Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
The Church of St. Vitus in Cesky Krumlov is a remarkable Roman Catholic church with a rich history dating back to the 13th century. Its Gothic architecture, adorned with frescos and a 17th-century altar, stands out in the cityscape alongside the old castle. The church is known for its towering roof and lavishly decorated nave, as well as being the final resting place of prominent Bohemian families such as the Rosenbergs and Schwarzenbergs.
It’s a beautiful cathedral with typical interior for such kind of churches. It stands on a hill, so it’s somewhat hard to climb. The entrance is free.

This is the only church I had a chance to visit when I popped by the town of Cesky Krumlov. As per all the churches I visited in this country, the simple exterior facade belies the beautiful interior within. I love the high ceiling, the prayer altars and how calm and serene it was once I entered the building. Definitely one of the must visit places in this town.

A beautiful church. The cathedral is the samet of many places in the small town of Krumlov. Interesting architecture, a memorable spire, another building from past centuries that fits so perfectly into the atmosphere of the city.
Witold D — Google review
Huge and beautiful medieval church, built in early 1300's and dedicated to Saint Vitus. Only a quite small part of the church is possible to visit, and inside you can't really understand the true size of the church. But when you go outside, across the river, you will understand the magnitude.

Excellent architecture and very peaceful. You can also enjoy the river view behind the church.

Beautiful church. This was built in 1309 and was the Family church of the Rosenbergs and several family members are buried in the church. It is late Gothic with Renaissance and Baroque additional. Stunning altar. We loved our visit. It is free to enter and highly recommend a visit.

Visited the Church of St. Vitus in Český Krumlov and it was magical! The Gothic architecture is stunning and the interior is full of beautiful frescoes, stained glass, and detailed altars. The peaceful atmosphere makes it the perfect spot to pause and soak in history. Don’t miss the tower for breathtaking views of the old town and the Vltava River. A must-see stop in Český Krumlov!

The Egon Schiele Art Centrum is a modern gallery located in a renovated 16th-century brewery in Cesky Krumlov. It showcases the works of Austrian painter Egon Schiele, as well as rotating contemporary art exhibits. The centrum also features a shop and cafe for visitors to enjoy.
A very beautiful museum with various art installations. The most important was that of the resident artist Egon Schiele but the Japanese sculptor Tets Ohnari was a great surprise. His work was amazing. The staff were very pleasant and the souvenir shop downstairs well stocked with posters and other memorabilia.
Aura R — Google review
I don’t recommend this place. The name Egon Schiele is used simply to attract people rather than because there are actual pieces. Not only is there a massive lack of originals but the photos they have of his works are bad quality and black and white. Which is almost ironic. There is one original sketchbook. It’s sat in a glass box, stuck on a single page. The other pages aren’t even photographed. There are letters. No translation. Not even rewritten. It’s just miserable. If you know nothing about Egon Schiele it might not be that bad??? But if you do know something and you visited for him? Skip this place. It’s a waste of time and money.
M. S — Google review
Absolutely stunning space in an old brewery building! Apart from a biographical Egon Schiele exhibition, there are temporary exhibitions of different Czech artists, both very good level. Obviously, the Schiele original paintings can be seen in Vienna, and Krumlov centre is more in memory of the artist, he is an inspiration. A good souvenir shop and a lovely cafe in the yard complete the picture.
Jaga — Google review
Amazing gallery, exhibitions on 3 floors. Entrance fee is around 10€, payment by card possible. At the entrance there is also a large gift shop, in the courtyard there is also a nice cafe. Definitely not to be missed when visiting the city!
N. K — Google review
Firstly, the staff is unfriendly. Secondly, if you are thinking this is a Schiele exhibition, think again. There do seem to be two very tiny originals, but that's it. Everything displayed can be found in the Internet. The paintings are either prints or projections on glass. It was a waste of time and money.
Richard ( — Google review
From an ethical standpoint, not just “modern standards", Egon Schiele’s documented behavior toward very young girls raises serious concerns. We know that: He deliberately sought out teenagers and children as models for sexually explicit work. He allowed minors into his studio where erotic material was present. He crossed boundaries of power, age, and consent in ways that today we would absolutely call exploitative and abusive. The fact that he wasn’t convicted of sexual assault doesn’t erase the ethical problem: he placed vulnerable young people in sexualized situations for his own art and gratification. So from an ethical perspective, regardless of time period, his conduct fits what we would now call predatory and abusive behavior.
Linda K — Google review
If you are not familiar with Egon Schiele life&art then you can get a good overview an impression there. The other artists weren’t my taste. The museum shop is really good.
Árpád K — Google review
A bit disappointing in that there was so little on display by Schiele himself. The temporary exhibitions were a bit meh but I suppose they were just not really my cup of tea. All a bit dingy and not very well lit.

