Explore the unforgettable medieval gem of Český Krumlov as you travel between Prague and Linz. The town is a UNESCO-listed jewel, centred on a 700-year-old chateau that forms the second largest castle complex in Czechia. Narrow lanes open onto charming squares lined with colourful, historic houses, while river bends and narrow alleys create picture-perfect viewpoints at every turn.
Wander through streets that still echo with centuries of history, pause in atmospheric medieval taverns and absorb the unique ambience that makes this town so special. On the route you will also pass through České Budějovice, where the original Budweiser Budvar brewery offers an opportunity to learn about Czech brewing traditions and sample distinctive regional beer. For those seeking a further historic highlight, Hluboká Castle sits like a fairytale on the landscape and can be visited as an additional stop.
Throughout the visit, expect plentiful photo opportunities, rich architectural detail from Gothic to Renaissance periods, and a relaxed pace that allows time to explore hidden corners, artisan shops and riverside vantage points. The journey combines cultural depth with scenic travel, making it an ideal way to experience authentic South Bohemian history en route between two major Central European cities.
