Accessibility

Access to the chateau

The main entrance to the park and the chateau is from the Chotkova street in Veltrusy. The parking lot is nearby. The road is unpaved with sanded surface.

Perhaps more accommodating would be to enter from the Obora camp, which has a parking lot with reserved spots for the wheelchair users. It is located about 100 m from the castle courtyard. The road from there is partly asphalted and suitable for wheelchair.

Ticket office and toilets

Ticket-office and WC are barrier-free. Both ladies and men's restrooms have a limited mobility stall.

Cyclists

The cyclists are permited to enter the castel´s park. The only limitation is in the courtyard at the chateau, where it is necessary to lead the bicycle. There are bicycle stands in front the entrances to the Honorary Court and infront of the ticket office.

The chateau complex directly intersects the cycle path that runs along the Vltava river. If you go to the bike, we recommend you to visit a guided tour of the cycling tour, which will take you through the hidden corners of the park and familiarize you with local history and romantic pavilions.