The Regional Museum in the Czech Krumlov, located in a former school building, offers an insightful journey through the regional and local history of Cesky Krumlov. Housed in a rebuilt Baroque structure of the former Jesuit College, it showcases collections and exhibits tracing the area's history from prehistoric times to the late nineteenth century. One of its highlights is an impressive ceramic model of the city, claimed to be the largest of its kind globally.
If you're a history buff like me, you're going to enjoy this museum. It does a good job showing the history of Cesky Krumlov.
Fil B — Google review
If you want to get a comprehensive and detailed information about the rich history of the city and the region, then be sure to visit this Regional Museum. It features rich archaeological collections, art and crafts, ethnography and folk medicine, as well as a large ceramic model of Český Krumlov itself.
Witold D — Google review
A nice-to-go regional museum to take a look at old Czech folks lives(and the history of this town too). It had a wide range of exhibition considering the location, and provided detailed English translated explanation for displayed pieces. The entrance fee is cheap. 60Kč per one adult. It has a clean and modern restroom inside too. I recommend you to visit here!
Garam L — Google review
Topics covered and artifacts displayed here are just what one would expect. They follow the beginnings and the development of the city up until present. I commend them that the information presented is in great detail. However it doesn't really have the vibes of a modern museum. I felt a kind of information overload as a lot of documents clippings letters are just presented as they are in glass cases and therefore very indigestible. The big model of the city is quite amazing but then again there are no audio visual effects or at least some lights to guide your eye to wander over it. In short my interest wasn't piqued and I would just have a quick walk through. That may be why I was the only person inside.

Castle
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled majestically above the Vltava River, the State Castle and Chateau Český Krumlov is a stunning testament to centuries of history and architectural evolution. As the largest castle complex in Eastern Europe, it offers visitors an enchanting glimpse into the lives of Bohemia's aristocracy. While its origins trace back to 1240, much of what captivates today’s guests was constructed during the 17th century.
Nice castle. I personally felt it was larger than Prague castle. It’s a small beautiful old town. Most people perhaps due day trips here. I wouldn’t mind spending a couple of nights from peace and breath of fresh air. Recommended…!

"A Medieval Gem with Breathtaking Views" The Český Krumlov Castle is truly one of the most enchanting places in the Czech Republic. The combination of medieval fortress, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, and the charming old town below makes it feel like stepping back in time. The castle grounds are vast and full of surprises — from courtyards and historic halls to the beautiful castle tower with its colorful facade. Climbing the tower is absolutely worth it for the panoramic view over Český Krumlov’s red rooftops and winding river — it’s picture-perfect. The castle gardens are also lovely for a peaceful stroll, especially in spring and summer. Guided tours of the interior give fascinating insight into the history of the noble families who lived here, and the preservation of the rooms is impressive. Even if you don’t take a tour, just wandering the grounds and soaking up the atmosphere is an unforgettable experience. A must-visit when in South Bohemia — magical, historic, and full of charm.

Cesky Krumlov it is the most romantic place in the Czech Republic, you can visit it both in summer and winter during the holidays. The castle is huge and offers a great view of the city. On the waterfront there are many very picturesque restaurants where you can eat well.
Monica A — Google review
A large castle, that was built originally in the early 1300's and later rebuilt in renessaince ans baroque styles. Really beautiful and amazing, the only negative thing is that you have to buy several tickets if you want to see everything, as there is no combined ticket. You can visit the courtyards for free. The museum and the tower is possible to visit without guide but to the rooms of the castle there are only guided rooms - but definitely worth going. Great views to the town from the tower! Don't miss this while in town!

