Welcome to Český Krumlov!

As if hidden in a palm half open, the town, noted for its scenic beauty and rare grandeur, unfolds before us full of glory and charm of the days bygone. It is a place richly endowed with the bounties of nature and treasures of history, dear to the Czech painter and familiar to the Czech historian, a place, whose each single element evokes the memories of old days, when people were still at leisure enough to dwell upon details, and to invent a range of artistic solutions to meet their everyday needs...Erected inside a meander of the Vltava River, the bed of which cuts deep into the surrounding rocky hills, the town and its Castle benefit from the most natural setting that such a settlement could ever have. Welcome to Český Krumlov...
