Friends, welcome! If you prefer independent travel, then one day you will be interested, or already interested, the following question: how to get from Prague to Cesky Krumlov. No one doubts that this town should be included in your itinerary in the Czech Republic. Cesky Krumlov seemed to have stepped out of the picture and opened the doors to the medieval world for us, so that we could look into the distant past:

Such arches, narrow picturesque streets, and picturesque landscape of Cesky Krumlov attracts everyone. Not many similar towns have survived, so for travelers who come to the Czech Republic, this is one of the main points of the tourist program.

There are several ways to visit this medieval town in the south of the Czech Republic. You can contact travel agencies and join a group trip. But now more and more travelers prefer to plan their routes and independently get to the sights of interest to them. I am a supporter of the same practice, so in this article I will share my experience on how to make a trip to Cesky Krumlov on your own.

How to get from Prague to Cesky Krumlov by bus "Student agency"

We went to Cesky Krumlov by the student agency bus. And you, friends, I recommend using this method. Personally, I really like this transport network. I remember that we used to get to the Student agency bus, which left only positive impressions.

The benefits of traveling by student agency buses are attractive ticket prices and travel speed, since Student agency buses run non-stop, unlike regular buses.

I don’t know why this office is called a student office, but it looks like it’s because college-age boys and girls work as stewards on the buses. Yes, the trip is served by stewards who will offer you tea or coffee, magazines, headphones. All the way you can listen to music or watch movies on the screen mounted in the back of the seat in front.

It's great if you have already discovered such a convenient way to travel around the Czech Republic. If this is new to you, then now we will find out everything you need to travel to Cesky Krumlov:

1. Where to buy tickets
2. Where does the bus depart from?
3. Where does the bus arrive

Where to buy tickets

It is simple and customary to buy tickets at regular ticket offices. Student agency ticket offices are located in different districts of Prague, as well as at the airport in Terminal 1. That is, it is quite possible to buy bus tickets immediately upon arrival in the Czech Republic, if you have already drawn up your travel plan.

Not a problem if you want to look around and buy tickets later. There are enough points in Prague where the ticket offices of the agency we need are open. For example, at Prague 1 - Revoluční 25 . There is also a cashier on the main railway station and at the Florence bus station. I have indicated these three points on the map:

We bought tickets at the box office for Florence. The bus station is located a few steps from the exit from the metro (the station is called in the same way), where, among other ticket offices in the new terminal, the one we need is located. I'll tell you right away how much the ticket costs: a trip from Prague to Cesky Krumlov in both directions for one person will cost 400 CZK.

It is also convenient to buy tickets on the company's website. In this case, you do not have to look for a ticket office, and you can place your order even at the hotel, even on a park bench. You can buy tickets while still at home so you don't have to worry about them while traveling.

Since the Student agency not only provides bus services, but also sells air tickets and train tickets, and also sells tours, I will describe in a separate article the complete algorithm for buying bus tickets. To eliminate possible confusion.

Where does the bus depart from?

It is important to know and remember that buses from Prague to Cesky Krumlov do not leave from the Florence bus station, but from a platform located in another district of Prague called Smichov. The platform (or maybe it's a station) is called Na Knížecí. See the location on the map:

For ease of viewing, click on the image

But there are no difficulties getting to the point of departure of the Na Knížecí bus. The platform is located next to the metro station (line B). The main thing is to be in the right place on time, since the bus leaves strictly at the time indicated on the ticket. Look carefully at the signs, in which direction you need to exit, so that later you do not go around the bush))

Where is the bus stop in Cesky Krumlov

It will take you 2 hours 55 minutes to get from Prague to Cesky Krumlov. As you already understood, you will ride comfortably and without stopping. Although, one stop will still be in big city... But it lasts no more than 10 minutes. Take a closer look at the Budejovice bus station - from here it is convenient to go to the castle, which I will tell you about separately.

