What to expect
Departing from Prague in a modern, air-conditioned bus, you’ll travel through the scenic Czech countryside while your expert guide introduces you to the fascinating history of the region.
Founded in the 13th century, Český Krumlov quickly rose to prominence under the powerful Rožmberk (Rosenberg) family, one of Bohemia’s most influential noble houses. The town flourished as a centre of trade, art, and architecture, its narrow lanes, colourful facades, and elegant squares bearing witness to centuries of aristocratic life. Later ruled by the Lobkowicz and Schwarzenberg dynasties, the town maintained its cultural richness and architectural integrity even through turbulent historical periods.
Your tour begins with a guided walk through the beautifully preserved Old Town, where you’ll explore Gothic churches, Renaissance townhouses, and Baroque courtyards. The town’s crowning jewel, Český Krumlov Castle, dominates the skyline and is the second largest castle complex in the Czech Republic, featuring period interiors, an ornate Baroque theatre, and sweeping views over the Vltava River.
After the tour, enjoy free time to explore at your own pace. Visit the Castle, discover hidden courtyards, shop for handcrafted souvenirs or just relax over a traditional Czech lunch. Your guide will be on hand to offer personalised recommendations.
