Cesky Krumlov is one of Central Europe's most complete medieval castle towns, its 13th-century castle complex and baroque gardens towering above a tight meander of the Vltava river. The entire historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the castle -- the second-largest in the Czech Republic after Prague Castle -- takes a full day to explore properly.
Most groups visit Cesky Krumlov as a day trip from Prague (170 km north, 2 to 2.5 hours) or from the Austrian border (Salzburg 130 km west, Linz 95 km north-west). The town itself has very limited coach parking and a restricted access zone: coaches drop passengers at the designated arrival area outside the historic centre and collect from the same point.
The castle complex contains 40 palace buildings across 6 courtyards and covers 10 hectares. The Baroque theatre (one of Europe's best-preserved) and the castle gardens with their revolving auditorium are highlights for cultural groups. Guided group tours in English, German, and Czech run throughout the day; pre-booking is essential for groups of 10 or more.
The Vltava river wrapping around the old town offers rafting and canoe excursions, popular with younger groups and incentive travel programmes. Canoe hire companies are clustered just outside the historic centre. Coaches can park in the main arrival area while the group paddles the easy 5 km section through the town's meander.
Groups basing themselves in Cesky Krumlov for a longer itinerary can reach Ceske Budejovice (25 km north, Budvar brewery), Hluboka nad Vltavou castle (30 km north), and the Austrian border villages of the Bohemian Forest within 30 minutes.
As a rough guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) in Cesky Krumlov runs around 6,900 - 12,200 CZK per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 10,100 - 18,200 CZK per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 13,800-24,500 CZK per day. Day-trip pricing from Prague or Vienna includes distance travel time and waiting time at the castle. The final figure depends on your route, the date, and how long you need the vehicle.
