From Prague: Český Krumlov & České Budějovice Day Trip

• Spend a full day exploring two of South Bohemia’s most charming towns, traveling from Prague in an air-conditioned bus that departs from Revoluční.
• Walk through Český Krumlov with your guide and explore its courtyards, Lazebnicky Bridge, and the Church of St. Vitus while hearing how the Vltava River shaped the town’s past.
• Look through the castle's upper courtyards, terraces, and viewpoints between April and October, or visit the Castle Museum during the winter months to learn how the estate evolved over time.
• Continue to České Budějovice for a guided walk across its grand main square, stopping by the Black Tower, Town Hall, and Samson Fountain as your guide explains the city’s royal foundations.
• Add a lunch option if you want to enjoy a warm meal and a beer or drink of your choice before continuing your visit through South Bohemia.

What to bring

• Choose comfortable walking shoes, as both towns have uneven cobblestones, sloped pathways, and large pedestrian zones.

• Pack a light jacket or warm layer, because temperatures in South Bohemia are often cooler and windier than in Prague, especially near the river or in shaded parts of town.

• Carry a compact umbrella or raincoat, since quick rain showers can occur at any time of year, and covered spots may be limited.

• Bring a valid ISIC card if you plan to use the student discount, as it must be shown before the tour begins.

• Bring personal essentials in a small day bag, as large luggage is not suitable for walking through narrow streets and historic areas.

What's not allowed

• Large suitcases or bulky luggage cannot be taken on the tour vehicle or through the historic centers, so only bring compact personal items.

• Food and drinks are not allowed inside specific museum interiors or chateau areas when open for viewing.

Accessibility

• This tour is not wheelchair accessible, as both towns have steep inclines, uneven cobblestones, and narrow medieval streets that are difficult to navigate.

Additional information

• During the winter season, from November 1 to March 31, the interiors of the Český Krumlov chateau are closed, though exterior areas and scenic viewpoints remain accessible.

• Expect approximately 2.5 hours of travel each way between Prague and South Bohemia, depending on traffic conditions.

Cancellation is allowed up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Variant-specific cancellation policies may apply.
