Free Time

Český Krumlov and its surroundings offer several ways to spend your free time. Certainly none of you would miss a tour of the Old Town, whether you choose to go with a seasoned local guide and listen to the stories, or if you set off on your own to explore the little shops and secret nooks.

From here, you’re free to choose whatever best suits your taste or momentary mood. If you’ve decided to take a tour through the monumental castle and chateau above the Vltava River, a pleasant stroll in the magnificent Baroque castle gardens, a walk back in time at the Seidel Photographic Museum, or if you choose anything else that our town or region has to offer, you’ll be sure to leave satisfied and with the hopes of coming back soon.
