Located in the region of Bohemia, the beautiful walled city of Cesky Krumlov is the second most popular attraction in the Czech Republic after Prague. The center of the city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is well deserving of the designation. Visitors will feel they have stepped back into the 14th Century when they stroll the perfectly
preserved labyrinth of laneways in the center of town. Many of the homes and buildings date from the Renaissance and contain shops of varying quality.
Attractions that entice a visitor are the Minorite Monastry, the Convent of the Poor Clares, The Church of St Jost, a Marionette museum and the Egon Scheile Centrum Gallery.
Cesky Krumlov can be crowded with tour buses in the summer but outside peak visiting times, a peaceful air descends. Blessed with an abundance of fine restaurants and stellar accommodation options, travelers are well provided for. The River Vltava makes an oxbow bend almost entirely circling the city and kayakers and canoeist can be seen floating by on occasion.
Looming over the Cesky Krumlov is Krumlov Chateau. The second largest castle in all of Bohemia, this sprawling building is a must see on every visitors agenda. Fantastic views out over the city can be had from the Most Na Plasti walkway just past the main castle buildings.
Cesky Krumlov is a wonderful place to soak up the atmosphere and wonder what stories the 700 year old walls could tell.
