Cesky Krumlov from Prague: Day Trip or One Night?

Cesky Krumlov from Prague: day trip or one night, what to see

A day in Cesky Krumlov, in three parts:

• Morning: Arrive from Prague as early as you can, walk into the old town, and start at Svornosti Square with the Renaissance Town Hall and the Plague Column.
• Midday: Head up into the castle complex to see the bears from the moat bridge, climb the Castle Tower for the view over the Vltava, and continue to the Castle Garden with the Cascade Fountain.
• Afternoon: Walk back down past the Church of St. Vitus to the Egon Schiele Art Centrum, then eat in the side streets of the Latran district before a later connection to Prague or a quiet evening in town.

In this episode:

• Cesky Krumlov sits inside a tight bend of the Vltava River in southern Bohemia, with the castle complex on a rocky promontory above the old town.
• The town is on the UNESCO World Heritage List as an example of a Central European small town dating from the Middle Ages.
• From Prague, the bus runs more often than the train, and most train routes require a change in Ceske Budejovice.
• The Cesky Krumlov train station sits well outside the center, so a train day needs a walk or a local bus ride on both ends.
• Brown bears live in the castle moat, a tradition linked to the Rosenberg family legend, and visitors watch them from the bridge above.
