About this activity

Cesky Krumlov is a gem town that reaches to the skies situated above a bend on the River Vltava, it is a pearl of Renaissance architecture and a place where the sumptuousness of the local castle, maze-like alleyways, richly decorated coats of arms of burghers houses, and wonderful floral gardens are harmoniously interwoven; at the same time, it boasts medieval pubs, ale-houses, galleries and graphite mines. Thanks to its unique preserved medieval core, Český Krumlov is included on the UNESCO list.

I and a professional driver will pick you up at 8 am (or we can go even earlier) in a hotel you are staying in. We travel around 2.5 hours to reach Cesky Krumlov from Prague. If you feel like to stop at the petrol station for a cup of coffee we will make a little coffee break on our way:-) We are very friendly and open-minded people.

Historic Center of Cesky Krumlov

Surrounded by the Vltava river, the compact center of the town is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The town is home to period houses, churches, museums, hotels, restaurants and cafes connected by narrow cobbled streets.Highlights of the town include the Castle and Svornosti square (town square) and the beautiful Castle promenade bridge build on top of a Roman aqueduct. Of course, there are the usual souvenir and gift shops catering to tourists.
Minorite Monastery

one hour Admission not included

The renovated Minorite Monastery is well worth a visit. The ticket has two parts.the monastery itself (and church) and an adjacent location with items from the collection and about the renovations. Paintings and statuary and frescoes are gorgeous, and nicely restored. Be aware of strict no photography policy in most of the facility. Gardens are pleasant, too, and free to enter.
St. Jost Church

Passing by

St. Jodock’s Church with hospital was founded around 1330 by the Krumlov ruler Peter I of Rosenberg. The hospital provided basic medical care to the ill and poor inhabitants of the town. In the years 1594 - 1599, the original church was rebuilt by the architect Dominic Cometta, and, at the same time, a tower was erected next to it. The new church was consecrated to the Holy Trinity, and the Krumlov ruler Peter Vok of Rosenberg gave it to the Protestants living in Český Krumlov. The intention was finally abandoned and Peter Vok was buried in the family tomb in the monastery of Vyšší Brod. After his death the church was returned to the Catholics and re-consecrated to St. Jodock. In 1765 the church tower underwent a Baroque remodelling, yet as early as 1788, as part of reforms introduced by the Emperor and Bohemian King Joseph II, it was abolished and gradually rebuilt into a residential house. The hospital kept its function until 1922.
Latran houses

30 min

The narrow cobbled street is part of the old town and is lined with medieval houses. Nothing has changed here over time and a walk along the street is a great way to travel back in time to the medieval ages. It is a great way to relax and unwind.
Church of St. Vitus

15 min

Entrance is free and it is was very silent and serene during our visit. The inside is fairly dark, but it creates authentic atmosphere on how it must have felt when it was build. You can take great pictures from the back of the church.
Former Jesuit Seminary

30 min Admission not included

The building now houses the regional museum, which displays a very interesting mix of clothes, artifacts, and information on the surrounding area, spanning early, prehistoric periods through to the current, post-Communist era.

The visit takes less than an hour, with the highlight being a wooden model of the old city in the 18th Century. This alone is worth the price of admission!

The more modern history is less visually interesting, but tells a fascinating (to a history geek) tale of what went on in The region from the First World War through to present day.

Well worth a visit.
Svornosti Square

15 min

The small medieval square is surrounded by period buildings. The square is home to a simple Plague column, a fountain and the Town hall. The square surrounded by cafes and restaurants making it a great place to relax and unwind in a medieval setting.
