Has anyone visited Melnik? Impressions? Favorite parts of your visit? Advice?
I’m intrigued by the idea of a day trip there from Prague the first week in June. (This is a friends trip, and there will be four of us.) I’m particularly interested in a wine-tasting at the Chateau, and it looks like a great little town to explore for a few hours.
By the way, we’d do this independently, traveling by bus.

I was last there a couple years ago and did a tour of the Chateau, it is quite a small town and the old part with the Chateau is on a fairly steep hill . I had hoped to do the tour with the wine tasting but it was not available the day I went, but very interesting place and you can try the wines in the cafe in the Chateau,really lovely place with antique sofas and chairs.
There are stunning views from that area. I was really there to try a micro brewery off the little main square ( I am a bit of a beer hunter) but enjoyed the chateau.
I took the train and the station is a bit of a walk from the old town (20minutes or so), Not sure where the bus gets you too so worth checking.i enjoyed the walk as it takes you through a very nice park area but much of the walk was through the uninspiring modern part of the town.There is not a huge amount of things to do but certainly a few hours would be fun especially if you can do a Chateau tour and wine tasting but book that before you go
