Czech Republic

Looking for the most iconic silhouette in the Czech Republic? Rising dramatically from two volcanic peaks, the Trosky Castle ruins in Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj) are a must-see for every traveler. This 14th-century fortress, perched atop two basalt columns, is famous for its twin towers: the shorter, robust “Granny” (Baba) and the taller, slender “Virgin” (Panna). Located just an hour’s drive from Prague in the municipality of Troskovice, this medieval marvel offers some of the most spectacular 360-degree views in Central Europe. Our updated 2026 guide covers everything you need: from current Trosky Castle tickets and opening hours to the best parking spots and local legends.
