May 2025 visit. It seems like everyone visits Nesvizh after Mir Castle on the same day since they are only half an hour apart. This is probably the better choice as Nesvizh is the nicer of the two by a slight margin. Upon entry I was given an audioguide and shoe covers and had about 1 and a half hours to make my way through all the rooms. It is bigger and much more of a residential palace than Mir Castle but still undersells the power and influence of the Radziwill family in the history of this region.

Because it was a national holiday it was also busy with local visitors and got very crowded at times. Perhaps that's why I enjoyed my stroll around the moat and grounds more. I don't know if this is the more popular of the two but it is more set up to cater to tourists with little souvenir stands outside the walls and more restaurants in town. The nearby Corpus Christi church helps to elevate the site and its importance and should not be missed.
