The visit that works all year: the museum, opened in 2011, brings out of the castle's storerooms objects of the Rožmberks, the Eggenbergs and the Schwarzenbergs, the three families who owned it, and the ticket includes the painted tower, from whose gallery you see the bend in the Vltava, the red roofs and the square. You do it on your own, in a little under an hour. In winter it is open Tuesday to Sunday.
