If you’re visiting several caves within the same month, you’ll get a 20% discount at the ticket office simply by showing a ticket from another Moravian Karst cave. A complete tour of all five caves comes to just under 1,700 Kč per adult at full price.

How to Save with the 20% Discount
The Czech Cave Administration (Správa jeskyní ČR) offers a neat trick for anyone staying in the region for a few days: show a ticket from another Moravian Karst cave (no more than a month old) at any cave’s ticket office, and you’ll get a 20% discount on your new entry. So it pays to:
- Plan your cave visits gradually over the course of your stay (see our seven-day itinerary).
- Hang on to every ticket until the end of your trip.
- Start with the most expensive cave (Punkva Caves or Výpustek) and work your way down to the cheaper ones — the discount is calculated on the price of your current visit.
Groups of over 40 people also receive a 10% discount on standard admission.
