The 29 best walking spots in Cesky Krumlov

"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.

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 gem of the Czech Republic. We fell in love with this city at first sight. It's so much fun to walk around its picturesque streets, sail on the river and just feel like you're in a magical fairy tale.

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.

An exceptional historical building, beautifully preserved, well-organized tours, at least 2 hours should be taken. I recommend a guided tour for additional explanations. A must visit if you are in Český Krumlov.

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.

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.

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!

Attended a Sunday mass. Many interruptions by tourists. As soon as the service ended, red velvet ropes were used to restrict access.

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.

Highly recommend if you are at all interested in photography. It was amazing seeing an old photo studio just as it was 100 years ago. Fascinating information, lots of antique photographic equipment, and of course, amazing photography to view.

The highlight of my trip, this small museum continues to be a working photography studio with cameras and equipment from the mid 1800s. The house is beautiful and well kept. Make sure to view the attic where the original prints were kept.

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.

This place is an incredibly well preserved time capsule with an amazing collection of items that belonged to the family. You can literally feel the history here. The museum offers an “electronic guide” in English and some other languages. Absolutely recommended if you're interested in photography!

There is a bridge there where you can use it to cross over from the castle grounds to the other side. If you stand in the middle, you can get terrific pictures of the castle. The view of the river from the bridge is a scenic one.

Beautiful classic wooden bridge! Great views of cadtle complex, vltava river, the dam, islands, people with smiles, charming old houses. Incredibly beautiful

One of several bridges of the city and definitely quite busy as it leads to the castle. It provides great views!

Lazebnický Most (Lazarus Bridge) in Český Krumlov is a picturesque and historic bridge that connects the two banks of the Vltava River. The bridge features unique architecture and is one of the city’s most iconic landmarks.

Nice photo spot. No need entrance fees

If you want have a look on the city from different angle take a boat/raft and enjoy it! The city is well prepared for such kind of tourism too and the river is the best to cool down during hot summer days. The city is beautiful from all sides... It's one of real jewels of Czech Republic!

It is a very good place for photos both day and night but it can get very crowded. You should pick your time wisely.

A beautiful medieval square with a fountain and a plague memorial column in the middle. A very popular place, packed with tourists.

One of the standout features of the town is the fountain and plague column located in the main square. The fountain, which dates back to the 17th century, is a stunning piece of Baroque architecture, featuring intricate carvings and a statue of the Virgin Mary on top. The plague column, also known as the Marian Column, was built in the early 18th century as a tribute to the Virgin Mary and a symbol of gratitude for the end of a devastating plague. Both the fountain and plague column are important historical landmarks and offer a glimpse into the town's rich past.

That’s a very typical monument for most European cities

👍

Make sure to take a stroll around here after a visit to the castle complex area. There's nice cafe for you to enjoy the view while taking a break.

classic square quite small in size but there's a mini christmas market in the square rn

Real nice place to enjoy a coffee and to take in the surroundings.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

A neat and small museum that will take you an hour, nicely organized to learn about the history of this beautiful city. I recommend it.

If you are a history lover, then this is definitely the museum for you! The museum presents the detailed history of Český Krumlov.

A very interesting and wide ranging museum with exhibits clearly documented in Czech, English and German. Much variety and particularly fascinating history of ww2 and later. Definitely worth a visit.

Really great museum. Well worth looking at all three floors. Best to start at the top and work down. The local history, photos and displays are very interesting.

Stunning tower located within the Castle area. The views of the city are just breathtaking. It is 162 steps to the top. The walk was not bad at all, but it does get narrow at the top. Few spots to stop along the way and see some of the exhibits. One bell in the tower is from 1406. Amazing. There is also a cool Dungeon established by the Lords of Krumlov. Loved the visit and the views. Requires a ticket to be purchased but that ticket includes the entire castle complex.

Perfect viewpoint overlooking the towns old center. Not a very hard climb (150+ steps) so worth it. It wasn’t very busy so you can check out the panoramic view without the crowds. (In august) you will pay for a ticket though, but you also get to visit a museum.

The tour I joined was too big. There was more than 30 people with only one guide. So I couldn’t engage enough with the information from the guide. The place is beautiful but the rooms we were allowed to go in as a part of the tour was fewer than I expected. The guide was friendly and enthusiastic tho, I could see he tried his best. But the group was just too big.

What a great place to visit. To avoid all massive crowds I would go as early as possible 9am. Walk up the stairs and go all the way down the hallway past the cafe to buy your tickets 👍The views from the top are just so magical. There was fog this early morning ♥️

We went on a guided day excursion from Prague to Cesky Krumlov. It was an amazing day! (We used Get Your Guide tours). Such a beautiful town with gorgeous views, lovely streets to meander, and restaurants and shops to enjoy. This is a must if you can take a day out of Prague or Vienna.

