Ceský Krumlov ... (German: Krummau an der Moldau) is a small city in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, best known for the fine architecture and art of the historic old town and Krumlov Castle. The city is named Český Krumlov ("Bohemian Krumlov") to differentiate it from Moravský Krumlov ("Moravian Krumlov") in the southeast of the country. Krumlov Castle is unusually large for a town of Krumlov's size; within the Czech Republic it is second only to the Hradčany castle complex of Prague.

This can be annoying as there are lots of tour leaders waving their tiny flags around and stopping in the middle of the streets to inform the visitors of the history of the town and so on. Groups tend to walk very slowly whereas I move like a high ... more

It was one of those wet, dreary days in the Czech Republic when we hopped on to the packed bus heading for Cesky Krumlov. Hoping the weather would brighten up a little as we waved goodbye to the enormous bus station in Prague, I started to wonder what this town, often described as the second fairy tale town in Czech Republic, was actually like. Sometimes the countryside in between towns in this region of South Bohemia can be plain, flat and somewhat dull but fortunately the splendid Gothic and Baroque architecture make up for this. Once we had arrived in Cesky Krumlov the drizzle was still with us but we didn't let this dampen our spirits and ... Read the complete review

If you visit the Czech Republic, you must get out of Prague. Prague is beautiful, but its an overcrowded, expensive city. Out of Prague there is some lovely countryside and many interesting towns to see. In the South Bohemia region, down near the Austrian border, is the old town of Cesky Krumlov. Surrounded by the Vltava river (the river that runs to Prague!) it has a castle and an old walled city. Make sure you take a walk up into the castle, it has some lovely wall paintings and a great view over the city. Its fairly easy to get to by car or public transport, and many tour companies do trips there also. You will notice its a lot cheaper than ... Read the complete review

Cesky Krumlov. Where? Not exactly a world-renowned holiday destination, I know, but if you are in the Czech Republic and fancy seeing somewhere other than the tourist-filled plazas of Prague, hop on a train and find the spiritual refreshment your soul has been hungering for. CK is right in the south of the Czech Rep. on the Austrian border. To get there from Prague, take a train down to Cesky Budejovice (aka Budweiser) and then a half-hour bus ride to CK. The whole thing will cost you about a fiver and the train journey (make sure you take a "quick" train if you can) is about 3 hours. A handy tip when you arrive at Cesky Budejovice is to ...
