Program details
Discover the large fairytale-esque village of Cesky Krumlov, filled with architectural heritage, boasting more than 300 historic houses built around a stunning castle and chateau. Dating back to the 13th Century you will see Gothic, Renaissance and even Baroque elements throughout the town. The Baroque theatre and the frescoed façades, in particular, are a sight to behold. Below the castle, nestled on the opposite banks of the horseshoe bend of the River Vltava, the town branches out around a central square. You will be entranced and enthralled by the authentic charm and history of this pictureque town as you wander along its winding cobbled alleys, explore the castle grounds and visit other historical sights.
Recognised by Unesco for the quality and intactness of its buildings and townscape for more than five centuries, Cesky Krumlov’s historical value lies in it being a great illustration of how towns and cities in central Europe developed during the medieval and Renaissance periods. With considerably little conservation and restoration having taken place, this charming town is a gem that has remained untarnished by the passing of time.
Leave Cesky Krumlov and admire the beautiful landscapes of Southern Bohemia as you head towards the south Bohemian city of Ceske Budejovice. This hidden gem boasts a unique historic square, lined with Renaissance and Baroque houses dominated by the Black Tower. The city is also known as the birthplace of the well-known Budweiser Budvar beer.
