Ideal length
A journey between grand Gothic architecture and small village breweries — Prague, the city of a hundred spires, then Český Krumlov, a medieval town coiled around a bend in the Vltava.
The trip begins on Old Town Square, facing the astronomical clock whose mechanism has run for over six hundred years. Prague Castle, the largest ancient castle complex in the world, and Charles Bridge, lined with thirty baroque statues, round out the discovery of a city that has crossed the centuries without ever being destroyed by war — which explains the rare density of its still-intact Gothic and baroque architecture.
Český Krumlov closes the trip on a more modest scale — an entire medieval town coiled around a bend in the Vltava, its street layout unchanged since the Middle Ages. The castle, the country's second-largest, overlooks the red roofs from its trompe-l'œil painted tower, while the cobbled lanes, quieter than Prague's, keep the pace of a small town best explored slowly, with no goal beyond getting a little lost.
