Prague In Depth with Český Krumlov
Stay in Lesser Town and explore the castle, Petřín Hill and the Jewish Quarter at a leisurely pace, with a day trip to Český Krumlov.
Compared with the first-visit route, this one adds secondary sights such as Petřín Hill, Strahov, Wallenstein Garden and Loreta, at a more relaxed pace. On day 4, take an early bus or train to Český Krumlov in the Czech Republic, about 3 hours each way. This suits those who don't want to change hotels. To stay overnight in Český Krumlov, choose a separate multi-city itinerary. Lesser Town is quiet but hilly.
Guided tours of the interior of Český Krumlov Castle run roughly April to October. In winter, only the exterior can be seen.
