Midday Classical Concert Tickets at Lobkowicz Palace Prague Castle

Lobkowicz Palace inside Prague Castle

Lobkowicz Palace stands on the eastern side of Prague Castle, a short walk from the Golden Lane and St. Vitus Cathedral. Unlike most of the castle, it belongs to a noble family rather than the state, and it has been restored as a museum of the family's private collection. If you are wondering how to get to Lobkowicz Palace, walk through the castle gates and follow the signs down the lane towards the eastern exit; the entrance is easy to find.

Our default option includes entry to the museum and an audio guide, so you can explore before or after the music. Note that a Prague Castle entrance ticket is not part of this booking: the palace is entered separately from the main castle circuit, and the concert does not require castle tickets.

The Baroque Concert Hall and the midday concert

The concert takes place in a richly decorated Baroque hall with a painted ceiling and tall windows, a setting that suits chamber music far better than a modern auditorium. Members of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra perform well-loved pieces by composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, Dvorak and Smetana, and the programme lasts about one hour. A midday classical concert in Prague Castle works well in the middle of a sightseeing day, when you want to sit down without losing the atmosphere.

Seating is arranged in rows facing the musicians, so most guests have a good view. Check the booking panel for the days and start times on offer, and arrive a little early so you are not rushed at the castle security checks.

The Lobkowicz collection, manuscripts and paintings

The museum tells the story of a family that supported the arts for centuries. Among the treasures are original music manuscripts and scores connected with Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn, along with paintings by European masters, weapons, porcelain and family portraits. The audio guide, available in several languages, explains the highlights room by room.

Plan roughly an hour for the museum if you choose the option with entry, which pairs naturally with the concert. Many visitors find it one of the more personal and less crowded museums on Castle Hill, and it is a good answer to the question of whether Lobkowicz Palace is worth visiting.

Planning your visit to Prague Castle and the surroundings

The best time to visit Prague Castle is early in the morning or later in the afternoon, and a midday concert helps break up the busiest hours. Lobkowicz Palace is close to the castle's Golden Lane, the Old Royal Palace and the viewpoints over the red rooftops of Lesser Town, so you can build a full half-day around it.

Museum opening hours change by season, so always check the times shown when you book. Wear comfortable shoes, as the castle grounds are cobbled and sloping.