A beautiful and interesting castle in the Czech Republic. It has a long history that stimulates my curiosity, too. If Prague is one of the most popular places to visit in the Czech Republic, then this place might be the most beautiful and impressive.

If anything, the views of the town are what I would go back for again. Just surreal. Makes you think about how life was for the citizens of those days. The air is filled with the moisture and freshness of the running river; not to mention the sound of it flowing. Magical place. Go early in the morning, before the tour buses from Prague arrive.

Well worth a visit to this UNESCO site. Some good restaurants and good beer too all at reasonable prices. Be prepared for some long walks but there is plenty to see especially the castle built into the rock. Some splendid views too. However, I was not impressed by the bears kept in a pit!

Museum Fotoatelier Seidel is a must-visit for photography enthusiasts, offering a glimpse into the 19th-century roots of European photography. Housed in the original studios of Josef and Frantisek Seidels, this captivating museum showcases historic photos, glass plate negatives, cameras, and darkroom equipment. The preserved studio provides an immersive experience with its original furnishings and personal artifacts. Visitors can also explore the nearby town park and the multifunctional cultural space at the historical synagogue.
Fascinating insight into the daily life of a local photographer. The museum is his actual old residence, portrait studio and developing room. You can book to get dressed up and have your picture taken, as if you were a client of Josef Siedel. Visited as part of the CK Tourist Card which gives you free access to 5 museums/ galleries, so can't remember how much it cost. Audio guide included. German and English speaking at the cash desk. Ask for the key to use the toilets in a separate out building, which were very clean!

I really enjoyed this museum. The house, the furniture and the objects on display are mostly original. Even the placements of the objects follows the original. The restoration is nicely done and it allowed me to have a glimpse into life as it was during the period. It is also an interesting story of the photographer and his son.

One of the best places in Cesky Krumlov. I love the idea of using it as a museum on one hand and also as a photo studio on the other. Thanks to it everything seems to be so lively, so true. Moreover, there is a very nice garden, where you can relax and feel like at home. We had the tour with an audioguide, with a real guide it must be even more better.

The authentic place tells the story of the photographer family Seidel. You can experience the zeitgeist via hundreds of pictures, photo cameras and further equipment used to run a photo studio in the late 1800s and early 20th century. The museum was awarded several times. The place is art deco, very stylish, features a multi language audio guide and is run by very friendly and sympathetic people. This definitely is worth a visit.

We read other reviews and visited because it was a museum not to be missed if in Cesky Krumlov. I am so glad we did. It was very interesting. It is very well presented and really does give an insight into photography. Having paid at the first house and collecting a headset in our language, we entered the main house. Each room was numbered, and selecting that number on the headset gave you an account of what was in the room. One of the rooms had a lot of artefacts and you could sit and watch a film, again in your own language by selection. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and gardens and glad we got to explore this house.

Švejk Restaurant is a rustic and traditional eatery in the Czech Republic that offers delicious local cuisine and a relaxed ambience. The menu features classic dishes such as cream and potato soup, duck with potato dumplings, horseradish, smoked meat specials, roasted turkey with stewed plums, schnitzel with potato salad, plum dumplings, and more. The portions are generous and the prices are reasonable for the quality of food served.
We were a little reluctant to try out this place as it was lacking an outdoor terrace, however we trusted some recommendations and went there for lunch and what a pleasant surprise! The food options were delicious, particularly worth metioning the pork ribs and the superb dessert (dumplings with marzipan, just a delight to the palate!!!). Very lovely place and pleasant staff. Highly recommended!

Papa's Living Restaurant is a popular dining spot located near the Lazebnicky bridge on the castle side of the river. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes including Italian pasta, Spanish ham, arugula, steaks, fish, pork and pizza. The comfortable atmosphere with a painted arched ceiling adds to the dining experience. Visitors can also enjoy an extensive wine list and full service bar. One visitor particularly enjoyed the local fish and roast beef at this riverside restaurant.
Stopped by for a quick bite and was pleasantly surprised! The burger was massive and filling, but still reasonably priced. I tried the iced tea, which had a refreshing minty taste. They also had a good variety of lemonades to choose from like mango and lemon. Bonus points for the super clean bathrooms. Definitely a spot I’d come back to!

