If you go to Litomyšl, you should not miss this great monument. A 50 mns long guided tour offers a nice summary of its long history though not too detailed. The equipment is mostly genuine and well taken care of. On the second floor, there is also a separate exhibition of pictures connected to the town which is worth visiting.

Pardubice Castle is a showcase for the work of many talented individuals - architects, designers, sculptors, painters, engineers and military planners. This impressive late Gothic and early Renaissance residence, originally built for the powerful Pernstejn dynasty, is an oasis of calm in the very heart ov Pardubice´s city centre. Nestling amid its greenery, and still protected by its fortifications, this majestic palace still has the power to surprise visitors with its grandeur as soon as they step through the gates. The castle attracts tens of thousands of people per year, enjoying not only the building itself, but also the treasures of the East Bohemia Musem and East Bohemia Gallery. Pardubice Castle is one of the Czech Republice´s most valuable cultural heritage sites.
The castle is stunning and the ramparts are very impressive. It has the largest amount of peacocks I've seen in my life. Great inner courtyard with different rooms to visit. Will return when it's warmer. . Note it's quite a walk from the train station, but there are busses or taxis right outside the station.
