Cesky Krumlov is a huge tourist magnet, which makes things colorful and easy for travelers. Lassoed by its river and dominated by its castle, this enchanting town feel lost in a time warp. At times it can feel like a medieval theme park - but not so much that it entirely tramples the place's charm. It's easy to enjoy strolling the town without ever paying to enter a sight. But it's worth considering the Baroque Theater at the castle and the Bohemian Castle inself, which can be seen only with a reserved tour. When you see in Cesky Krumlov awe-inspiring castle, delightful Old Town of shops and cobbled lanes, characteristic little restaurants, and easy canoeing options, you'll understand why having fun is a slam-dunk here. Most of Cesky Krumlov's modest sights are laced together in this charming self-guided walk from the top of the historic Old Town, down its spine, across the river, and up to the castle. The town and its historical center rich mix of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque building which curve with the winding streets. Step into shops and snoop into back lanes and tiny squares. Take your time to learn, consider, admire and enjoy!!

The exhibition itself is very well designed with correct amount of information splited across the house rooms. A suggestion: in the first two rooms maybe subnumbers can be assigned to the objects so the photography lames can understand the tools mentioned in the audio guide.

Took a day trip from Prague to this old town as there are so many photos & bloggers reviews about it. It’s really worth a visit although it’s a 3hours ride from Prague. CK castle of course is the no 1 attraction if you want to have a panoramic view of the whole town. You can take a leisure walk around the castle compound where each & every corner gives you different view of the Old Town. Take a short climb to the top of the tower of course is the only way to have a panoramic view of the scenery.It’s definitely a wonderful place to visit !
5. Hluboka Nad Vltavou Castle

An English-style park surrounds this romantic castle, rebuilt in the Tudor style during the mid-1800s. The castle interior features many objets d'art, paintings and tapestries from the 17th and 18th centuries.

The Hluboká Castle is conveniently located 10 km from České Budějovice, thus making it a great place for one day trips. It is apparent the village of Hluboká nad Vltavou is a prospering place so summer 2020 has seen it full of reconstruction works. Also, be aware this place is very popular so you may expect crowds. You can either walk from the central parking place or take a train up to the castle. I suggest walking, you can enjoy the picturesque streets better. The walk is 15 minutes tops. However, families with children will appreciate the opportunity not to go on foot. When you have made it to the top you can have a guided tour of the inside of the castle and enjoy the beautiful park and admire the views of the castle at your own pace. Suitable for all ages. When in South Bohemia, do give this castle a go. You do not have to be a history or architecture enthusiast to enjoy this place.

This cobblestone market square, one of the largest in Europe, is lined with magnificent baroque buildings and 18th-century arched and barrel-vaulted arcades. The Fountain of Sampson stands in the square's center.
Reviewed By Andrewdonaldson - Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic
This is a great town square, it's within walking distance to great restaurants, parks, the winter stadium with ice-skating as well as a ten-minute walk to a mall with cinema's etc... You won't find McDonalds or KFC here, they're also walking distance if you need them, rather this square remains a very authentic Czech hub, which is widely utilised by the locals and not as much of a theme park as many other city centres. There are regular markets held in and around the square and they have a fantastic Christmas market too. If you're with children, there is a great large play area in the park, less than 5 minutes walk away, next to an indoor and outdoor swimming pool with water slides etc... for the summer. There are outdoor movie theatres, the planetarium and of course pubs with beer gardens, serving local and international cuisine and loads of Czech beers. Language can sometimes be a challenge for more complicated conversations, but I find that most Czechs in the hospitality industry will understand food and drink orders and the younger the person, the more likely they are to have a good grasp of English as there are now a whole host of English Language schools in the area. Overall the City and the Square are off the main tourist routes, but all the more authentic for that.

The old town square in Ceske Budejovice is unique beyond belief. One of the largest in Europe. When we were there there was a festival honoring their beer, with dancing all day. Wonderful!

Views on a whole city worth climbing this tower! It may appear tiring at first glance but believe me when you get there, you wouldn't regret! Price is 40 czk for an adult and you pay on the top. You can also borrow binoculars for 10 czk and buy nice postcards!
