Itinerary
We begin with a stroll through the castle’s magnificent gardens. Discover which modern building at the garden’s centre places Český Krumlov’s UNESCO status at risk, and enjoy the postcard vistas that inspire painters and photographers worldwide.
Prepare for total immersion in the life of the second-largest castle complex in the Czech Republic. Walk through all five courtyards Hear the legend of the bear moat and meet the live “guardians of the castle” Unlock the secrets of the 17th-century Baroque theatre, an engineering marvel of Europe Visit the finest viewing terraces overlooking the town’s rooftops and the loops of the Vltava
Wander cobbled lanes steeped in 16th-century ambience, admire superb Renaissance façades and hear the city’s most shocking, tragic tale—about the barber’s daughter Markéta and her mad lover Don Julius, son of the Austrian emperor.
Step inside the town’s principal Gothic church. Learn why noble families once buried their hearts here apart from their bodies, and study the unique interior where Gothic meets Baroque.
Climb to one of the Czech Republic’s most picturesque lookouts. Your guide recounts the story of Český Krumlov from its founding to today and explains how the town’s name is tied to the river bend and the legend of the “crooked meadow.”
We finish on the main square. Discover which noble families ruled Český Krumlov and why the rose emblem adorns the town, reflecting its coat-of-arms history and romantic lore. A perfect spot for farewell photos and a last look at the fairy-tale city.

About Prague
Prague's skyline of spires rises over the Vltava, with a hilltop castle, statue-lined bridge and a medieval old town that survived largely intact.
Prague Castle, one of the largest castle complexes anywhere, crowns the hill of Hradčany, with St Vitus Cathedral at its centre and the tiny houses of Golden Lane tucked behind. Below, the Lesser Town's Baroque palaces and terraced gardens lead down to the Charles Bridge, lined with statues of saints and busy from dawn.
Top-ranked sights in Prague: Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad), Prague Old Town Square (Staromestské Námestí).
