What will you discover?

Cesky Krumlov Castle and Gardens The castle stands as the town's premier attraction. Following Prague Castle, it holds the distinction of being the Czech Republic's second largest fortress. This originally Gothic 13th-century structure underwent extensive Renaissance renovations. Further restoration occurred under the Eggenberg family during the 17th century, with major reconstruction taking place during Josef I Adam of Schwarzenberg's era, who designed the château theatre in the 18th century and constructed the renowned four-story bridge. The château's wooden theatre remains one of the world's oldest functioning theaters of its type. Among Cesky Krumlov's most distinctive features are the bears that have inhabited the castle moat since the Rosenberg era. During our private excursion, we'll gladly explain the fascinating story behind these bears. We'll begin with a stroll through the magnificent baroque gardens before guiding you through the entire castle complex, where you can participate in captivating interior tours.