The bus drives up to Krumlov and for some time winds its way through its streets, but not the historical ones for which you came, but through the usual neighborhoods. The bus station is located at the foot of the rock mass, on which is located historical Center... It is enough to get off the bus, walk up the path, and you will find yourself on the first observation deck, from which the main ones are already perfectly visible:

This is how we, one misty autumn morning, began our acquaintance with the amazing town of Cesky Krumlov ...

Other ways to get from Prague to Cesky Krumlov

You can get to Cesky Krumlov by train. But there is no direct railway connection between Prague and this city, so you will have to change trains in České Budějovice. If you want to see this one too, then it makes sense to choose this way of moving.

Perhaps some are more comfortable traveling by train. In this case, it is necessary to select connecting trains so that the transfer takes place quickly enough. However, the schedule is designed to make transit easier for passengers. But it should be borne in mind that the road will take more time than the trip by the Student agency bus - about four hours. For this reason, I find it much easier to get to Cesky Krumlov from Prague by bus. And cheaper, by the way.

Perhaps my recommendations on this issue have been exhausted. If they are useful to any of you, friends, I will be very glad. If you know of alternative ways how to conveniently organize independent trip to Cesky Krumlov, tell us too. These tips will come in handy on future trips!

Your euro-guide Tatiana

In the article I will try to summarize the information that I was looking for before traveling. What can you visit? What to travel on (and how to organize it)? Where to eat? What to look for when exchanging currency? Travel cost? And of course there will be photos - where can we go without them.

The whole journey took 4 days, excluding the road. 2 days to Prague, and one to Krumlov and Karlovy Vary. This was enough for the first acquaintance.

We got to Prague Ecolines buses. The route was from Kaliningrad, in transit through Warsaw. Nothing special happened here - the buses are quite comfortable (especially from Warsaw to Prague - even with leather seats), they were late due to the tightening of paperwork by the Polish border guards (this is not even tightening, but just deliberate delay - now even cash is required to be shown for entry, ), although our border guards respond in kind. Therefore, we stood at the Polish border for 3 hours.
So, I'll start from the center of my journey - from Prague.

Prague

The first thing, of course, you should start your acquaintance with Prague with is Old city, where the central place is occupied by the Old Town Square, on which such central sights as the Tyn Church are located, the astronomical clock (I noticed it after I arrived home, when a friend mentioned something about it - it was fantastic), the Town Hall Tower.

Not far to the north-east, there is Wenceslas Square - initially imagined it as a completely standard city square. But I was somewhat surprised to see it - after all, it is, in fact, a wide long avenue leading from the Old City to the majestic, old (in the best sense of the word) Building national museum... Along the entire square there are various brand shops, restaurants, supermarkets (of course, in old, beautiful buildings), and on the square itself there is a statue of St. Wenceslas.

On the opposite side of Wenceslas Square, the Old Town Square is adjacent to the Charles Bridge, decorated with religious sculptures and observation towers. The people on it, as in the market in its the best time, so if you want to be there alone, then come early in the morning - at 6-7. I didn't succeed at 6-7, as did a couple of hundred people with me.

A little bit about beautiful views- if you want to see a stunning panorama of Prague - do not be lazy and climb to the top of Petrin Hill - you can walk, you can take a funicular. I went up on foot and did not regret it at all. The hill itself is a park with paths leading to the top, where the observation tower is located (not similar to the Eiffel one in design). The higher you climb the hill, the more beautiful the view of the city becomes, as if rewarding you for every 50 meters of ascent. There is also a restaurant on the hill if you want to take a break and admire the excellent views of the city. At the top, you can climb the observation tower. I didn’t climb the tower - there was a rather big queue on it, and the weather was hot, and I also took my jacket and sweater with my weather pessimism. In general, I preferred to continue my walk in the park.

You can also visit the hill - Vitkov Park, from where a panoramic view of the city opens, and where there is a monumental memorial to the memory of the Czechoslovak legionnaires who died during the First World War.

Requires a visit to the Vysehrad fortress (it is better to get there by public transport, I did not have time to visit - my legs simply did not carry me there on the last day of the trip), Prague Castle, Zlata Ulichka.

