Know more about your day trip
Cesky Krumlov is a UNESCO World Heritage medieval town that feels like stepping into a fairytale. Its 13th-century castle complex is the second-largest in Czech Republic, while the perfectly preserved old town features colorful Renaissance buildings surrounding the meandering Vltava River.
The historic center is compact and walkable end-to-end in 20 minutes, but you'll want 5-6 hours to properly explore the castle, climb the tower for panoramic views, wander the cobblestone streets, and enjoy a traditional Czech meal.
Absolutely! The castle tower offers the best panoramic views of the town's red-tiled roofs, the S-shaped Vltava River, and surrounding Bohemian countryside. The climb is moderately easy and takes about 15 minutes, with spectacular photo opportunities at the top.
The castle's bear moat has housed bears since the 16th century, continuing a tradition linked to the noble Rosenberg family's coat of arms. Today, it's home to bears that visitors can observe from viewing platforms around the castle grounds.
Photography is not permitted inside the castle rooms during guided tours, but you can freely photograph the castle courtyards, tower views, gardens, and all exterior areas. The town's colorful streets offer endless photo opportunities.
Try traditional Czech cuisine at local restaurants, sample world-famous Czech beer at riverside pubs, browse local craft shops for handmade souvenirs, and if visiting in summer, consider a peaceful raft trip down the Vltava River.
Early morning (before 10am) and late afternoon offer quieter streets. Winter visits provide an almost magical experience with snow-covered rooftops and minimal crowds, though some attractions may have reduced hours.
Comfortable walking shoes with good grip are essential for cobblestone streets and castle stairs. Dress in layers as weather can change, and bring a warm jacket for cooler months when exploring the riverside areas.