Český Krumlov Castle is an impressive landmark with stunning architecture and panoramic views of the old town. The guided tour inside gives great insight into its royal history and lavish interiors. It’s best to buy tickets in advance, especially during peak season, to avoid long lines.

Český Krumlov is a fairytale town – full of charm, history and stunning views. The castle and its gardens are a must, the old streets are magical, and the atmosphere along the Vltava River is unforgettable. A place you definitely shouldn’t miss when visiting the Czech Republic!

The landmark can be seen right in front of that in here. But it is not crowded. Good place to enjoy the scene and relax for a while. It is equipped with more than eight benches:)

Guys! Don’t miss this place! It’s a must to stop by to see this beautiful view on the right side of the town over viewing the old tower! It was simply amazing I spent most day there because I’ve walked everywhere! Would enjoy this place again maybe on sunrise!

Really nice view point, with benches. You can see all the town and the castle from here

Review: The garden with a stunning panoramic view of Cesky Krumlov was simply breathtaking. It offered a serene and peaceful atmosphere, with the added bonus of not being crowded. Its convenient location near the center of the city made it easily accessible. Although small in size, the garden provided a perfect vantage point to admire the beauty of Cesky Krumlov. Highly recommended for those seeking a tranquil spot with an incredible view.

amazing view point of the castle!

Great views of the castle and tower from here.

Beautiful park, panorama view of Krumlov castle.

I visited this town on a rainy day. However, I wanted to walk outside to soak in the views here. There are plenty of amazing sites and one of them is this bridge. I had taken a photo from the above, and then I walked down to the ground level to get another vantage point of this amazing structure.

I'm grateful that there is no entrance fee so that the view of the town is accessible to everyone. In addition to going over the (short) bridge, it's neat to see it from in front (brown bridge over river) and behind (park). I also did the castle tower, which has an entrance fee (and a much better view). Glad to have done both, and again, glad that there is an accessible option for a view.

Great view from the top of the bridge and look up the whole bridge from the bottom. No ticket needed for this amazing view. Really recommend this place for all the tourists to visit and enjoy it!

The castle itself is absolutely stunning, with rich history and incredible architecture. The views of the city from the bridge are breathtaking, one of the highlights of our visit. Walking through the grounds really gives you a sense of the past, and it's easy to see why this is such a popular destination.

Amazing architecture!! Can walk under it and go up to the second level for free. 2nd level has unbelievable views of this UNESO town!!

You can actually walk on it for free. Very beautiful from up there.

I visited this village in southern Czech Republic in the fall. It is one of the most beautiful places I have visited and I will visit it again.

I don't know if there's a garden as beautiful as this anywhere else. I was completely captivated. That layout, those enormous trees, are incredibly enjoyable. Be sure to add it to your trip.

A quiet peaceful garden in the back of the castle. If you don’t have the time, you can skip it. There is a unique outdoor stage with rotating seats. They have performances during the summer but it is closed starting fall.

Castle Garden is a beautiful historical landmark with magnificent historical landmark and breathtaking views. Its history is fascinating and truly captivating.The gardens are  impeccably maintained. I wholeheartedly recommend a visit to Castle Garden. For more details follow me on YouTube: @life.beyond.borders

Best park in this area. Going to the park is not easy for old people but it deserves.

The Middle of May would be the idea time to visit Garden. A great place to take a peaceful walk or just sit and relax. The Garden has low key free parking on both sides and this garden sits right above the Castle Grounds. If you're are driving start your day here and walk down into the city! #SeeTheWorld #Follow #@Chuckdiesal

One of the most beautiful gardens I’ve ever seen. Very cool under the sun. I’m wordless. Only bad thing is, you need to climb quite a lot of stairs

Amazing park on top of the hill. Lovely walk through the mazes, wide paths and forested area to the lake at the end of the park. It was. Well mentained and very relaxing. There is a theater in the park as well it is openwd until 19 in summer and 17 in winter. Best part it is Free!

Nothing much for this attraction, but of course it is very beautiful, and also the surroundings.

A beautiful area with old medieval buildings. Lots of touristy shops - it is the main street and so filled with tourists

Main street in Cesky Krumlov, lined up with quaint houses that are now gift shops, nice to walk around but touristy, nicer if you wander into the back alleys and be surprised by stunning views if the castle and the river.

Very good barber, pleasant atmosphere, skilful hairdresser

Beautiful walk along the streets

It's a nice street to walk around

Houses are nicely kept and very individual.

