State Castle and Chateau Český Krumlov

6.7
4.5/5
324 reviews
Krumlov Castle was built in 1204 and is the largest castle in Bohemia except Prague Castle. The biggest highlight of the castle is to climb to the top of the painted tower, overlooking the whole town, and stand on a red roof. The guided tour of the castle is mainly divided into several parts, such as the castle, the tower, and the museum. In the Middle Ages, the castle was the residence of Duke Krumlov, and in addition to being able to climb to the top, the painted tower is also very artistic and worth watching. To this day, the castle still preserves the crown of the Kingdom of Bohemia, a well-preserved Baroque theater, some original sets and props, and a collection of more than 4,000 paintings from Italy, Germany, the Netherlands and other countries from the 16th to 18th centuries. width.Cesky Krumlov · 254m from downtown

Český Krumlov Castle sits atop the town, accessible by a covered bridge overlooking the Vltava River's bend. The castle museum displays some antique furniture and weapons, but the most worthwhile attraction is the tower, from which one can climb and see a cluster of red rooftops. The rear garden is meticulously manicured, with a pond reflecting the trees. The castle theater is usually closed, only accessible from the outside. A complete tour of the castle and town takes about half a day. Walking back to the old town across the bridge, you'll pass many shops selling amber and puppets.

The Cathedral of St. Vitus in the Czech Republic is an important late Gothic building and a Czech National Cultural Monument. The current construction dates from 1407 to 1438, with the last major phase being the neo-Gothic reconstruction in the 19th century, when the original Baroque onion-domed tower was demolished and replaced with the current neo-Gothic tower.

Walk through the semicircular battlement gallery and come to the viewing platform of the castle garden, where you can overlook the entire town. The Vltava River flows through the center of the town in an S shape. The orange-red roofs that fill the picture, the painted towers and churches in the distance are like a colorful oil painting full of three-dimensional sense.

Located in the Market Square, the Town Hall is a white building. To be honest, the buildings here are all over the city. The white three-story building is the Town Hall, with the Prague national emblem and the CK town emblem on the building. The Town Hall is a 14th-century Gothic building It seems that you can't go in to visit. I walked around but couldn't find the entrance. There was a police car parked at the door. It's peaceful [laughing and crying]...

This square is the liveliest and most festive place in the whole town. It is naturally much smaller than squares in big cities, but it has a wide variety of street art performances and many shops.

I realized that I didn't take a photo of this attraction. It's right in the center of the square, so it's also the gathering place for tour groups. There's a cinnamon roll place next to it that tastes really good.

Can this bridge be called a "bridge"? It is just a wooden plank bridge, and only pedestrians can pass through. But it is indeed the most important bridge on the Vltava River in CK. Every tourist will walk across this bridge to the castle on the other side of the river.

We choose the horse carriage ride up, it was €8 a person. It took around 20 minutes and we enjoyed the forest view. Make sure to arrive and park at least an hour early. The entrance time is exact to every 5 minutes for crowd control. The entrance ticket includes an audio set and takes around 30 minutes. You are moved thru the rooms rather quickly. There are free lockers at information at the entrance area if needed. No pictures can be taken during the tour. **not handicapped friendly ** must be able to walk for 2-3 hours and climb up and down many flights of stairs. There are no elevators. We planned to walk down but it began to rain. So we took the horse carriage again -/€4/person.
