About this tour

Discover the fairytale town of Český Krumlov, beautifully curled around a bend in the Vltava River and crowned by a magnificent 13th-century castle. Perfectly preserved as one of Central Europe’s most authentic medieval gems, its winding streets and timeless charm have served as a stunning backdrop for films like Hostel and The Illusionist, and continue to enchant travelers from all over the world.

Your journey begins in Vienna and winds through the rolling landscapes of Lower Austria and the lush Waldviertel (Forest Quarter) before crossing into South Bohemia in the Czech Republic. Along the way, enjoy refreshing stops:

  • A scenic break at the Ottenstein Reservoir, with panoramic views of the dramatic ruins of Lichtenfels Castle.
  • A charming pause in Weitra, home to Austria’s oldest brewery and a perfectly picturesque town square.
  • A quick photo stop at the former Austro-Czech border, where a few remnants of the Iron Curtain still stand as silent witnesses to history.

Upon arriving in Český Krumlov, meet your expert local guide for a captivating walking tour. Stroll the cobblestone lanes of the UNESCO-listed old town, soak in its perfectly preserved medieval atmosphere, and visit highlights including the majestic castle, the Rosenberg family palaces, historic churches, colourful burgher houses, and breath-taking vistas over the Vltava River.

After the guided tour, you’ll have free time to wander at your leisure—perhaps climb the castle tower, browse local artisan shops, or simply relax by the river with a coffee or a Czech beer.

The day ends with a comfortable, direct minivan transfer back to Vienna, concluding with drop-off right at your hotel or apartment door. A seamless, memorable escape!
