Highlights
  • Cesky Krumlov Castle -

The enchanting

Cesky Krumlov Castle stands as a storybook embodiment, ranking as the Czech Republic’s second-largest castle. Renowned author Karel

apek once praised its tower as the pinnacle of architectural beauty. Visitors can marvel at the world’s oldest operational Baroque theatre, a lavishly adorned carriage, and an exquisite ballroom within its walls.

The castle’s interior is inaccessible on Mondays and throughout the winter season; however, the castle museum remains open for exploration (the castle courtyards are always available).

  • Church of St. Vitus -

The Church of St. Vitus acts as a majestic complement to the castle. Erected in 1309 and having undergone multiple renovations, it has also functioned as the final resting place for the nobility of Krumlov.

  • Historic Center of Cesky Krumlov -

Initially two distinct settlements from the 13th century, Latran at the base of the castle and Krumlov along the river’s interior bend, were unified into a single town. The ancient cityscape has preserved its historical essence, featuring the splendid Old Town Square with its ornate townhouses and the plague column. Visitors can traverse the bridge and meander through the winding cobblestone lanes lined with charming medieval buildings.

Excellent day trip from Prague to Cesky Krumlov - This is a perfect day trip from Prague. The drive takes about two hours but the city is worth the visit. The city has a castle and an English speaking tour of this is included and provides a lot of insight into what living in a place like this might have been like. The town has amazing architecture and lots of shops for antiques and souvenirs. The views of the town and river are a spectacular vision of the medieval past. The tour allows for time to have lunch and the guide recommended an outstanding restaurant by the river, although there are many to choose from. A great wussy to get out of the Prague crowds, see the country and learn a lot about the history of Bohemia.

Don't miss this beautiful town! - We had a very nice trip through the rolling southern countryside to see the beautiful castle and town of Cesky Krumlov! It needs to be on the can't miss list for visits to the Czech Republic! The town is beautiful and we had a fantastic lunch at Papa's restaurant on the terraza. Communication with Continental has been excellent on two trips, our driver was phenomenal and took us on a side trip to show us the town square at Cesky Budejovice as well! Our guide at Cesky Krumlov was informative as well.

Stunning old town worth a visit - Lovely old architecture and quaint little lanes to explore. Brilliant views from the castle over the snow capped houses in the old town and river. Very easy to walk around on your own, everyone was friendly and helpful. It was a most enjoyable two day stay, would highly recommend a visit.

Majestic historic city - If you’re only in town for a single day the best way to see this magnificent classic Gothic old world city is to take a walking tour. There a many tour organizations in town but do take a tour of this great city. Be sure to allow yourself at least four hours bring good walking shoes and an excellent camera. You’ll be amazed at the sights particularly of the city itself from the High Point of vantage. It’s magnificent. Enjoy.

The transportation was on time and... - <p>The transportation was on time and car very nice. The driver Peter spoke good English and provided water and snacks for us. We wanted to stay and extra 30 min in the town and he accommodated very nicely. There is a separate guide once you get into town. They both collaborated well together. The local guide was very knowledgable and gave us good tid bits of history that we wouldn't have gotten in a tour book. The day was amazing!!! They both made the trip very special!! It was well worth the time to see this town!!</p>