Fantastic place

(Translated by Google) Český Krumlov is a city in the Czech Republic, capital of the district of the same name, in Southern Bohemia, well known for the particular architecture of the historic center and the castle. The city's beautiful historic center has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The town, crossed by the Vltava river, with its houses and its very characteristic shops in the historic center, the many museums and a beautiful square where the Town Hall is located, is a city worth visiting. Český Krumlov is also an important cultural center in the Czech Republic, hosting various festivals and other events throughout the year. The best known is the Five-Petal Rose festival, which is celebrated on the summer solstice weekend in June. Very beautiful, clean, characteristic and well organised. (Original) Český Krumlov è una città della Repubblica Ceca, capoluogo del distretto omonimo, in Boemia Meridionale, molto conosciuta per la particolare architettura del centro storico e per il castello. Il bellissimo centro storico della città è stato dichiarato patrimonio dell'umanità dall'UNESCO. La cittadina, attraversata dal fiume Moldava, con le sue case ed i suoi negozietti molto caratteristici del centro storico, i tanti musei ed una bella piazza dove è situato il palazzo del Municipio, è una città tutta da visitare. Český Krumlov è anche un centro culturale importante nella Repubblica Ceca, ospita svariati festival e altri eventi durante l'anno. Il più conosciuto è il festival della Rosa dai Cinque Petali, che viene celebrato nel fine settimana del solstizio d'estate in giugno. Molto bella, pulita, caratteristica e ben organizzata.

(Translated by Google) A city that still preserves its medieval features, it is beautiful and charming, and is three hours by bus from Prague. I recommend a day trip. I believe that overnight stays are only worth it in the summer during the cold months, as the city has no nightlife. Through Regiojet, a bus company that connects Prague to Krumlov in three hours, the bus has on-board service, coffee, hot chocolate and a multimedia system. There is another bus company that also does this route, but I believe that the difference in price is not worth it. Cesky Krumlov is practically located around the river that almost completely surrounds it, forming an "s" between the city and the castle, which has free entrance for visitors. Amidst the old buildings and souvenir shops and local restaurants, its narrow streets are a discovery at every corner. I believe that a five-hour visit to the city is enough. As mentioned, overnight stays are only possible on hot days, and dragging suitcases along its cobblestone streets is not an easy task. (Original) Cidade que ainda mantém seus traços medievais, linda charmosa, fica a três horas de onibus de Praga, recomenda visita de um dia, pernoites acredito que só valha a pena no verão nos meses frios a cidade não possue vida noturna. Através da Regiojet, compania de onibus que liga Praga a Krumlov em três horas, onibus com serviço de bordo, café, chocoloate quente e sistema multimidia há uma outra compania de onibus que também faz este percurso mas creio que a diferença se preço não compense. Cesky Krumlov esta cravada praticamente em volta do rio que quase a contorna completamente fazendo um "s" entre a cidade e o castelo, que tem sua entrada livre para visitas. Em meio as contruçõea antigas e lojinhas de souvenirs e restaurantes locais suas ruelas são uma descoberta a cada esquina. Uma visita de cinco horas na cidade creio ser suficiente. Como comentado pernoites somente em dias quentes e arrastar malas pelas suas ruas de pedras não é tarefa muito facil.

(Translated by Google) The tiny houses of Cesky Krumlov resemble toys. Even the municipal building in its size does not stand out from the general spatial architectural environment. Located on the city's Central Square, Krumlov Town Hall has become a symbol of unity. The Town Hall is a wide, white, three-story building on the main town square in Cesky Krumlov. The building in its current form arose in 17, by combining two old Gothic houses. On the ground floor there is a wide corridor connected to the streets by large arched spans. On one of the vaults, fragments of wall paintings dating from the first half of the 15th century were discovered, depicting the worship of the Magi to the born Savior. The building served administrative purposes for the management of the city, so meeting rooms were equipped inside. In the basement of the town hall there is a Museum of Torture, which displays 100 exhibits of instruments of torture and 10 wax figures. (Original) Крошечные дома Чешского Крумлова напоминают игрушки. Даже здание муниципалитета по своим размерам ничем не выделяется из общей пространственной архитерной среды. Расположенная на Центральной площади города, крумловская ратуша стала символом единства. Ратуша – широкое белое трехэтажное здание на главной городской площади в Чешском Крумлове. В нынешнем виде здание возникло в 17 , путем объединения двух старых готических домов. На первом этаже находится широкий коридор, соединенный с улицами большими арочными пролетами. На одном из сводов были обнаружены фрагменты настенной живописи, датируемой первой половиной 15 века, с изображением поклонения волхвов рожденному Спасителю. Здание служило административным целям по управлению города, поэтому внутри были оборудованы залы для заседаний. В подвале ратуши расположен Музей пыток, в котором представлены 100 экспонатов орудий пыток и 10 восковых фигур.

