Krumlov, a dreamy town surrounded by mountains and rivers

Krumlov, an ancient town in South Bohemia, is about 180 kilometers away from the capital Prague, which also nestles on the Vltava River. In Czech, the literal meaning of Krumlov is 'shoal in the river bend', which vividly describes the environmental characteristics of this mini ancient town. The Vltava River bends in a U-shape here, and the center of the U-shape, or the ancient town area surrounded by the river, is filled with historical buildings dating back to the 14th century; on the hills outside the U-shape, there is Krumlov Castle, second only to Prague Castle in scale, and the castle garden. Krumlov has a kind of beauty that is so rich that it cannot be diluted, with beautiful scenes everywhere. If you stay in a small guest house by the river for a night, it would be even better - the window of your room is likely to be a painting; on your pillow, the murmuring sound of the Vltava River will enter your dream...

Prague Castle 📍Address: Castle District 11908 Prague 1, Czech Republic ⏰ Opening hours: 06:00-22:00 year-round 🎫 Tickets: 250 CZK As one of the largest castle complexes in the world, Prague Castle is truly magnificent! It is recommended to enter at 7-8am to avoid the tourist crowd. Wander the Royal Palace, St. Vitus Cathedral, and the Royal Garden. Overlooking the entire city of Prague, the red roof with blue sky makes you simply don’t want to leave after taking pictures. Many corners of the castle can be explored slowly, as well as small cafes and souvenir shops, which are perfect for a leisurely morning walk. 2.

Every time, the clock tower is crowded with tourists waiting for the astronomical clock performance. Robot dolls appear and tell the time, which is super historical. There is also a market, specialty restaurants and snack bars next to the astronomical clock, where you can enjoy the classic street view while eating pizza.

The castle is like a fairy tale royal palace, with colorful exterior walls, and when the weather is nice, the whole castle is reflected on the river, which feels fantastic. The castle area allows you to climb up to see a panoramic view of the town in the distance, the autumn leaves are colorful, great for beautiful photos. It is recommended to allow more time, there are many specialty cafes and craft shops near the castle, you can walk slowly, slowly feel the lazy atmosphere of the European town. Transportation & itinerary Tips The whole journey is really cheap and convenient - whether the city subway, bus or intercity train, the Czech public transportation CP value is off the charts!

Dining recommendation: There are many authentic small shops near the Old Town Square, recommend trying the Czech stew beef with bread (Svíčková), warming the heart, pure taste. There are many dessert shops in the town of Krumlov, Trdelník (hollow sweet bread) crispy on the outside and fragrant on the inside, after eating more travel real feeling. Practical tips 1. The castle has the least crowds in the morning or before closing time and is most comfortable for photography. 2. Astronomical clock show It is recommended to arrive at the card location 10 minutes in advance. 3. Krumlov Castle is not open in winter, remember to check the time before you go.
