Hotel • Český Krumlov
Picturesque historical gem on the Vltava River, a UNESCO site. Stroll through medieval streets and visit the majestic castle with its baroque theater.
Český Krumlov, the pearl of South Bohemia, is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List thanks to its uniquely preserved Gothic and Renaissance architecture. The town's dominant feature is the extensive castle and chateau complex, the second largest in the Czech Republic, with its iconic colorful tower and beautiful gardens. A walk through the winding streets lined with Renaissance and Baroque houses will transport you centuries back.
Among the most important sights are the unique Baroque castle theater with original scenery and machinery, the castle museum, and the Bear Moat. Don't miss the former Church of St. Jošt with its puppet exhibition, the Egon Schiele Art Center, or a raft ride on the Vltava River. The town annually hosts the Five-Petalled Rose Festival and the International Music Festival.
For a relaxing stay, we recommend booking accommodation in advance, especially during the main season. Parking is available at paid parking lots near the historical center. A refreshing walk along the river or a view from the Monastery Garden will reveal unforgettable panoramas. In the surrounding area, the Zlatá Koruna Monastery and the natural beauty of the Šumava Mountains are also worth visiting.