(Translated by Google) One of the most beautiful historical cities I know. Pleasant walks through the city that you never get tired of. We come back here often. The Rose Festival, which takes place every year in June, is very beautiful. (Original) Jedno z nejkrásnějších historických měst které znám. Příjemné procházky městem , které nikdy neomrzí. Často se sem vracíme. Velice krásné jsou Slavnosti Růže , které se konají každý rok c červnu.

In the oldest district of Český Krumlov, Latran, not far from Krumlov Castle, behind a baroque arched gate, lies the Minorite monastery, better known as the monastery of the Knights of the Red Cross. This is one of the mysterious and hidden places in the city. The monasteries of Český Krumlov are a unique district in the historical center of the city, registered on the UNESCO list. The exhibition introduces the history of Český Krumlov and its monasteries. At the entrance to the exhibition there is a model of the monastery complex, including its gardens. It is easy to see why monasteries are an important part of Český Krumlov and what role they played in the formation of the city. The exhibition correctly shows the period from the first written mention of the city in 1253, its heyday during the reign of the Rosenbergs and the establishment of monasteries in modern history, as well as the dissolution of the Minorite monastery in 1950.

We had a wonderful experience and atmosphere in the old town of Krumlov. There is a lot to see and to do. Also nice restaurants, coffee shops, hotels and shops for shopping. We stayed in the Bellevue Spa hotel, in the old town area. Very central but not really a Spa hotel if you must book and pay extra for the Spa / sauna's use, I think😉 This town gives a feeling of Tuscany with all the red roofs. Also a bit like a small Prague...well to me at least. A must to visit.

This review is based on my experience with the staff not the place itself. I got the Cesky Krumlov card and was going to visit all of the included museums. But even in a day and a half it wasn't easy as the castle apartments and theatre are separate attractions and they require quite a bit of time. I decided to leave this museum until last but did find my way there earlier and double checked with the lady at the reception if they were closing at 6pm. She didn't speak good English and wasn't pleasant at all. When I returned at 5:10pm I thought I could have a quick look. It's ok if it wasn't possible but the attitude was very off putting. She could have told me or they could put up a sign for her to point to that last admission was at 5pm. Even the brochures given by the information centre don't mention that. I said it's ok I just want to have a quick look as I was leaving the next day, but was bluntly refused.

Awesome for kids. So much fun and so much to do. It's an awesome place when you want the kids to have a good time and the grown ups can also do so much and play and have fun. Highly recommended when you're around the area!

Daughter and I visited only the second exposition and were amazed. Really good interactive presentation of a renesaince clothing and a work in a monastery, where you can create your own souvenirs. Unfortunatelly texts are almost all in Czech (which I luckily understand some), but it didn’t bother my daughter 😄

Great place, we spent 4 hours there and had to drag our girls (4+7) out! So.many things to do to spark the imagination, in a different way then we are used to. I highly recommend it!

We didn't plan to visit the inside of the monastery but then we didn't regret entering. It was really beautiful and interesting, especially the medieval paintings on the walls and the Black Madonna in the small chapel.

I'll be honest, I am indeed crazy about 90s stuff, especially graphic designs, I highly recommend going in there if visiting Český Krumlov

Outstanding museum in Cesky Krumlov. Free to enter. Takes you back in time related to what commerce was like long ago. Shopping, Cash Registers, Signs, Beer, Coffee and much more. This was a really great experience. So much to see and it is all free of charge to enter! They have souvenirs for purchase as well. Love our visit and highly recommend!

The moment you arrive, you're greeted by a stunning display of vintage signs that line the entrance, hinting at the amazing collection inside. I was completely surprised to learn that this incredible museum is free to enter! The collection is incredibly rich, featuring a wide variety of items from signs and packages to bottles and cans. I was totally absorbed by the unique designs and intricate artwork that tell a story of a bygone era. This place is a true gem, perfect for anyone who appreciates vintage aesthetics. It's well worth a visit!

Time travel. Apart from the exhibition you can also buy some small souvenirs. The gentleman behind the counter was very nice. Free entrance.

It's a really interesting and free museum, a lot of funny exhibits and you can buy cute souvenirs.

Entrance to the museum is free. The museum is small but very interesting. The only thing we didn’t like was the gentleman working there. He was very rude and unfriendly toward everyone.

Visited this museum in 2018, very nice, free entrance, and friendly owner. Amazing collection of vintage publicity posters and enamelled signs.

City park is beautiful park along the river. It has nice view of the area and excellent jogging track. It has good play area for children. Good place for picnic and recommended for visit. For more details follow me on YouTube: @life.beyond.borders

My kids love the swings. There is a lot of green and flowers, you can also walk by the river where there people are rafting . There is also some gym equipment for adults. There are very big old trees too.

Calming park within easy reach of the tourist core of Krumlov. There is one small jetty intended to give swimmers access to the river, but it's also a great place to sit with your feet in the water and watch the passing kayakers. You'll find it at the southern boundary of the park, a few meters from the public toilets.

