Linz to Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic: Private day trip

Miraculously escaping the destructive tides of war for over seven centuries, the town's architectural heritage is a harmonious melange of building styles dominated. The facades of painted houses, traditional artisan shops, taverns, and restaurants line a delightful labyrinth of cobbled streets. There's gem after gem to be found in this orange-roofed jewel-box of a town and everyone will have their favorite monument. Standing watch over the fairy-tale village (literally - it's a favorite location for Czech fantasy films) is one of the best-preserved castles in central Europe. Český Krumlov is no static museum piece pickled in amber however, it vibrates with life all year round, with a diverse program of cultural events and festivals celebrating everything from St Wenceslaus to Wine.
