Overview
This UNESCO fairytale town curls within a tight bend of the Vltava River, dominated by a sprawling Renaissance castle with a unique baroque theatre. Český Krumlov's cobbled lanes, red rooftops, and riverside charm make it one of Central Europe's most enchanting small towns.
Getting around
The tiny historic center is entirely walkable, with river rafting and canoeing popular in summer.
Local etiquette
Respect the small town's residents by keeping noise down at night and not blocking narrow lanes for photos.
Safety
Český Krumlov is extremely safe, with crime limited to rare petty theft in peak crowds. The steep cobblestones can be slippery when wet.