Lovely little park, to relax after a stroll at the caste and narrow streets....we visited during October last year (fall season), and the entire park was turned yellow and gold....

The territory of the city park has been used as an economic background since time immemorial. In addition to agricultural buildings, there used to be meadows, fields and gardens here. Since the end of the 16th century, this area has become a resting place and a garden for the Jesuits. They lived on the other bank of the Vltava in a dormitory and walked into the garden across the river on a suspension bridge. In 1662, they built a summer residence and an ornamental Baroque garden in the area of the current park, protected from floods by dikes. In 1585, the cemetery was moved here from the church of St. Vitus. Cemetery Chapel of St. Martin underwent a number of building modifications. Originally a wooden building was replaced in 1717 by a brick one, which was redesigned to its current form in 1737. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the park underwent a drastic transformation. In 1885, a river swimming pool was established on the banks of the Vltava. In 1892, the cemetery with the chapel of St. Martin were abolished and then the Jesuit Garden became municipal property. Území městského parku bylo od nepaměti využíváno jako hospodářského zázemí. Vedle zemědělských staveb tu bývaly louky, políčka a zahrady. Od konce 16. století se tento prostor stal oddechovým místem a zahradou jezuitů. Ti žili na druhém břehu Vltavy v koleji (dnes hotel Růže) a do zahrady chodili přes řeku po visuté lávce. V prostoru nynějšího parku vybudovali roku 1662 letní sídlo a okrasnou barokní zahradu, chráněnou před povodněmi hrází. V roce 1585 sem byl přemístěn hřbitov od kostela sv. Víta. Hřbitovní kaple sv. Martina prošla řadou stavebních úprav. Původně dřevěná stavba byla roku 1717 nahrazena stavbou zděnou a ta pak roku 1737 znovu upravena do dnešní podoby. Na přelomu 19. a 20. století prošel park razantní proměnou. V roce 1885 byla na břehu Vltavy zřízena říční plovárna. V roce 1892 byl zrušen hřbitov u kaple sv. Martina a tehdy Jezuitská zahrada přešla do obecního vlastnictví.

Lovely walk around area next to the castle of Cesky Krumlov. Views around the town from high altitude are fantastic. It may be a little too many walking up and down for the children if they are small but it's worth it. Perfect in winter time and I guess in summer :-)

I just wandered in here just before 10 am, there is not a soul in sight. And right at 10 music flowed in from across the river. Some local festive music with singers. This is the pleasure of traveling in the true sense of Rick Steves or wollters world. Find your own joy in the little things, not with some ‘local’ guide with a paltry accent.

Budějovická Gate was built between 1598 - 1602 according to the plan made by Benedict Cometta and at the expense of Peter Vok of Rosenberg. Český Krumlov originally had nine gates, which were incorporated into the town fortifications. Eight of them were gradually pulled down in the 19th century and Budějovická Gate was the only one to remain. In comparison to the other gates, whose appearance is only partly known from historical pictures, it stood out due to its daring architectural solution and Renaissance decoration. A noteworthy fact about Budějovická Gate is its conception of two dif-ferent expressions on its two façades, one towards the town and the other facing outward. The outer rectangular decoration of the façade with its battle-ments and pointed edge of the tower makes the impression of massive fortifications to put off enemies and, on the reverse side, the red colour of the façade facing the town, with its sundial and playful Renaissance ornaments surrounding the windows, shows the inhabitants of the town its smiling face.

This over 400-year-old town entrance gate looks great and invites you to visit this extraordinary town. You can feel like you're on a fairy-tale movie set... in fact, the whole town has such magic.

Car traffic should be prohibited in this such historical area

Very nice place, well located and with a view of the city, the staff are very friendly, polite and speak excellent English, they were very kind, the food was very good and at an excellent price, it is an excellent option for healthy and tasty food. I highly recommend it.

The only surviving of the nine city gates was built in the years 1598-1602 by the Italian architect Domenico Benedetto Cometta of Eckthurn at the expense of Petr Vok of Rožmberk. The two-storey quadrangular tower had a different effect on the conquerors of the city and differently on its defenders and burghers: from the outer (northern) side it evokes the illusion of a massive fortification and its façade is covered by a huge protective wall topped by battlements. The inner side is richly decorated with frescoes with a sundial on the level of the second floor. Access to the gate was originally provided by a wooden drawbridge, its holes with wooden pulleys are still preserved. A modern city emblem is installed in the area above the portal. Jedinou dochovanou z devíti městských bran vystavěl v letech 1598-1602 italský architekt Domenico Benedetto Cometta z Eckthurnu nákladem Petra Voka z Rožmberka. Dvoupatrová čtyřboká věž působila jinak na dobyvatele města a jinak na jeho obránce a měšťany: z vnější (severní) strany navozuje iluzi masivní fortifikace a její průčelí je kryto mohutnou ochrannou zdí zakončenou cimbuřím. Vnitřní strana je bohatě vyzdobena freskami se slunečními hodinami v úrovni druhého patra. Přístup k bráně původně zabezpečoval dřevěný padací most, otvory s dřevěnými kladkami jsou dosud zachovány. V ploše nad portálem je osazen novodobý městský znak.

