Let’s get back to the Renaissance era and visit the extraordinary pearl of our country – Český Krumlov.
An amazing castle overlooking Český Krumlov is definitely one of the places in Czech republic worth visiting. Over three centuries it was the seat of the Rosenbergs who influenced the fate and architecture of the whole region. Castle in Český Krumlov offers many richly decorated interiors, one of the highlights is the famous Masquerade Hall, on whose walls you can see, through paintings, mirrors and optical illusions, a high-spirited carnival ball with ladies and gallant gentlemen. The beauty of Castle is also in the gardens that are opened to public for free. There you will find the world-famous Revolving Theatre where the famous opera singers regularly perform.
After enjoying the Castle you have to spend some time in the city itself, just to walk through its maze-like alleyways, houses of rich families decorated with coats of arms and many artisan shops.
By the way, did you know that you can also enjoy rafting on the Vltava (Moldau) river during the summer? Do you want to try? 🙂
