What we'll do
We'll take a leisurely walk through the breathtaking Old Town of Český Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site celebrated for its well-preserved medieval charm. As we wander through its narrow, winding streets, lined with beautiful Renaissance-style houses, it will feel like stepping back in time.
Overlooking the town is the majestic Český Krumlov Castle, an architectural masterpiece that adds to the fairy-tale atmosphere. We’ll explore the castle grounds, take in panoramic views from the hilltop, and admire the stunning gardens. A unique highlight of the castle is its historic moat, home to live bears, a centuries-old tradition that continues today.
There will also be time for a lunch stop (not included), allowing you to soak in the town’s charming ambiance before we continue our journey.

About Český Krumlov
Český Krumlov emerged as a thriving medieval town, growing around its strategically positioned castle. Built atop a hill overlooking a bend in the Vltava River, the castle controlled an important river crossing, which naturally encouraged trade and prosperity, leading to the town’s rapid development.
Over the centuries, Český Krumlov Castle has been rebuilt and expanded multiple times, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles into a unique and harmonious complex. Today, visitors can trace these architectural transformations, each reflecting a different chapter of the town’s history.
Until the 20th century, Český Krumlov had a predominantly German population, but after World War II, the German inhabitants were expelled and replaced by Czech settlers. Today, the town is home to around 13,000 residents, preserving its rich history and fairy-tale charm as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most picturesque destinations in the Czechia.

Another great trip with Sidetrip
We took two private trips this summer with Sidetrip. Both were everything we hoped for. William took us from Prague to Salzburg via the historic town of Český Krumlov. He was a knowledgable and engaging guide, and a great driver too. The day was as delightful a way to get from one city to another across Central Europe as we could imagine. We look forward to the next opportunity to ride with Sidetrip. Enthusistically recommended! Five stars.
Absolutely Fabulous Trip
There were nine of us in the group and we had two vehicles. Both Nikolai and Johnathan were fabulous. They were very helpful with anything we asked of them. They were knowledgeable about the places we visited and even recommended great places to eat. We did 2 trips with them - from Prague to Salzburg via Kurmwalt and Modensee, and from Salzburg to Vienna via Hallstatt and Melk. I highly recommend Sidetrip Tours!
Memorable day at Cesky Krumulov
Our tour guide (Petra) made the trip from Prague to Salzburg with a stop at Cesky Krumlov very memorable with a ton of interesting info about the Czech culture, history, and food. Her tour of Cesky Kumlov was one of the highlights of our entire Central Europe trip. Cesky Krumlov is a remarkable place with unique scenery and views, remarkable history, and authentic Czech food. The tour was the best value for money on our trip.
