Hotels in Turnov

Often called the gateway to the Bohemian Paradise, Turnov is a historic town where the craft of gem-cutting is woven into the streets. The main reason to visit is its position as the perfect base for exploring the Český ráj Geopark, with its surreal sandstone rock cities like Hrubá Skála and ancient castles such as Trosky and Valdštejn. In town itself, the Museum of the Bohemian Paradise offers a deep dive into local geology and the region's long history of working with garnets and other precious stones. Strolling through the main square, Náměstí Českého ráje, you'll find traditional workshops where this sparkling craft continues today.

Turnov suits travelers looking for an active outdoor holiday mixed with culture, appealing especially to hiking couples, families, and solo adventurers. The most convenient area to stay is in the compact town center, putting you within easy walking distance of restaurants, the train station, and bus links to the surrounding natural attractions. The town is well-connected by rail on the main line between Prague and Liberec, making day trips straightforward.

Accommodation here is mostly comprised of practical, good-value guesthouses and small family-run hotels. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the classic Hotel Karel IV right on the main square, the modern and comfortable Apartmány U Nádraží near the station, and the relaxed, pension-style accommodation at Penzion U Nádraží. These properties offer a friendly, authentic base for your explorations.
