The Cesky Krumlov Castle is a must-see Czech sight. The town and castle are built upon an s-bend in a river. Charming houses and a water mill are overlooked by the large, romantic castle with its Renaissance tower. Climb the tower for unforgettable views of the surrounding area and the countryside beyond. Enjoy a stroll through the castle grounds, shop for souvenirs or grab a snack in town, and soak up the charm of this out-of-the way Czech treasure.

Cesky Krumlov has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It is well known for its fairy-tale beauty, cozy Czech community, friendliness to visitors, and unforgettable scenery.