Amazing food and service. I had the svickova which in simple terms is beef in sauce served with some potato dumplings and cranberry jam. It was awesome and so was the beer and spaghetti. One red flag : I had read that the waiters force you to tip and yeah it was true. the waiters do push you to tip them which i found a little weird.

Small gem of a restaurant hidden away but fabulous on every front. Food was great and very fresh, perhaps the very best tomato soup we’ve EVER had. Pasta dishes were great. The wine choices were spot on: our server carefully listened to our wine preferences and suggested local ones the were perfect. We had three bottles (party of six) and wonderful after dinner local grappas and brandies. Overall a fantastic night! (Roughy $50 per person including a 20% tip!)

Pub
Hospoda Na Louži is a traditional Czech restaurant that offers great national food and a cozy atmosphere. The staff, while efficient, could be more friendly and welcoming. The setting is fabulous, and the pork schnitzel is highly recommended. The place has a great atmosphere with friendly staff and delicious food. It's also known for its rustic cool environment and cheap beer. This old-school Czech bar provides a unique atmosphere along with classic Czech food that comes highly recommended.
Being a famous UNESCO site packed with tourists and day-trippers.. Krumlov’s medieval downtown can easily trap you in the usual tourist spots. Not so with my favorite "Na Louži". I’ve been there several times for lunch and even stayed twice in their hotel. Honestly.. I was never disappointed. Really do appreciate the pub as a whole.. it feels like stepping back in time to the First Republic. The menu is tempting, very local and pairs perfectly with Eggenberg lager. Try the garlic carp or Czech potato pancake.. you’ll be happy you did. As for the hotel it has the same authentic and original vibe as the pub. Can’t wait for my next visit. Thank you!

Friendly and quick service in a cozy, traditional setting. They offer daily lunch specials as well as a full à la carte menu. The food was tasty and well-prepared. The reason for a slightly lower rating is that they accept only cash (including euros, but at a poor exchange rate), and there was an additional charge for the fish due to its weight. It’s unclear whether this is always the case, but the portion seemed average compared to other restaurants. Overall, still a good place to enjoy a local meal.
Matjaž B — Google review
We ordered dumplings and fried cheese – an absolute classic. Unfortunately, the dishes were, at best, just okay. I really don't understand the praise in other reviews. Maybe we came on a bad day, but I received two types of dumplings in one dish – some fresher, others less so. The menus were dirty. On the plus side, the prices were reasonable. A dish with non-alcoholic beer came to around 300 CZK. Overall impression: rather mediocre.

Since our family doesn’t speak Czech, it took us a while to understand the menu, but the staff patiently waited and didn’t rush us at all. They were kind the whole time and didn’t pressure us to leave a tip, which we really appreciated. It’s definitely a restaurant I’d love to come back to!🥰

The main waitstaff slammed down our beers so forcefully, I thought she was about to smash the glasses! It was so bad it was comical. We're still talking about it a month later! The food was nice. The beer was great. The building is quaint. Go for the food and the atmosphere if you can hack the extremely bad service. Sheesh!

Typicall avarage czech pub. I really loved the interior, general vibe and also the service was nice. Food was somehow avarage - below avarage, reminded me meals from pubs 20 years ago (not in the bad way necessarily). But I really enjoyed the trout and bramboráky (potato pancakes), the pork was bit tough but ok to eat. Furthermore I enjoyed the wide variety of their offer. Even though also this is bit tricky, combining with the pace they brought to us our meals, already shows quality won't be the highest. And really somehow it had generic taste - but if you wanna try avarage local czech old-fashioned or nostalgic cuisine (not expecting home-made or some fine dining), I can recommend that.

Laibon is a charming restaurant located in Cesky Krumlov, offering a delightful dining experience. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the restaurant has managed to maintain its welcoming atmosphere. The owner, David, warmly greeted visitors and provided helpful suggestions for securing a table despite early closing times due to curfew restrictions.
The only vegetarian restaurant in Krumlov. We came here for the vegetarian food the first day, and came back the next day for the amazing, friendly and flexible service and the good vibes from the staff. Amazing place, can recommend to anyone visiting as a fair priced and very tasty alternative to the heavy and meaty local cuisine in Krumlov.