A must-see place if you are visiting Krumlov.

A fairytale beauty with the meeting of paving stones, river and greenery

Very nice place, downstairs there is a café, upstairs there is an exhibition on two floors. It's really small, the entrance fee is 2 €. Payment by card is possible. Nice view of the park.

Be aware that this is someone's house, and do not expect to be welcome in it despite the fact that there are information signs describing it, signs pointing the way and distance to it, a sign on the upstairs door pointing to the downstairs door as the entrance, and an open door. I would not have know this place existed without all the signage in town pointing it out. I feel like if the owner doesn't want random people showing up, then maybe they should discuss removing signs with the town. Very rude despite us apologizing several times. That said, it's a pretty house with a small art gallery.

A beautiful and inspiring place. If you like Egon Schiele, it is recommended to visit :)

I love the works of ES. So this was a pilgrimage for me. The atelier was good and restored very well. It was moving to see his bed and few personal effects. The book showing the process of restoration was in useful. Else it is a very simple place as is to be expected of the times gone by.

Beautiful house with an option for refreshments. Lovely quiet place with plenty of outdoor seating in the lovely terrace gardens. Nice selection of drins, wines and amazing cakes!

Amazing place, well cared-for, very friendly staff. We wanted to play chess and the large board didn't have any figures, so they got us a smaller board and let us enjoy. Many thanks for that, had a great time :)

Wonderful atmoshere of an old house by a river in a well kept garden, a charming cafe, you virtually travel in time there

The small chapel was built as a wooden cemetery chapel in 1585 together as a part of new graveyard which was to replace the old one at St. Vitus Church. Since 1969, the chapel has been used as a seat of the Czech Hussitic Church Chorus. Occasionally, spiritual music concerts take place there.

Very nice garden, view and rest.

Hlavní oltář je z roku 1763 a je dílem krumlovského sochaře Josefa Mucka a malířů Josefa Putze a Christopha Anneise.

(Translated by Google) An inconspicuous chapel in a city park that has been here since the 18th century. It was originally built as a cemetery chapel, so its history has a slightly melancholic feel, but today it is mainly a pleasant and peaceful place to stop. When we were there, there was an exhibition of strange, slightly spooky sculptures going on around the chapel – well, for a moment it felt like a Tim Burton gallery. But it is these unexpected moments that give the place a special atmosphere. :) (instagram --> michaelnae) (Original) Taková nenápadná kaple v městském parku, která tu stojí už od 18. století. Byla původně postavená jako hřbitovní kaple, takže její historie má i lehce melancholický nádech, ale dnes je to hlavně příjemné a klidné místo na zastavení. Když jsme tam byli, zrovna kolem kaple probíhala výstava podivných, lehce strašidelných soch – no, člověk si na chvíli připadal jak v galerii Tim Burtona. Ale právě tyhle nečekané momenty dávají místu zvláštní atmosféru. :) (instagram --> michaelnae)

(Translated by Google) A beautiful, unassuming chapel located in a park. It looks good in photos. It's a place that doesn't usually attract crowds of tourists, so you can relax a bit here. (Original) Ładna, niepozorna kaplica znajdująca się w parku. Nieźle się prezentuje na zdjęciach. Miejsce w pobliże którego raczej nie docierają tłumy turystów wiec można tu nieco ochłonąć.

We had a wonderful experience and atmosphere in the old town of Krumlov. There is a lot to see and to do. Also nice restaurants, coffee shops, hotels and shops for shopping. We stayed in the Bellevue Spa hotel, in the old town area. Very central but not really a Spa hotel if you must book and pay extra for the Spa / sauna's use, I think😉 This town gives a feeling of Tuscany with all the red roofs. Also a bit like a small Prague...well to me at least. A must to visit.

In the oldest district of Český Krumlov, Latran, not far from Krumlov Castle, behind a baroque arched gate, lies the Minorite monastery, better known as the monastery of the Knights of the Red Cross. This is one of the mysterious and hidden places in the city. The monasteries of Český Krumlov are a unique district in the historical center of the city, registered on the UNESCO list. The exhibition introduces the history of Český Krumlov and its monasteries. At the entrance to the exhibition there is a model of the monastery complex, including its gardens. It is easy to see why monasteries are an important part of Český Krumlov and what role they played in the formation of the city. The exhibition correctly shows the period from the first written mention of the city in 1253, its heyday during the reign of the Rosenbergs and the establishment of monasteries in modern history, as well as the dissolution of the Minorite monastery in 1950.

