• How Many Days In Cesky Krumlov 7

Hello,I'm planning my first trip to Prague and Budapest, probably 3-4 nights in each city. When in the Czech Republic, I would also like to spend a night in either Cesky Krumlov or Karlovy Vary.

Due to time constraints, I don't think I can visit both!Karlovy Vary came to my attention from the Casino Royale remake. It looks amazing and the spa is of great interest. While searching for info on that town, I came across Cesky Krumlov, which looks so quaint and is described as having so many cobblestone streets.The other option is to do a day trip to one, then the other, and just extend my Prague visit by a few nights, but since I've not been to Prague I didn't want to take away from visiting that city with too many day trips.Any thoughts? I know there is also Kutna Hora, but I think that is my 3rd choice.Thanks! We did Karlovy Vary as a day trip from Prague and then went on to stay at Cesky Krumlov after leaving Prague. We were very happy with this. We loved the day at Karlovy Vary and it would have been nice to stay, but we did not feel that we had made the wrong decision by not staying overnight.

How Many Days In Cesky Krumlov 7

It is a very easy day trip from Prague as it is not too far away. Offhand I think it was only about a 90 min drive in our car, probably a bit longer by bus. Cesky Krumlov is really too far away to be a feasible day trip unless you want to arrive back very late and exhausted.I know that some people on this forum aren't crazy about Karlovy Vary but we were enchanted. We also liked that it gave a somewhat different cultural perspective. Cesky Krumlov was a bit like a mini Prague, whereas Karlovy Vary reminded me of St Petersburg - which perhaps is one of the reasons why I liked it so much as I have very fond memories of St Petersburg.Both are excellent so if you can fit both in do so. I have been to both Karlovy Vary and Cesky Krumlov & loved both places. We stayed overnight in both.

The reason I might suggest Karlovy Vary over Cesky Krumlov is because I agree that CK is a bit like a mini-Prague. The architecture of Karlovy Vary is very different from Prague, as is its location set into the mountains. You also hear a lot of Russian, & enjoying the spa is something different to do from your typical sightseeing. You could conceivably do KV in a day trip but I wouldn't try it with CK because CK is just too far away in my opinion to enjoy it as a one-day trip.If you stay overnight in Karlovy Vary, I recommend staying at the Hotel Romance Pushkin. Location is excellent, right across the street from a spa, & hot & cold breakfast buffet is amazing. In Cesky Krumlov, we stayed at Zlaty Andel, excellent location on the main square & delicious hot & cold buffet breakfast.

Been to both and like both. Did KV as a day trip via bus. Not bad at all. Arrived about 945 am and left about 4 pm. I was really impressed with the elegance of the many of the places. Noted that on this board a couple of years ago and danged if Fodor's doesn't quote me in their current Prague guide.I did CK via train, spending the night in CeskeBudlevojice.

This was in the early '90s and there really didn't appear to be but a couple of places to stay in CK. I am sure that has changed. Wonderful little town tho. Bussed from Budlevojice to CK. As noted by someone, a bit to long for a day trip.That trip to CK came very close to being my all-time stupid trip.

On the train I was in an old fashioned compartment with 5 apparent Czechs. The train stopped. I looked out and it wasn't my destination -Ceske Budlejovice. There was an announcement of the loud speaker and every in my compartment got up and got off the train. Not my stop so I stayed put. A couple of minutes later, one of my 'compartment mates' came back and vigorously gestured that I needed to get my stuff and get off. It seems there were working on the track just ahead and we needed to get on a bus, go about 10 miles, board a second train that would then go on to CB.

Unable to go forward because of the construction, our original train would simply 'back up' all the way to Prague. Absent that kind man who got me off the original train, I would have ended up right back in Prague.

4 or 5 days with day trips to Cesky Krumlov, Kutna Hora and Terezin, maybe also Karlovy Vary. For me, 1 day was sufficient in Cesky K. It is a charming village but quite touristy.Driving in CZ is easy, and the drivers are generally good.not too aggressive.Restaurants:La Finestre or its sister restaurant Aromi.Allegra (spendy)SaSaZuLokal - CzechThe Beer MuseumMaitrea - VegetarianTavern - right next to Reigrovysady.it's a burger joint.The Vietnamese Pho place right across from Jiriho Z Podebrad metro stop (green line)The last two are haunts of ours, but def not touristy places. Expats yes, tourists no. That's true for Austrian highways too - and the Austrians are very strict about it.Um, Czech food is ok but it's not Italian or French. The Czechs have figured out about 5835 ways to make dumplings out of bread.Four or five nights in Prague with three day trips (per SloJan2) is a waste, there's enough to see in Prague to fill 3-4 days of touring with ease. So if you want to see Terezin and CK, add time to your Prague stay (although I think you can visit CK en route to Vienna if you leave early and are willing to drive a bit that day (2.5 hrs to CK, 2.5 hours-plus from CK to Vienna).

I read mixed things about Cesky Krumlov. Some people love it; some say it is too touristy. Sometimes tourism can spoil a place, sometimes not. I'm planning two nights in Cesky Krumlov next month. I'm hoping to drive around South Bohemia and see a number of the castles (and other towns), and CK looks like a convenient base in any case.Prague was very touristy too even back in 2005 when I was last there - imagine it is worse now.

But Prague seems to be one of those places that's awesome anyway. Tip: the Charles Bridge may be mobbed with tourists most of the day, but if you are jet lagged and wake up early, the bridge is mostly deserted at daybreak - you can have it all to yourself. I Love cesky Krumlov, so I may be biased. But a one day trip to this city is not a good idea.

Take time to explore the city without to many plans. A little surprise on my last visit was the record shop, just before the bridge upt to the castle side, on the square side, on the right.

He sold also vine from the barrel, and very cheap! If you only want half a liter, take a plastic bottle with you. 50-80 ck for one liter.3 nights or mor can you make that? The town will grow on you, the more time you spend! I did 5 days in Prague with day trip to Terezin. In hindsight I could have done it all in 4 days instead of 5. I liked roaming the streets of Prague the most, just admiring the colorful architecture.

I went up to the castle hill a few times as well. I visited the Pinkas Synagogue in Prague, which I recommend; you can visit the Jewish cemetery there and the 'do not miss' display of artwork by the child victims of Terezin. These works of art are very moving, even more so if you are familiar with the history of Terezin - very inspiring how the prisoners kept the arts and their spirits alive despite all they were going through.I spent two nights in CK.

I would recommend spending a full night there instead of a day trip. It is touristy but I found that to be the case in Prague as well. In my opinion a visit to CK is a must if you are in the area. It's a nice town to stroll around in and enjoy the spectacular views from the castle. I did a walking tour in CK, which was very informative as the guide described her experience growing up under communism. The thing about Krumau is that it has only tourists, almost no inhabitants left. It's a source of income to turn all the homes into hotels.

But somewhat sad. After the original inhabitants were forced to leave after the war, it was difficult to get new people to settle there.It actually was the birthplace of the vampire myth, not Romania. Don't know if tourist guides tell the story? The city is dead, but still there are endless records of the centuries past in the castle, that are untouched by historians until today. Lots of work for the scholars of the future.The area is really nice too.

Interresting what you tell. Ok, in the inner ciy there are all about tourists. I have czech friends there that dont want to go to the town anymore. I think Unesco should worry about that a little.But there are inhabitants arround the adventure center, and many of them uses some features. I like to find pubs and bars wher also the locals go, and there are plenty of them. But it is a problem. But my best experiences is a little out from the hassel.

U baby for example, in Rosweltova! Lovely place too meet people.
