Nestled in the curves of the Vltava River, Český Krumlov—also known by its German name Krumau—feels like a storybook town brought to life. With its pastel-hued facades, cobbled lanes, and the majestic 13th-century castle perched above it all, this South Bohemian gem is one of the Czech Republic’s most enchanting destinations. Český Krumlov isn’t just a place to visit—it’s a place to linger, to breathe in history, and to feel like you’ve stepped into another time.
