Tour description
Český Krumlov is one of Europe’s most magical small towns, a UNESCO-recognized medieval gem nestled in a horseshoe bend of the Vltava River and surrounded by a vast Renaissance castle. Its cobblestone streets and red rooftops have remained almost untouched by time. On this walking tour, a local guide will reveal the history behind the fairytale-like beauty.
You’ll stroll through the winding old town, cross the river beneath the majestic castle with its tower decorated with painted murals, and hear stories about the noble families that shaped the town over the centuries. Compact, romantic, and wonderfully preserved, Český Krumlov is the perfect place to explore at a leisurely pace and on foot.
