KCD IRL [KCD1][KCD2] Planning a trip in Czechia, what should I visit?

Big fan of KCD1 and Im planning a trip in Czechia for next summer, what should I visit? I know Rattay had some kind of museum at one point, and that some building still look the same. Haven't yet played KCD2, but I still have time.

I also really like the castles of the region, and moreso HRE castles over french or english ones. Are there good castles to visit even though they are not in the games ?

It's a trip with my grandpa, so I don't control exactly where we go, but I want to make suggestions. I know we stay in Prague, so maybe things around it. We have to stay in other places too, so maybe I'll be closer to KCD locations.

So, what should I see?

If you like castles, I'd suggest Karlštejn Castle. It wasn't featured in the games, but it was built by Charles IV. It's about a 40 minute train ride from the main station. Kutna Hora (a.k.a. Kuttenberg) is the main city in the 2nd game, so if you get there, you can familiarize yourself a bit with some of the city's landmarks before seeing them in the game (or the other way around).

We made a two week trip through the Czech Republic in early September this year. By car. KCD was my personal reason, but my wife and the kids (they're grown ups) had other interests too.

My recommendations:

  • Cesky Krumlov. The whole town is a pearl. If it's warm rent a boat with paddles.
  • Hluboka nad Vltavou
  • Tabor (short visit at the town centre)
  • Castle Zvikov (old ruins overlooking the river/ lake)
  • Prague
  • Litomerice
  • Dečin castle
  • Sasau Monastery (only because of KCD, it's nice but not too special tbh)
  • Trosky Castle
  • Kutna Hora (the cathedral is an awesome view honestly)
  • Adršpach rocks. This is a must see!
  • Kuneticka Hora (old castle on a rock with a view, near Pardubice)
  • Olomouc with its parks and especially the rose gardens
  • Brno
  • Lednice Castle/Palace

EDIT: Had to add three things because I forgot them or had to google the spelling
