Getting There & Away
There are buses from Prague's Roztyly metro station to Benešov (105Kč return, 40
minutes, twice hourly) - their final destination is usually Pelhřímov or Jihlava. There
are also buses from Prague's Florenc bus station (120Kč return, 40 minutes, eight
daily). There are trains from Prague's Hlavní nádraží to Benešov u Prahy (135Kč re-
turn, 1¼ hours, hourly).
Konopiště is 2km west of Benešov. Local bus 2 (12Kč, six minutes, hourly) runs
from a stop on Dukelská, 400m north of the train station (turn left out of the station,
take first right on Tyršova and then first left) to the castle car park. If you'd rather
walk, turn left out of the train station, go left across the bridge over the railway, and
follow the yellow markers west along Konopištská street.
