With its patchwork of bewitching Gothic and Renaissance buildings and an 800-year-old castle looming in the background, Cesky Krumlov feels like a town that is lost in time. This fairytale spot in Southern Bohemia is in fact one of the Czech Republic’s most visited and loved destinations and arguably one of the prettiest towns in Europe. Naturally Cesky Krumlov is an UNESCO World Heritage Site packed with museums, monuments and beautiful buildings to explore, as well as museums, galleries, concerts and festivals and gastronomy. All this is just two hours drive from Prague.
All Inclusive Trip Cesky Krumlov with Kids Free
This ten-hour trip aims to take in as much of Cesky Krumlov as possible, including the State Castle and Château, the second largest castle and château complex in the Czech Republic, and the Baroque gardens that feature a unique revolving auditorium. The air-conditioned bus transfer is fast and efficient but the two-hour free time has been said to be extended to three hours, leaving visitors wandering around not knowing what to do. A definite selling point of this tour however is that a child under 15 goes free if accompanied by two adults, which knocks down the price considerably. From € 82.92.

Full-Day Trip to Cesky Krumlov
This is one of the thriftiest ways to do a full day trip from Prague to Cesky Krumlov but it doesn’t feel cheap. The itinerary is much the same as most tours – the castle is a must for most visitors of course – but also the guide leads the group along the narrow, winding streets of the historical center, taking in the Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings of the Rožmberk, Eggenberg, and Schwarzenberg noble families. It’s extremely well organised and the guides are really informative, taking their time to explain the history and places of interest in the town. From € 77.

Cesky Krumlov & Ceske Budejovice 2-Day Trip from Prague
(Photo: getyourguide.com)
For anyone with a bit more time on their hands this two-day trip also takes in the picturesque South Bohemia capital city of Ceske Budejovice, with its Renaissance and Baroque houses. You won’t stay too long however because the main aim is to spend as much time exploring Cesky Krumlov as possible. The afternoon is spent at the castle before lunch (included) in town and transport to your hotel. The accomodation is really rather swish; you’ll be staying in a four-star hotel, with the opportunity to explore the town at night, as well as a free day in the morning before heading back to Prague at 1500. Good value. From € 199.04.
