What to bring

  • Have a valid ID or passport with you, as it may be requested for verification during the excursion.

  • If you plan to use the student discount, make sure you bring your ISIC card and be prepared to present it before the tour starts.

  • Keep some Czech koruna on hand because smaller vendors and festival stalls commonly accept cash only.

  • Choose sturdy, closed-toe footwear, as the sloping cobblestones throughout Český Krumlov can be uneven and require firm support.

  • Pack a warm layer or light jacket, since temperatures in South Bohemia tend to be cooler and breezier than in Prague, even in warmer months.

  • Bring a compact umbrella or lightweight raincoat, as brief rain showers can appear without warning, especially during spring and autumn.

What’s not allowed

  • Avoid bringing large suitcases or oversized luggage, as these cannot be taken on the tour vehicle; only small bags that fit easily on board are permitted.

  • Drones are not allowed in Český Krumlov without special authorization, as the old town is part of a protected UNESCO heritage zone.

Accessibility

  • Please note that this tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. The medieval streets of Český Krumlov are often steep, narrow, and surfaced with uneven stone.

Additional information

  • The tour begins exactly at 8:45am, so arriving 10 to 15 minutes early is recommended to ensure a smooth start.

  • Your guide will meet you at Na Příkopě 23, Praha 1, a centrally located meeting point that is easily accessible by both tram and metro.

  • Travel time between Prague and Český Krumlov is approximately 2.5 hours each way, though it may vary depending on road conditions.

  • The guided segments may be delivered in two languages, so expect a bilingual commentary during the tour.

  • Some parts of the castle complex are not accessible on Mondays during the winter season, and the castle museum and tower remain closed entirely from December 22, 2025, to January 1, 2026.

  • If your visit falls on June 19 or 20, please note that the Five-Petalled Rose Festival takes place on these dates. Entry to the historic center requires a festival ticket costing 500 CZK (about €23), which must be paid in cash to your guide before entering the Old Town.
