We were at Cesky Krumlov on a Monday which is when the castle rooms are closed (fee applies). One advantage with this is that there were less tourists (though still quite a few). However, the bell tower and museum were open and are worth a visit. The view from the tower is great and it was worth paying the small... More

We were allowed in for a special tour with our group during the winter when the castle is usually closed. So we didn't get to see all the rooms, we had a rather limited tour but it was so worth it. The castle does get cold in the winter so bundle up if you are taking this tour in the... More

Who could ask for more? There's a legend of a White Lady, history that ranges from a mad illegitimate son of a Hapsburg king to a doctor who fled the Nazis, medieval and Renaissance architecture, and live bears in the moat. We took the English-speaking tour through some of the interior of the castle and really enjoyed both the beauty... More

I was surprised at my age how much I accomplished. I climbed the tower and the view was beautiful. Narrow circular staircase to the top.

The tour of the castle isn't easy to follow if you don't already know a little history of the town and the noble families that controlled it. But the inside is worth seeing, as it shows you the differences in the Renaissance and Baroque periods quite nicely. Like most castles, this one has some pretty furniture, tapestries, and paintings.

Some books will tell you need more than a day for this trip, but you don't if you take a bus tour. Our trip with City tours (also called Martin tour) was 800 Kr per person, and was worth it. It's a three hour trip each way but during that time you get to hear info about the Czech Republic... More

visiting cesky krumlov is worth doing a day trip to, an ancient town and castle is really quaint. best to hire a tour bus to take you out as its easier and quicker than getting the train.