Awesome for kids. So much fun and so much to do. It's an awesome place when you want the kids to have a good time and the grown ups can also do so much and play and have fun. Highly recommended when you're around the area!

Great place, we spent 4 hours there and had to drag our girls (4+7) out! So.many things to do to spark the imagination, in a different way then we are used to. I highly recommend it!

This review is based on my experience with the staff not the place itself. I got the Cesky Krumlov card and was going to visit all of the included museums. But even in a day and a half it wasn't easy as the castle apartments and theatre are separate attractions and they require quite a bit of time. I decided to leave this museum until last but did find my way there earlier and double checked with the lady at the reception if they were closing at 6pm. She didn't speak good English and wasn't pleasant at all. When I returned at 5:10pm I thought I could have a quick look. It's ok if it wasn't possible but the attitude was very off putting. She could have told me or they could put up a sign for her to point to that last admission was at 5pm. Even the brochures given by the information centre don't mention that. I said it's ok I just want to have a quick look as I was leaving the next day, but was bluntly refused.

I recommend a visit, an extremely well organized tour

We didn't plan to visit the inside of the monastery but then we didn't regret entering. It was really beautiful and interesting, especially the medieval paintings on the walls and the Black Madonna in the small chapel.

It is not a very big wax museum, but the exhibits are beautiful and you should buy a ticket together with the Torture Museum, which will make it cheaper. Overall, if you don't have much time, you don't need to go in, but if you have time left, it is a good and beautiful place.

I found it interesting, and I believe it deserves more publicity. It's definitely worth seeing even if it's not too big. I believe the entry fee is just. I had fun. Especially liked Sissi.

Very life like wax models of notable people throughout Czech and world history. Some of them I thought were real people. I recommend buying a combo ticket covering this and also the house of mirrors.

This place is a lot of fun! You find not only famous people but also spooky scenes from medieval times. Atmospheric light and sounds. Very entertaining and educating at the same time. We loved it!

Very interesting place Must see

You have to visit this great Wax museum. It is ot so big but is great place for your children's and friends. Thank you one more time.

Small one with bad or no signs for each figure so sometimes you dont even know who is that person. But nice entertainment also for kids.

We truly love animals and in 2025 it is painful to see them captive in such a small enclosure. While we do understand and respect tradition, the bears should be kept in a larger space with a clean water pond. To be noted that we did see them being fed with fresh fruit and vegetables, but the space is barely acceptable for animals to have a healthy life.

Mixed feelings about the place. On the other hand, it is a tradition, and they are supposedly "rescue" bears unable to live in the wild. But on the other hand, the moat is just way too small - it is an animal prison. Even though the bears seem to be in good condition, it was more sad than an enjoyment to watch them. They should definitely build better ans larger living quarters for the bears and if it is not possible, they should move the bears somewher else permanently

Everything seemed perfect: the streets, the castle, the atmosphere… a truly beautiful place. But what completely ruined the experience were the two bears kept in captivity as a tourist attraction. It’s 2025 — it’s unbelievable that this kind of cruelty still exists. Seeing the bears in such a small space, visibly stressed (one even has bald patches from the anxiety), was heartbreaking. It felt like not only the city is medieval, but also the mindset of those who think this is acceptable today. I was having a great time until I saw this. Honestly, a huge disappointment. I really hope this outdated and unnecessary cruelty comes to an end soon.

It was disheartening to see the bears kept in the moat. While they are clearly a long-standing attraction and yes, we did stop to see them, it was upsetting to witness their living conditions. Their enclosure lacks stimulation, greenery, and seems far too small for animals of their size and intelligence. It feels like they serve no purpose beyond being a tourist photo-op, which is a shame. I hope the management considers improving their habitat — or better yet, relocating them to a sanctuary where their well-being comes first. It would make this beautiful historic site even more admirable.

This pit for two bears makes me incredible sad and disgusted. You can clearly see that the bears have tol little space and not much to do. One bear in particular did the exact walking in circles every so minutes. Meanwhile we all stood and take pictures up from above for our enjoyment. I am disgusted by this so called attraction. But i dont know what to do but leave this review of this terrible bear pit. But the people of this Castle and this place should ask themselves if the bears are really that important for a castle that already is a great sightseeing in itself. Does it really need its tourist to be met first hand with animals in such a state?

A bears' jail in 2025 as attraction is not needed at all. Does this wonderful town need it? I say no!

They are lovely but they shouldnt be in captive. Painful to see them in that area

Most scenic access to the city. Great views of the boats coming down the river ‘rapids’.

Nice photo spot. No need entrance fees

This is one of the best locations for photos of the castle, river, weir, and back into the town. Usually lots of activities on the river with kayaks.

