Spend a full day exploring two of South Bohemia’s most charming towns, traveling from Prague in an air-conditioned bus that departs from Revoluční.
Walk through Český Krumlov with your guide and explore its courtyards, Lazebnicky Bridge, and the Church of St. Vitus while hearing how the Vltava River shaped the town’s past.
Look through the castle's upper courtyards, terraces, and viewpoints between April and October, or visit the Castle Museum during the winter months to learn how the estate evolved over time.
Continue to České Budějovice for a guided walk across its grand main square, stopping by the Black Tower, Town Hall, and Samson Fountain as your guide explains the city’s royal foundations.
Add a lunch option if you want to enjoy a warm meal and a beer or drink of your choice before continuing your visit through South Bohemia.

What to bring
-
Choose comfortable walking shoes, as both towns have uneven cobblestones, sloped pathways, and large pedestrian zones.
-
Pack a light jacket or warm layer, because temperatures in South Bohemia are often cooler and windier than in Prague, especially near the river or in shaded parts of town.
-
Carry a compact umbrella or raincoat, since quick rain showers can occur at any time of year, and covered spots may be limited.
-
Bring a valid ISIC card if you plan to use the student discount, as it must be shown before the tour begins.
-
Bring personal essentials in a small day bag, as large luggage is not suitable for walking through narrow streets and historic areas.
What's not allowed
-
Large suitcases or bulky luggage cannot be taken on the tour vehicle or through the historic centers, so only bring compact personal items.
-
Food and drinks are not allowed inside specific museum interiors or chateau areas when open for viewing.
Accessibility
- This tour is not wheelchair accessible, as both towns have steep inclines, uneven cobblestones, and narrow medieval streets that are difficult to navigate.
Additional information
-
During the winter season, from November 1 to March 31, the interiors of the Český Krumlov chateau are closed, though exterior areas and scenic viewpoints remain accessible.