An absolute haven for Asian tourists fed up with the often-cold service and the mandatory tipping pressure in this region. Laibon stands out as an exceptional choice. ​The owner's hospitality is incredibly genuine and warm—he even spoke a few words of Taiwanese, which was delightful. ​The food itself is perfectly suited for the Asian palate, and the prices are reasonable (mid-range for Český Krumlov), offering fantastic overall value. ​Here’s the key difference: Unlike places that demand a tip for mediocre service, here, the service is so attentive and heartfelt that you will want to tip them generously. This is a restaurant where you truly feel respected and cared for. ​A Small Note on Seating: I had reserved an outdoor table but were seated indoors. Although initially confused, I realized it was quite cold that night, and I ended up being very grateful for the warm indoor seating. It would be helpful if the staff could clarify their outdoor seating policy when confirming reservations.

Bar
Apotheka Cafe Bar, located in a former pharmacy, is now a popular craft cocktail bar that offers an extensive and impressive cocktail list. The bar features a long handmade wooden bar where enthusiastic bartenders skillfully concoct delicious drinks. Visitors are encouraged to try the unique cocktails and can even request custom creations based on their preferences. With its historical setting and exceptional drinks, Apotheka Cafe Bar is considered one of the best spots in town for enjoying extraordinary cocktails.
Out of a pure coincidence, we chose to try this bar and thankfully we did because it was perfect. Coctails are carefully crafted with precision, unique blends that create a festive aftertaste. We first tried Basil Grande and Oak Negroni. Basil grande felt like you are inside a basil garden. The smell takes you to summertime. However the taste is quite different. There’s barely the taste of raw greenness. I’d totally recommend. Oak Negroni was rather sweet, tasteful, small sips with a small stop at the back of the mouth lets you fully explore the layers. We ordered shepher’s pie to share. It was alright. Nothing special or out of the ordinary. Potato layer was thick, meat was barely there but the food is not our criteria here. We went on with Chateau Balsam and Rum Old Fashioned. Chateau Balsam is way out of my classical choices but I enjoyed it very much. These creations separate themselves from the classics due to the aftertaste. It is to die for. Same goes for Rum Old Fashioned, too. Staff were knowledgeable, they answered all of our questions, service was fast. We visited the bar at 15:00 so it was easier to find a spot. Taking photos is prohibited so we first asked the staff whether we could. They were kind enough to let us. Interior is quaint, old-timey and nicely decorated. Music could be enhanced obviously. It was a nice experience and I’d visit this place again to try seasonal offerings.

Best crafted pinacolada ever, if you like refreshing and candy like style. Also try negroni, and other signature menu quite lovely. There're also some rules though so better read and understand them first. Still really lovely place after long day of Prague. Recommend ❤️

Having stayed in Cesky Krumlov for a couple of nights and thoroughly enjoying every single moment, the service and atmosphere have been so wonderful. Tonight we decided to go for a cocktail after dinner . Asked at the bar do they have a menu and the waiter said yes, and stood staring at me. Offered no menu. Anyhow we ordered our cocktails believing perhaps the attitude was one of confidence due to the cocktails being wonderful. That however was not the case. The Almond Cigar was more akin to a watery pear juice and the Old Fashioned was pure alcohol with not an hint of orange! When leaving from the outside area, heading inside to pay, same waiter waved wildly to indicate we needed to pay. Empty on a Friday night for a reason. Worst experience in an otherwise wonderful holiday in Cesky Krumlov!

I loved their cocktails. It's small place with a good variety of cocktails. The one with Chardonnay and the classic White Russian were great. A must try for sure. Gave 4 stars as they messed up with one of my orders - served beer instead of a cocktail I ordered. Though, the staff was polite enough to acknowledge and correct the mistake. One suggestion - Staff could be a bit more welcoming, like in other bars of Krumlov.

I wouldn’t bother looking anywhere else for cocktails. These were so bomb! We had a total of 8 different cocktails and 1 shot all were out of this world made with true passion! Unique and delicious, your taste buds will have a party in your mouth!

I ordered the Bloody Mary, and “terrible” isn’t even close to describing how bad it was. It didn’t taste like vodka or anything alcoholic, just an overpowering, undrinkable chilli mix. If you ever get the chance to try it, do yourself a favor and skip it.
