[Depart from Prague] Český Krumlov One-Day Tour

Tour Highlights

Visit Český Krumlov, a medieval city in South Bohemia that has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Visit the second largest castle in the Czech Republic and admire its Baroque gardens.

Travel in comfort on an air‑conditioned coach from Prague.

Just a 3‑hour drive from Prague, you can escape the hustle and bustle of the city and enter Český Krumlov (CK), the second most popular tourist destination in the Czech Republic, embarking on a fairy‑tale journey through the Middle Ages. This small town, gently embraced by the Vltava River, had its castle and historic centre inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992, making it a rare “time capsule” in the heart of Central Europe.

During the war‑torn era, most medieval towns in Central Europe were severely damaged, yet Český Krumlov, thanks to its peaceful development, has preserved intact the architectural styles and way of life of several centuries. Every street and alley harbours an undisturbed ancient charm. There is no overwhelming commercialisation here—only red rooftops nestled among greenery and colourful houses dotted around. The Vltava River flows through the town in a graceful S‑shape, cleverly linking the castle district with the old town, forming a living medieval painting.

Climb up to Český Krumlov Castle, the second largest castle in Central Europe, where a pink‑and‑green painted tower stands proudly atop the hill, blending Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architectural精髓. From the top, you can take in panoramic views of the town’s red rooftops. The castle’s Baroque theatre, ancient bedchambers and thousands of classical European paintings all tell the story of the glory of the nobility of old.

Stroll along the cobblestone streets of the old town, where winding alleys hide endless surprises. The Plague Column stands quietly in the main square, while the surrounding open‑air cafés and handicraft shops exude a laid‑back vibe. Wooden houses line the riverbank in picturesque disarray, with the occasional wild duck gliding across the water. As a gentle breeze blows, it feels as though you can hear time whispering.

No elaborate planning is needed—departing from Prague, you can unlock all the beauty of this fairy‑tale town in a single day. Here, touch the weathered mottled stone walls, admire the well‑preserved architectural treasures, and feel the depth of Central European culture in the river breeze and warm sunshine. Let every journey be filled with surprises and healing, living up to every expectation of beauty.
