Accessibility
The main tour route of the Cistercian Monastery is partly wheelchair accessible - the church building is wheelchair accessible, and then you have to climb about 30 low stairs to the floor of the convent building, where the tour is about an hour long on flat ground (sandstone tiles, wide double doors, low thresholds and only minimally). At the end, the stairs to the ground floor have to be negotiated again. Be sure to contact us before visiting!
Pets
We like animals in the monastery, but they cannot come indoors - not even in portable bags. Nevertheless, the huge grounds of the monastery are freely accessible for them (on a leash). If you decide to leave your pet in the car, make sure you're leaving your car in the shade and the animal has ventilation.
Cyclists
Do not take your bike on the tour, leave it in the parking lot in front of the ticket office or by the tree in front of the building. Also, think about whether you are endangering other visitors by riding on the paths in the area.
Child facilities
We have tours of varying lengths - consider the abilities and current mood of your youngest children in advance so you don't spoil the tour for yourself or other visitors. During the Cistercian Monastery tour, children can keep themselves partially entertained by looking for the cuddly snakes hidden along the route.
Refreshments
The nearest restauran is 50m from the ticket office (Knížecí pivovar). By the main road in Plasy, you can find Restaurace Střela.
If you're looking for lighter refreshments and a sandpit for children, there is a facility U Suku just behind the monastery wall. Walking past the park and along the Střela river, you will find other refreshment options (Pizzeria Na Barrandově, pub on the playground, ...). Click on the arrow on the right for a map.
Right in the convent building, you can buy coffee to go at the gift shop.
For all restaurants, please check the opening hours on their websites.
