocratic family for nearly four centuries, Lobkowicz Palace is part of Prague's World Heritage castle complex. Confiscated by the Nazis and the Communists in the 1940s, this 16th-century palace finally returned to its rightful owners in 2002. Since then, the building has been home to a private museum housing priceless paintings by Piranesi, Canaletto, and Brueghel the Elder. The museum's prized possessions also include original musical scores written by Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven, who dedicated three symphonies to Joseph Franz Maximilian, the seventh prince Lobkowicz. An audio guide, dictated by current owner William Lobkowicz, brings to life dozens of personal items displayed here, including Lobkowicz family portraits and photo albums.

  • Exceeds my highest expectation. Not to be missed if you visit Prague Castle. The balcony and the terrace cafe have excellent view on the city. The exhibition highlights include original manuscripts of Beethoven’s third and fifth symphony. The free audio tour also covers the city and its landmarks. You can even enjoy a midday classical music concert if you visit on specific days. Highly recommend!
  • It’s a well put together museum. A bit expensive, but you also get the audio guide. I think it’s nice the personal touch, the fact that the Lobkowicz family is the one that presents what you see. The terrace is amazing, don’t miss it!
  • This museum is one of the better ones I've been to on my European trip. We got the audio guide that was self paced and that was perfect and added so much knowledge to the experience. The museum featured such good paintings, instruments, wares and so much more. The audio guide taught me so much and really brought all the things I was seeing to life. Honestly, this was among the top things I did in Prague. I had no idea how big the museum was going to be until I went inside. Be sure to visit all the different exhibits and both sides of the museum. The concert takes place daily earlier in the day and sadly we missed it so that was a bummer. Definitely plan appropriately! The room is gorgeous and I bet a concert would've been amazing! Highly recommend!
  • Great audio guide, very "personalized". I really appreciated free admission for Ukrainians, honoring Ukraine in the first floor exhibition, and special thanks for having a dog room! Every museum must have a dog room!
  • Wonderful place to start or end your stroll around Pražský hrad as it’s located just next to entrance gate. The entrance is 290 kron and totally worth - most important to you take audio guide. That’s one of the palaces which belongs to living descendants of Lobkowitz family. It’s very interesting to have a look inside as you feel not like in a regular public museum. It’s more like to be a guest in a very old and noble house! Check the open air terrace you would have an amazing view of Prague. In museums shop except regular souvenirs they also sell great quality reprints of antiques maps, European and world maps as well. Cafe works till 6 pm, same as a museum.
