From Prague: Český Krumlov Day Trip

What to bring

• Have a valid ID or passport with you, as it may be requested for verification during the excursion.

• If you plan to use the student discount, make sure you bring your ISIC card and be prepared to present it before the tour starts.

• Keep some Czech koruna on hand because smaller vendors and festival stalls commonly accept cash only.

• Choose sturdy, closed-toe footwear, as the sloping cobblestones throughout Český Krumlov can be uneven and require firm support.

• Pack a warm layer or light jacket, since temperatures in South Bohemia tend to be cooler and breezier than in Prague, even in warmer months.

• Bring a compact umbrella or lightweight raincoat, as brief rain showers can appear without warning, especially during spring and autumn.

What’s not allowed

• Avoid bringing large suitcases or oversized luggage, as these cannot be taken on the tour vehicle; only small bags that fit easily on board are permitted.

• Drones are not allowed in Český Krumlov without special authorization, as the old town is part of a protected UNESCO heritage zone.

Accessibility

• Please note that this tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. The medieval streets of Český Krumlov are often steep, narrow, and surfaced with uneven stone.

Additional information
