About the trip
Travel back in time and discover two jewels of South Bohemia. This trip will take you to the fairy-tale neo-Gothic Hluboká Castle, which will enchant you with its elegant halls and beautiful gardens. Afterwards, you will explore the medieval streets of Český Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage town where one of the largest castle complexes in the country majestically rises above the Vltava River’s meanders. Prepare for a day full of history, romance, and breathtaking photo opportunities.
