Bus Hire in Ceske Budejovice

Ceske Budejovice is the capital of South Bohemia and the largest city in the region, best known internationally as the home of Budweiser Budvar -- the original Budweiser lager, brewed here since 1895. The city's Premysl Otakar II Square, measuring 133 by 133 metres, is one of the largest medieval town squares in Central Europe; the Samson Fountain at its centre and the Black Tower (Cerna vez) alongside St Nicholas Cathedral frame a skyline that has remained largely unchanged for four centuries.

Ceske Budejovice is also the natural base for visiting Cesky Krumlov, 25 km south -- the UNESCO castle town that draws over a million visitors a year. The city is 150 km from Prague (1.5 to 2 hours) and 75 km from Linz in Austria (1 hour).

Premysl Otakar II Square and Black Tower

The main square (Nam. Premysla Otakara II) is the heart of the city, ringed by Baroque and Renaissance arcaded houses. The Black Tower (Cerna vez, 72 m) at the north-east corner offers views over the square and the Vltava-Malse confluence. Coaches park on the Jeronimova ring road encircling the historic centre; groups then walk in through the medieval gate.

Budweiser Budvar Brewery Tour

The Budvar Brewery (Budejovicky Budvar) is 2 km north of the town centre. The guided brewery tour covers the brewing process, the lagering tanks (where beer is stored for 90 days), and the tasting hall. Group tours run daily in Czech and German; English tours require advance booking for groups of 10 or more. Coaches park in the brewery car park on Ul. Karoliny Svetle.

Cesky Krumlov (25 km)

Cesky Krumlov UNESCO castle town is 25 km south of Ceske Budejovice, approximately 30 minutes by coach via the E55. Most groups based in Ceske Budejovice take Cesky Krumlov as a morning or afternoon half-day. The castle, the Vltava river meander, and the Baroque theatre are the main draws.
