Český Krumlov is the jewel of South Bohemia and one of the most picturesque historic towns in Europe, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1992. Its centerpiece is the vast castle complex, the second largest in the Czech Republic after Prague Castle. The castle, with its Baroque theatre, tower, and stunning garden with a revolving auditorium, forms a breathtaking backdrop above the meandering Vltava River. The historic center, with its winding streets, Gothic and Renaissance houses, and romantic corners, has preserved the authentic atmosphere of a medieval town.
Český Krumlov is not just a historical monument – it is a vibrant town full of culture, art, and experiences. Every year, it hosts dozens of festivals and events, including the popular Chamber Music Festival and the Five-Petalled Rose Celebrations, when the town transforms for a weekend back to the Renaissance era. Local galleries, museums, cafés, and artisan workshops complement the cultural scene, making Český Krumlov a place that delights not only history lovers but anyone seeking beauty, atmosphere, and inspiration around every corner.
