What You Will See: Town of Český
Krumlov and Český
Krumlov Castle (closed November - March)
The medieval town of Český Krumlov is
one of the most charming Czech towns and a pride of the Southern
Bohemia region. Its architecture has been preserved through the
ages thanks to the area's peaceful history. In the 1990s, the historic
center of
Český Krumlov was skillfully restored to picturesque beauty that
draws visitors from all over the world. The Castle
and Chateau of Český Krumlov is the second largest castle
complex in the country. Its exterior
courtyards and Italian-style gardens, as well as the rich interior
rooms are well worth visiting, not to mention the view from the
castle area or the castle tower. In the summer, you will get
a tour of the castle. In winter months when the castle is closed,
your guide will still take you up to the castle
area for a view and to show you the courtyard.
You will then have lunch and will be given 1 - 1.5 hours of
free time to enjoy however you wish. After arriving back in Prague,
you will be dropped off on the Old Town Square or, if a large
bus is used, at the Hotel Intercontinental located within a 10-minute
walk from the Old Town Square.
