2025 Mikulov Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in October)

Get ready for an enchanting day trip as you explore Mikulov Castle, a fairytale landmark perched above the vineyards of the rolling South Moravian countryside. This elegant Baroque castle is not only Insta-worthy – it’s steeped in centuries-old wine traditions and stunning panoramic views! Kick off your visit by taking the scenic approach up from the historic town square for castle shots framed with colorful rooftops. Wander through the sweeping castle gardens and snap your must-have photos of the grand exterior and dramatic staircase — the view facing town is peak “storybook” vibes! Inside, check out the Regional Museum, including the famous giant wine barrel and fascinating exhibits on local history and viticulture. Don’t miss: The lookout terrace, where you can gaze across the patchwork landscape. For a classic Mikulov moment, photograph the landscape at sunset or golden hour when the castle glows! Visiting tips: Arrive early if you want peaceful photos without crowds (doors open at 9 am); the castle is closed Monday–Thursday! Dress in layers — the hilltop breezes can be chilly, especially in autumn. There are plenty of spots to picnic around the grounds; bring a snack if you want to linger and soak up the scenery. Precautions: Watch out for slippery cobblestones on rainy days. If you plan to enjoy wine tasting nearby, be sure to check closing times — most places wind down by late afternoon. #Mikulov #WineCountry#CzechRepublic #europe

#mytraveldiary Pálava enchanted me with its rolling vineyards, limestone cliffs, and sunny atmosphere. Hiking through the hills, I enjoyed spectacular views of the Nové Mlýny reservoirs and the surrounding Moravian countryside. The ruins of Děvičky Castle perched on the cliffs added a touch of history to the dramatic landscape. After hiking, I visited a local wine cellar and tasted delicious Moravian wines, which made the day even more memorable. Pálava is a region where nature, culture, and gastronomy come together beautifully. It’s an unforgettable stop for anyone exploring southern Moravia. #mytraveldiary

Did you know there's a wine you can only drink in the Czech Republic at this time of year? This time, we'll introduce you to Burčák, the baby wine. In the Czech Republic, there's a traditional autumn wine. About Burčák Burčák, also known as "baby wine," is grape juice that's still in the fermenting stage before it's made into wine. Because it's still in the fermenting stage, it's slightly effervescent, sweet, and easy to drink like juice. It's often described as having a fruity flavor similar to apple juice or grape juice. It really doesn't taste like much alcohol, and the juice-like taste makes it easy to drink a lot. However, the alcohol content is surprisingly high, around 1-7%, so be careful not to drink too much. ⚠️ (My friend drank too much and got drunk. ⚠️) 🍂It's a very seasonal drink that can only be enjoyed during the grape harvest season, which typically runs from late August to early October. ⚠️ Because this is a rapidly fermenting beverage, it may explode if stored in an airtight container. Therefore, if you purchase it in a bottle, make sure to loosen the lid to allow the gas to escape. Please be especially careful when storing it. ○Where can I drink it? It is also available at wine shops in Prague. My recommended wine shop is a little far from the city center, but it's Vinotéka Slámovka - podnikjakovino 📍Křenova 23, 162 00 Prague 6 I buy a bottle there every year. You can also drink it at harvest festivals.

#0YenTravelJanuary2025 #CzechRepublic #OverseasTravel Mikulov Castle, located in Mikulov, South Moravia, Czech Republic. 🏰 Perched atop a high rocky mountain, this castle can be seen from afar and has become a symbol of the town. 🤍 The castle itself is beautiful, but it also has a beautiful garden with a terrace offering panoramic views of Mikulov and the surrounding area. 😆 The view of the Moravian Plain, with its vineyards, was particularly spectacular. 👏 Zámek 1/4, 692 01 Mikulov na Moravě, Czech Republic

#0YenTravelJanuary2025 #OverseasTravel #CzechRepublic Mikulov is a small city in the Moravian region of southern Czech Republic. 🧸 It's about a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Prague, the Czech capital. 👀 Compared to more popular tourist destinations like Český Krumlov, Mikulov has fewer tourists, allowing you to enjoy the town's charm in a more relaxed atmosphere. 🕊️ Even in October, it was practically private, so I was able to take as many photos as I wanted. 🤭 The "Holy Hill" near the town can be reached in about 20 minutes by hiking to the top, offering a spectacular view of Mikulov and the border with Austria. 🌈 It's also known as a pilgrimage site. ✨

This small border town about a hour or so outside of vienna has a long history and the castle here was held and managed by hundreds of years. it’s a historic reservation. and as it was basically German until 1945, the architecture is lovely. I stay here quite often as its cheaper than across the border in Austria. it is well worth visiting for the ambience and views. it’s possible to get here by car or bus.