This place was featured in the 2005 horror movie Hostel. It is a beautiful place for taking pictures!

A good place to visit , nice castle, good walk , plenty parking place, not expensive.Very nice

The atmosphere of Cesky Krumlov and Lavka Pod Zamkem is superior to Prague in a multitude of factors. Not only is the tranquility of Cesky Krumlov superior to Prague, but more importantly, it is less touristy, the architecture is far more serene and the general landscape of Cesky Krumlov is definately more picturesque during early afternoon. Despite this, both Prague and Cesky Krumlov have been unfortunately plagued by the infestation of tourist shops - literally everywhere you walk, there is a tourist shop. This most certainly ruins the prevailing atmosphere of Cesky and so, I rate it a 8/10.

One of the most beautiful places to take pictures, to spend time and to catch a feeling of the vibes this location has to offer.

Upon arriving by train on 28.7.23 I called into the I&S centre to ask them to phone me a taxi. Was abruptly told by the young lady to phone one myself. Told her none of the firms spoke English (had tried to book yesterday). She told me they did. Told her I had tried and they did not. She reluctantly phoned a cab. Yesterday (2.8.23) I called in again to buy train tickets. Asked if I was in the right place and again same girl;she was most curt, not even a smidgen of a smile. Think she needs a career change;maybe as a traffic warden!

You can buy train ticket there with possibility to pay by card.

(Translated by Google) Very willing. Since the entrance is free, I left the notice and bought the books. Disadvantage for those who do not know German and English. I would also recommend books in the Czech language, because Czechoslovaks were dying here in large numbers and it would at least be polite if they had their representation here, like other nations. Thank you. (Original) Velmi ochotní. Vzhledem k tomu, že vstup je zdarma, tak jsem nechal všimné a koupil knihy. Nevýhoda pro ty, co neumějí německy a anglicky. Doporučil bych i knihy v českém jazyce, poněvadž Čechoslováci zde umírali ve velkém a bylo by to minimálně slušností,aby zde měli,tak jako ostatní národy, své zastoupení. Děkuji.

Great spot for sunset

Really great view. Next to the bus station and definitely worth it.

Best place in Chesky Krumlov and It's free. ☺️

The best viewpoint out of the beautiful town.

You must visit it

Good view

Calm lookover and a panorama when the tourists arent being loud.

You sing with Bedřich Smetana, with locals…our Vltava in China is the Yellow River

Bridge to the old town area..

(Translated by Google) Thanks to the meanders of the Vltava, Český Krumlov has 23 bridges and eight footbridges in its possession, which ranks it - despite its small area - among the true Czech "bridge metropolises", such as the much larger Prague. Most Dr. Edvard Beneš from 1929 is not only a unique functionalist construction, but also an important transport hub. Passing through the historic center without it would be very problematic. Unfortunately, it is not in good technical condition, since 2014 it has a reduced load capacity and cars heavier than 6 tons are not allowed on it. Its useful life is over and a complete reconstruction has been recommended, but there is a lack of money for it. The footpaths on both sides of the bridge have been closed with wooden barriers since 2018, so you have to walk on the road, luckily there is mostly no traffic. You will definitely take the most impressive photos of the church of St. Welcome. Interesting fact: the germ of destruction is already in the bridge structure itself. At the time of its post-war generals, there was a regulation that so-called "permanent equipment shafts" had to be placed in it - which are actually boxes for storing explosives, thanks to which it would be possible to quickly blow up the building if we were threatened by an imperialist enemy. The Beneš Bridge has three such shafts - and it is through those boxes that most of the water flows into the bridge.

Most Dr. Edvarda Beneše z roku 1929 je nejen unikátní funkcionalistickou konstrukci, ale i důležitým dopravním uzlem. Průjezd historickým centrem bez něj by byl velice problematický. Bohužel není v dobrém technickém stavu, od roku 2014 má sníženou nosnost a nesmí na něj auta těžší než 6 tun. Jeho životnost je u konce a byla doporučena kompletní rekonstrukce, na což ale chybí peníze. Chodníky po obou stranách mostu jsou od roku 2018 uzavřeny pomocí dřevěných zábran, takže musíte procházet po vozovce, naštěstí tu povětšinou provoz není frekventovaný. Rozhodně odtud pořídíte nejpůsobivější fotky kostela sv. Víta. Zajímavost: zárodek destrukce si v sobě nese už samotná mostní konstrukce. V době jeho poválečné generálky platil předpis, že v něm musí být umístěny takzvané "šachty stálého zařízení" - což jsou vlastně boxy na uložení trhavin, díky kterým by bylo možno stavbu rychle vyhodit do vzduchu, kdyby nás náhodou ohrožoval nějaký ten imperialistický nepřítel.
