Visitor numbers at Czech castles likely to pass five-million mark in 2015
Visitor numbers at Czech state-owned castles and chateaus this year are expected to pass the five-million mark, Novinky.cz reported. Over 4.9 million visitors at properties administered by the National Heritage Institute had been recorded by the end of October, some 300,000 more than at the same point in 2014, a year which saw record numbers, the news website said. A representative of the National Heritage Institute said increasing numbers of castles and chateaus were now open year-round rather that in the traditional April to October period.
