It is recommended to depart Prague as early as possible start (ideally by 8am).

We highly recommend at least one of the 3 different tours offered of this remarkable castle (second only to Prague Castle in the Czech Republic for its splendor). These tours last about 1 hour, and are available only with guides provided by the Castle. The earliest tours usually have fewer participants, while tours that after 10am can have as many as 25 participants. 

Besides the tour(s) of the Krumlov Castle, there is an optional tour of the historic Eggenburg Brewery. This is a real hit for beer enthusiasts.

If at all possible, stop for an early lunch, or bring a bagged lunch. The best place for this is along the river, or on the terrace above the river. Regardless, you can be sure to find some wonderful views of the town and castle.

A casual walking tour (with frequent stops for shopping) is ideal following lunch. A tour of Krumlov's historic center typically takes about 2 hours. A guide would be able to take you directly to the particular highlights, shops or galleries you are most interested in. If you have no preference, we can make many recommendations.

Finally, Český Krumlov is well known among Czechs as a river town. Thus, it will come as no surprise that a short raft excursion is proffered for the more adventurous. Get the full Czech experience, float through Krumlov on the Vltava River.
