Start…read moreby walking up to the castle gardens the long way and then the slight descent to the Castle, which is huge, your view over town will orientate you and you will see the bridge points that cross into the town basin. The castle is huge without going in. The bears in the moat will likely distress you, two live ones, could easily be replaced with statues, onwards tot he shops which are lovely, the cobbled streets and numerous food options. Parking is around the city and easy. We parked in P3 for our circuit and it was also close to our crib. This is a delightful town and henceforth will always be referred to as 'dear old Cesky Krumlov', of course there are lots of tourists so get up early or go out late.

The Cesky Krumlov Castle IS the skyline from a rocky bend in the Vltava River and is the second-largest castle and chateau complex in the Czech Republic after the Prague Castle. Its architecture blends Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles thanks to centuries of development from the 13th to 19th centuries, and its Baroque theatre is one of the most completely preserved in Europe.

Christmas markets! Straight out of a Hallmark movie but with cool architecture. There's even a Christmas street. In love! This is an amazing day trip from Prague.

WOW!!! Words can't describe the charm and beautify of this little historic town. Everything is so…read morelovely, clean, and picturesque. Yes, its definitely touristy, all the locals live on the outskirts, but you'll still love the much smaller crowds compared to Prague, especially in late September when I was there...it never felt crowded like London, Paris, Rome, Prague. The historic buildings, amazing architecture, trees, the Vtlava River, and Cesky Krumlov Castle from above...its all so breathtaking and heavenly, especially for photographers and social media addicts. All the restaurants I ate at were wonderful. Its impossible to accurately write about it...just look all the pictures, and make sure you add Cesky Krumlov to your Czech Republic vacation/holiday.

You'll definitely want to stay at least one night to see this gorgeous town at night...I stayed 2 nights and could've easily stayed a 3rd.
