What to see:

  • Český Krumlov Castle, the country’s second-largest castle complex after Prague Castle, crowning the UNESCO-listed old town
  • The Baroque theater from 1682, one of Europe’s best-preserved, where much of the original stage machinery still works
  • The Cloak Bridge, a covered, tiered bridge linking the castle to its gardens

What to do:

  • Climb the painted Castle Tower for a view straight down onto the town’s red rooftops
  • Raft or canoe through town on the Vltava, May to September, sliding down two weir chutes
  • Visit the Egon Schiele Art Centrum; the painter lived here in 1911 until the town drove him out

What to try:

  • Ovocné knedlíky, sweet dumplings filled with fruit such as apricots and topped with butter, sugar, and quark
  • Eggenberg beer, brewed in town

Take note:

  • Cars can’t enter the historic center, so expect to be dropped at its edge and walk in over cobblestones

Founded in the 13th century by King Ottokar II of Bohemia as a way to increase the royal presence in the homeland of the influential House of Rosenberg, České Budějovice has since grown to one of the country's largest settlements. Renowned for its beer, the city was once the imperial brewery for the Holy Roman Emperor himself. For those looking to get a taste of this tradition, it's possible to tour the modern Budweiser Budvar Brewery, more commonly known as 'Czech Budweiser', though reservations are required at least 2 days in advance. The Old Town is home to one of the largest squares in Europe, measuring a full hectare. For the best view, climb the the 16th century Black Tower for sweeping views across the square. The charming Town Hall, decorated with murals and bronze gargoyles, marks the hour with a tune from it’s glockenspiel-like bells, making it a great place to relax with a lager.
