About this Tour
Nestled above a graceful bend of the Vltava River, Cesky Krumlov is one of Europe’s most enchanting medieval towns. A masterpiece of Renaissance architecture and remarkably well-preserved history, it captivates visitors with its magnificent castle, richly decorated burghers’ houses, charming squares, colourful gardens, and a maze of picturesque cobblestone streets. At the same time, the town offers a vibrant atmosphere filled with traditional taverns, cosy cafes, artisan shops, galleries, and museums.
Perhaps thanks to its secluded location in the heart of South Bohemia, Cesky Krumlov escaped the extensive redevelopment that transformed many other European towns. As a result, its medieval urban layout, historic buildings, and countless architectural details have remained astonishingly intact from the 14th to the 19th century.
This exceptional state of preservation earned Cesky Krumlov a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1992. Today, it is considered one of the Czech Republic’s most treasured destinations and, for many international visitors, the country’s favourite place to visit after Prague.
The moment you step into its historic centre, you’ll feel as though you’ve travelled back in time by six centuries. Our leisurely walk will lead us through the town’s winding streets, where you’ll discover hidden courtyards, fascinating galleries, local boutiques, and inviting cafes, with plenty of opportunities to pause and explore at your own pace.
Towering above the town is the magnificent Cesky Krumlov Castle, originally founded in the 13th century and later transformed into an impressive Renaissance and Baroque residence. As we make our way up to the castle, you’ll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views over the red rooftops of the Old Town and the meandering Vltava River below.
With more than 40 palaces and other buildings spread across five castle courtyards and surrounded by an extensive 11-hectare park, Cesky Krumlov Castle is the second-largest castle complex in the Czech Republic after Prague Castle and one of the most impressive historic castle complexes in Europe.
This tour is suitable for guests of all ages and is generally wheelchair accessible. Please note that the castle complex and its beautiful gardens are situated on a hill, so a short uphill section is unavoidable. Fortunately, the climb is gentle and not particularly strenuous.
As with all of our private tours, the pace is entirely yours. We never rush from one place to another and are always happy to stop for a rest whenever needed, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the day in complete comfort.
