How long should I go for?
We would recommend spending 2-3 Days in Cesky Krumlov.
Getting there:
You can get to Cesky Krumlov by train from most places in the Czech Republic, including from Prague. Sometimes it may also be cheaper and quicker to get here from places in the Czech Republic by bus.
Getting Around:
On foot is the best way of getting around the town. Cesky Krumlov is relatively small and many of its areas, including the old town ,are pedestrianised.
Towering above the charming town below and overlooking the Vlatva river, Cesky Krumlov Castle is one the city’s main attractions. Discover the complex of palaces and state rooms and visit the castle theatre, museum and tower. After exploring the fairy tale castle, head to the gardens and soak up the sun while wandering through the multi-coloured flower beds that surround the lake. There’s even a bear moat which back to the 16th century!
Cesky Krumlov’s Old Town centre has retained the authentic features of its Medieval origins and renaissance and baroque transformations. The town centre is so tiny that you can easily walk from one end to the other in under half an hour. Visit in the summer to picnic in the parks or relax with an ice cold beer at one of the quaint riverside bars. Head to the town in winter and stroll along Radnicni Street where you’ll be treated to pastel coloured houses and cobbled streets dusted with snow.
This 14th century gothic town hall was once the residence of the wealthy Cert family. Today, the building is home to the Municipal Police and The Museum of Torture. Located in one of the town’s main market squares, the Town Hall is surrounded by souvenir shops and delightful cafes and snack bars.
