The
old town center with its huge square and attractive architecture
- a mix of Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles, is enjoyed
best by walking around. The city sights can easily be seen in
half a day. If you plan to do the brewery tour as well allow
a whole day. A trip to Hluboka Palace will take another half
day. It's possible to visit Ceske Krumlov for a day from Ceske
Budejovice but it's such a beautiful town with lots to see and
do that it's better to stay over at Krumlov at least a couple
of days.