There are many buildings in Prague with their own history (philharmonic halls, synagogues, residences, castles, etc.), so if you are interested in something specific, it is better to find out about it on the Internet.

Karlovy Vary

Be sure to visit this wonderful town. So, the program for Karlovy Vary:

Just take a walk in the center- this is already amazing, old houses that create the atmosphere of the city. Each house is a work of art, you can play the game “Find a house without stucco and sculpture”. Next visit 12 underground mineral springs (the 13th is Becherovka)(and try the healing water) - they are located not far from each other - you can get around on foot. Try local waffles different flavors (you can also buy it in supermarkets).

So, looking around and feeling the atmosphere of the city, look at him from above! Moreover, it is located among forest-covered mountains and hills. For this lesson, I used 2 places - these are Jeleni skok(more precisely, almost reaching it) and Diana's tower.

The first is located in a forest park (there is definitely one squirrel in it, I personally saw it))). There, to my surprise, there were very few people - a person met 6. The place itself is a high ledge on a hill (there is a monument - a bust of Peter I and a cross - yes, it turns out he often prayed at the place when he was in Karlovy Varakh). The view of the city from there is beautiful.

The second place is Diana's Tower, the ascent to it begins behind the Grand Hotel Pupp (a narrow street on the side of it). You can climb on foot, or you can take a funicular. The height is higher there than on Jeleni skok, and the view is correspondingly more extensive. The very place where the city is located is also very picturesque: green mountains and hills surround it on all sides.

Cesky Krumlov.

Already at the entrance to the town you will see green mountains and hills, and you understand that you were not mistaken with your choice. I expected a beautiful castle complex from this place, but a great location added as a bonus. From the bus station I walked to the castle complex, the inspection of which, in fact, takes most of the time. The complex itself is the castle itself with large gardens overlooking the green spaces surrounding you. The second part of the complex is the old town itself, just take a walk around it and enjoy it (the view of the castle opens). In the town itself there are many restaurants, guesthouses, hotels, there is a central square on which the majestic Church of St. Vitus is located. The city is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. Who cares - the city organizes river rafting. If you come to the city for at least a couple of days, you can arrange a trek to Mount Klet, 1070 m high, where the highest observatory in the Czech Republic and an observation tower are located - unfortunately, I did not have enough time for that.

Summarizing the impressions, I will not be original, I will say that all the places are incredibly atmospheric (although the tourists around do not let them forget that you are in the 21st century). These are not 2-3 historical houses, not a street or a block - these are entire cities, where the atmosphere does not end around every corner, but is only supplemented by another new location. I always liked to just stop in some place and realize that so much has already happened in this very place: wars, walks of royal families, and just here the lives of so many people have passed in different time, they built houses that we are looking at right now, lived in them, walked the roads that we now walk on, and now you, too, have become a small part of this place. At such moments, you understand how interesting and amazing our world is.

Now the organizational part:

The main sights, it is quite possible to get around on foot. But you can use services public transport- in Prague there are metro (3 lines), trams, buses. Tickets are divided by validity time. The smallest one - for 30 minutes, costs 24 kroons, there is also for 90 minutes, 1 day, 3 days. You can buy tickets at tobacco kiosks (they usually have TABAK written on them) or in vending machines (only coins are accepted, change is given). They also say that tickets can be purchased at the metro ticket offices, but when I approached such a ticket office, there was a sign something like “There are no tickets, buy from the machine” - perhaps they simply ran out or the ticket office did not work. The ticket also applies to the funicular, which will take you to the Petrin Hill. Do not forget to validate your tickets at the entrance to the transport or metro station. To help in planning routes in Prague - the Pubtran application and the sites http://www.dpp.cz/, jizdnirady.idnes.cz. In Krumlov and Karlovy Vary, I was not even interested by public transport- there it seems it is possible (and, probably, necessary) to get around everything on foot.

