Once known as the Impregnable Castle of Bohemia due to its thick walls, Loket Castle is one of the oldest and most valuable castles in the Czech Republic. The castle and the town of Loket are like something out of a storybook and ridiculously photogenic! Indeed the town and the castle both appeared in the 2006 James Bond film Casino Royale. In contrast, Loket Castle includes possibly the goriest museum of torture that I have ever seen! I actually left the exhibit after only a few minutes as the moving exhibits were just a bit much but if you enjoy a bit of gore you will absolutely love it! This lovely 12th-century castle is less than 10 minutes from the gorgeous spa town of Karlovy Vary and 2 hours from Prague.
