This was my second time in the old city center. I brought family with and we were able to enjoy much of the cities shops, and food. The castle tour was over, however the grounds were still open to the public. We recommend this location for bridal shots, formal,and for costumers. We saw the bears in the moat. The wonderful... more

As citizen of Czech Republic I was absolutely suprised by the beuaty of this castle. It's upon the river Vltava and view from the castle to the city is astonishing. Guided tours are very well presented and the castle has a lot of monuments behind its walls. I strongly recommend as well as families with children. more

While we were in Český Krumlov, we chose to do "Guided Tour I" of the Castle, part of the UNESCO list of cultural and natural heritage buildings. We began in the Gothic Chateau Chapel of St. George, where the tour guide pointed out to us that the walls are covered with artifical marble... Debbie Travis would have been impressed with... more

We were in Krumlov in May 08. You can see heaps of reviews and pictures on the Internet, just be aware that as many of other things/shops etc in central and eastern Europe this castle was at our visit closed on Mondays. Tower was open but not the castle itself. This is quite a common practice I am from Slovakia... more

Krumlov Castle overlooks the Vltava river and all of Cesky Krumlov below and is worth a stop if you're in town. On your way in, look on both sides of the bridge to find the lazy brown bears "guarding" the castle. Check out the painted exteriors of the round tower and several other castle buildings and consider taking a guided... more

I got there by car with my dear friend Junicchi but there are many tours that depart from Prague, its a looong and boring journey to get there, if you are not habituated to czech roads, I dont recommend to go by yourself, its better to go with a tour, fortunately Junicchi has been in Czech for 2 years so,... more

It's an interesting castle, but not nearly as glorious as it's reviews claim on this website and others. Frankly, we were disappointed; but I guess that's because we bought into the hype. There are 3 tours to take as well as the option of going up the tower. There is no combined ticket entry so the price adds up. We... more

We asked in the reception of our hotel in Prague what castle to visit on our way to Austria. She suggested Cesky Krumlov, and that proved to be a wise choice. We got there at lunchtime an we then realized that Cesky Krumlov has a magnificent castle. It is the second largest one in the Czech Republic after the castle... more