A few words about nutrition... - that's not mine. I ate mainly in supermarkets and it was very good - the most popular are Albert, Billa, Tesco, LIdl, at least in cities they are in sufficient quantities. It was just convenient for me to eat in them (during the day while traveling, and in the evening - calmly at the hotel, digesting the impressions of the day). The outdoor electric kettle also turned out to be irreplaceable - it is tea at any time, cereals (it satisfies hunger for a long time, and is useful), soups. Thus, I ensured myself food for the whole day. There is no shortage of restaurants anywhere - so, you can always eat in them, if you have the time and desire (well, money does not hurt either, they are usually also demanded in restaurants).

You can get a city map (and other reference information) at tourist information centers, in Prague it is located literally 10 meters to the left of the astronomical clock. In Karlovy Vary and in Krumlov, they are located in the center (can be easily found on the map).

The main currency in the Czech Republic it is the Czech crown, but the euro is also used. With the help of euros, you can pay in large stores, but change will be given in kroons (it is better to keep a good tone - that is, if you want to change 100 euros, buy something for 40-50 euros). Pay attention to the commission when exchanging currencies, and the "small print" - may indicate a rate for an exchange over 1000 euros, and when exchanging a smaller amount, there will be a completely different rate. The reputation of exchangers is better with those that are "held" by Arabs (it happens that Africans work in them) - they are afraid of problems with the law and complaints and therefore, as a rule, they exchange honestly. When exchanging, ask to show on the calculator - the amount that you will receive (they say, if they showed the amount on the calculator, then they will give it out - this is a kind of form of concluding an agreement). I changed in an already verified exchanger (on the advice of friends), and there were no problems (the African even began to speak Russian himself, although I started in English))).

And further, be careful with personal belongings- pickpockets in Prague are sea, so keep the most personal as close to you as possible (preferably in your inner pockets). Well, standard precautions - make scans of passports on a flash drive (or in cloud services), visas, write down a couple of numbers of loved ones, the address of the embassy. All this will ease the bureaucratic delays if, God forbid, one of these things is stolen from you.

A little bit about regional transport- I personally used buses, and I'm more than happy with them and the price. Used by RegioJet companies (probably the most popular local bus carrier). I also used Flixbus services. In both cases, the buses were comfortable, and Flixbus also distributes water for free! Tickets can be booked in advance on the Internet or bought at the train station (but there may not be seats here and the choice will be somewhat limited). It is enough to show the ticket number and your trip will begin. Also check at the station for information on the statuses of flights - if you see that there is no bus, they may be late (although this has not happened to me) and report this to the station.

In Prague Hotel Adeba- very good for your money, 3 *. Due to its location, I only used public transport once. One of the bright advantages is a mini fridge in the room. There were no problems with the staff, they give free card Prague. True, the TV does not accept a USB flash drive (but these are trifles). Nearby Railway, but it did not bother me at all. The room is neat, clean, everything you need is there.

The cost of travel.

- 12,000 rubles (this is with a canceled reservation, and without it - even cheaper, somewhere around 9,500 rubles) - a hotel, 3 nights, a double room (and if there are two of you, then only 6,000 per person), a 3-star hotel, 10 minutes from the Florenc bus station, and 15 from the center.
- 5500 rubles - bus Kaliningrad - Prague (round trip).
- 14 euros - bus Prague - Cesky Krumlov (round trip)
- 12 euros - bus Prague - Karlovy Vary (round trip).

Nutrition is everyone's business, but personally 800-1000 rubles a day was enough for me. Total 2500-3000 r.
And of course visa + medical insurance - about 5000 rubles. But I already had a visa, so these expenses passed me. I made a visa to a friend - the Czechs gave a one-time ticket to a clean passport without any problems.

Total:
6000 RUB (since the room was paid for two) + 5500 p. + 26 euros + 3000 r = 16370 p. - in 4 days in 3 cities of the Czech Republic. I think not bad with the current course.

Expert opinion

Cesky Krumlov is one of the best excursions from Karlovy Vary on Sundays. The program includes a walking tour of the historic city, which is fully protected by UNESCO, and a visit to the most beautiful and famous castle in the Czech Republic.

