The castle stands in the middle of a large landscaped park of woodland, meadows and a long pond, which can be walked for free. From Benešov station you walk through it in about 30 minutes. Follow the path along the pond, climb to the rose garden and return through the woods: it is a quiet hour, good for before or after the visit, and an alternative if the castle is full.
