The Historic Centre of Český Krumlov, in a bend of the Vltava in South Bohemia, has been on UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1992; its castle and painted tower rise above the old town. It is a long day from Prague: many visitors stay a night.
Getting there
By train or coach from Prague; check the operators’ timetables.
The town and the castle
The castle (zamek-ceskykrumlov.cz) and the town (ckrumlov.info, the official tourist information).
Český Krumlov is a long day trip: consider staying the night.
Our advice: stay the night, and see the town in the evening when the day visitors have gone.