This excursion program will be of interest to almost all age categories. Children will be delighted with the fairytale feeling that will accompany them throughout the excursion, while more mature tourists will enjoy the exciting history, unique architecture and gastronomic delights that South Bohemia has always been famous for.

The main and only drawback of this excursion program is the travel time. Before the castle "Hluboka nad Vltavou", the first point of the excursion, you will have to spend three and a half hours on the bus, and the way back will take another 30 minutes longer. Of course, there will be pauses along the way, during which you can rest, but even taking them into account, you need to really assess your strengths and if you cannot stand long travels, it is better to refrain from this trip.

Top reasons to go on an excursion

Cesky Krumlov is the second most visited city in the Czech Republic, and Hluboka Castle is the most a beautiful castle in the country. These places are full of wonderful surprises and secrets that you will surely reveal when you visit our excursion from Karlovy Vary.

We hope that the following reasons will help you make a choice in favor of the excursion Cesky-Krumlov and Hluboka Castle.

During the excursion you will visit a cozy city with an extraordinary atmosphere.

Cesky-Krumlov is small town, in which there is a mass interesting places... This is great news, but it will take you a few days to see all this. You will have to run from one place to another, and perhaps be only a few minutes where you would like to stay longer. Cesky-Krumlov, in this respect, is much more interesting, since all its attractions are concentrated in the center. As a result, you can fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of each place, explore museums, churches and historical buildings, without thinking about time and rush.

Cesky Krumlov is home to a huge number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Cesky Krumlov is a unique city of its kind, combining Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. Nestled comfortably on the banks of the Vltava River, it is ideal for a leisurely stroll, because it seems that time has practically stopped here. If you are a fan of red roofs, colorful houses and crooked narrow streets, the Old Town of Cesky Krumlov should definitely be included in your program of must-see places in the Czech Republic.

Cesky Krumlov is located at a decent distance from Prague, so you will not find excessively high prices here.

Overall, the Czech Republic is one of the cheapest countries in Western Europe. Nevertheless, everything will cost more in Prague - this applies not only to hotels, but also to drinks, food and entrance tickets to museums and other attractions. For example, a room in a mid-range hotel will cost about 30 euros in Cesky Krumlov, but no less than 50 euros in Prague. A tour of Cesky Krumlov Castle costs about 6 euros, and a tour of Prague Castle will cost about 20 euros.

On the excursion you will learn about the rich past of Cesky Krumlov.

While Prague has always been beautiful and well-preserved (during the Second World War it suffered very little destruction), Cesky Krumlov went through hard times and after the war was almost completely destroyed. It took several decades to restore the city to its former appearance. If you are interested in learning how the past of the city shapes its appearance, an excursion from Karlovy Vary to Cesky Krumlov is a great reason to start learning.

During the tour, you will see a unique theater under open air.

Cesky Krumlov Castle houses the country's only baroque open-air palace theater (and one of the few in the world). Since 1682 the theater has been in working order. All mechanisms, including the original moving stages, curtains, orchestra pit, decor and libretto, are carefully and promptly restored. The theater is open to the public only twice a year, and getting your ticket is the event of the century.

During a tour of Cesky Krumlov, you will have the opportunity to explore the medieval regions.

Latran is an area within the city that appears to date back to the Middle Ages. Here you can see colorful yellow and orange buildings dating back to the 1500s, adjacent to the Gothic houses. Budweiser Gate, the only gate left from medieval fortress, St. Joseph's Church and the Castle Brewery are excellent examples of medieval architecture.

Going to this excursion, You will see a masterpiece of the Baroque style - Hluboka Castle.

Less than 30 kilometers from Cesky Krumlov is the most beautiful castle in the Czech Republic - Hluboka Castle, which is a national cultural monument. Until 1940, it remained a residential residence, until the Gestapo took over it. Now the castle is a museum, where visitors, as part of our excursion from Karlovy Vary, can walk through several of the 140 rooms and 11 towers of this huge castle, appreciate the interior and furniture. Perhaps the most impressive room is the 19th century kitchen, which is also open to the public.
