Excellent! There are no other words to describe this treasure of a place. Charming narrow cobbled streets with crooked houses and a medievall castle set on the rocks in the centre of the town, overlooking the Vltava river winding right underneath it. If you are in the Czech Republic, this is a must see place.

Spectacular setting, very special. When in Prague I asked a number of people where we should visit - this was first on all their lists. Imagine a river shaped as a double s, with steep sides going down to the river. And along these steep banks are castles and churches and restaurants and pensions and happy people. It is really...

This historical city has fun for all. Bring hour swimming suit and walking shoes. There is plenty to do and much to see and eat. This is a must see location for all. The town is easy to maneuver on foot and the river offers a fun way to get wet and see the city.

We did a day trip to Cesky Krumlov from Passau where our river cruise had docked and we could have stayed much longer! It's such a beautiful, perfect, little medieval town full of character, atmosphere and lots to see and do. We walked up the hill to the castle and entered the town from the castle - just gorgeous! We... More

I visited this enchanting Mediaeval town for the first time in November 2011, flew out again for New Year 2012 (champagne and fireworks in the Castle grounds and have just returned from a third visit. The best way I can describe it is that it's like being in a pop-up fairytale book from my childhood. Any minute I expected to... More

Great beer and wonderful setting. The town itself is enough without visiting the inside of the castle. But be sure to climb the tower

We loved, loved this picturesque little town in the Czech countryside. We first saw it on the Travel Channel and decided to visit during the annual Festival of the Five Petalled Rose which is held every year in June, which coincided with our trip to the Czech Republic. What an experienced it has proved to be! We stayed for two... More

Every street has something to offer. All roads lead somewhere. It's romantic during the day and the night. The view from the inside and from the outside is stunning. The beer is great. The food is... well, I'm Asian so European tastes are generally slightly bland for me, but otherwise it's OK. The shops are cute. I like it. Wear... More
