This UNESCO World Heritage site, with its medieval charm and stunning architecture, is a perfect blend of history, culture, and beauty. My journey began at the Budějovická brána, the grand gateway to the castle complex, where the magnificence of the State Castle immediately captivated me. Wandering through its historic halls and exhibitions, I could feel the echoes of its regal past. The Cloak Bridge was another highlight, an architectural marvel connecting the castle to the lush Castle Gardens. Standing on the bridge, I imagined the royal processions of old, while the gardens offered a peaceful retreat and sweeping views of the town. The Castle Tower provided the grand finale, offering panoramic vistas of Český Krumlov’s cobblestone streets, vibrant rooftops, and the winding Vltava River. Exploring the Old Town was equally enchanting. The narrow alleys led me to the Gothic splendor of St. Vitus Church and quirky shops like Botanicus and Koh-I-Noor, where I found unique souvenirs. A cozy lunch at the historic Hotel Růže let me savor the flavors of local cuisine in a setting rich with charm. Crossing Lazebnický most, I soaked in views of the serene Vltava River before ending my day at the Castle Tower, where the fairy-tale town unfolded beneath me. Český Krumlov is truly a destination where history, art, and nature blend seamlessly into a dream-like experience.
