Český Krumlov
Český Krumlov is a small Bohemian town wrapped inside a tight bend of the Vltava, below a castle complex with a painted tower and a Baroque theatre. The centre is almost entirely medieval and takes an afternoon to walk. Day groups from Prague fill it at midday, so an overnight stay gives you the town quiet.
How long to stay
