The city is set up perfectly for wandering, and making your way to the aforementioned castle is a must. From there, you'll be rewarded with scenic views over the Old Town from its bell tower. There are great shopping options, fantastic restaurants here, and lots of intriguing things to do. Basically, there's no excuse not to visit Cesky Krumlov and have a good time.

Museums in Cesky Krumlov

There's a little something for everyone in the museum scene in the city, with an obvious focus on Cesky Krumlov itself. The castle can't be missed, along with its associated museum, the museum with exhibits covering the whole region, and even a monastery museum located in a former convent. As an added bonus, these museums and a few others can be combined into a single ticket for the equivalent of less than US$20.

Cesky Krumlov Regional Museum

This museum is the perfect place to start in Cesky Krumlov to get a good overview of the region. The collection is housed in a former Jesuit school, and the baroque-style building has been recently re-vamped.

The museum's highlight is a comprehensive model of the city's Old Town from its heyday. The model compresses the Old Town's 26 hectares into a more manageable size and shows visitors the many surrounding waterways. Plus, the impressive model recreates structures that have been lost over time, including gates, walls, and fortifications. The museum also explores the life of the "poet of Šumava," writer Adalbert Stifter in his childhood home

Castle Museum

No trip to Cesky Krumlov is complete without a visit to the iconic castle. And within the castle, you'll find an informative museum. Open since 2011, you can get an in-depth look at the previous residents, including the Rosenbergs and the Lords of Krumlov. Additionally, you can watch early 19th-century movies on the old cinematograph for something a bit different.

If you have the energy, plan to climb the roughly 160 steps to the top of the bell tower. You'll have seen it from street level, towering over the city, but this view will be a new perspective over the whole area, so don't forget a few photos.

Monastery Museum

Dedicated to preserving the art and life in the city's monasteries, this museum offers original paintings, altars, and frescoes in the Church of Corpus Christi and Our Lady of Sorrows. Aside from concerts and events, this is still a working church, so do keep that in mind as you tour around.

You can also take a guided tour of the museum to ensure you don't miss out on any of the treasures within. Specific highlights include painted Gothic cloisters, painted ceilings, a 17th-century chapel, and a cellar with eerie tombstones.

To avoid carrying unnecessary items as you tour these museums, consider using a left luggage service like Bounce to drop things off for the day. Then, you can avoid constantly checking bags in somewhere new - if luggage storage is even available.

Shopping in Cesky Krumlov

Retail Park

This aptly named shopping mall has all the essentials you may need while visiting Cesky Krumlov. It's outside Old Town but can be reached by bus if you don't have a car. There's a Lidl grocery store, a pharmacy, clothing stores, and home goods stores here. You can also grab a bit to eat at a few restaurants.

Latran Street

For more of a leisurely shopping experience for non-essentials, head to Latran Street in the heart of the city. This is where you'll find the best local shops for souvenirs. The street is lined with everything from a spice shop to clothing stores to jewelry boutiques, so you can find something suitable regardless of your budget. Chances are that you will wander past this street naturally, so it's easy to fit into your itinerary.

Roseta Keramika

When your goal is to take home some of the region's beautiful ceramics, stop in at Roseta Keramika, also located on Latran Street. This shop deserves an honorable mention due to its attention to detail and a huge selection of ceramic options. The prices are a little higher than other ceramic and souvenir stores, but the quality is top-notch, and as we all know, you often get what you pay for.

Some shops along Latran Street are very small, so leaving your backpacks and suitcases with a luggage storage facility in Cesky Krumlov is a good idea before you head out. Then, it'll be much easier to carry shopping bags full of exciting new things.

Restaurants in Cesky Krumlov

Krčma Šatlava

The name may be a little tricky to say, but this traditional Czech restaurant is the perfect introduction to the Cesky Krumlov food scene. The menu has translations for English speakers, and the staff is super helpful. They serve trdelnik, a tasty wood-fired dough covered in sugar, as street food, but they also have a dine-in menu that's sure to impress. Try the garlic soup served in a loaf of bread if you're hungry or the bowl of cracklings for something unique.

Perhaps the cherry on top of this restaurant is the setting. The low stone ceilings give the feeling of being in a cave, and the open grill adds warmth and coziness.

Švejk Restaurant

Another sold option in Old Town for a meal is Švejk Restaurant. They also serve traditional fare, and favorites include roasted trout, authentic cream soup, and fried pork chops. The interior is mainly wood, and this casual spot is always welcoming. The food is beautifully presented; the best way to wash down your meal is with a local beer.

Nonna Gina

Venturing away from traditional Czech cuisine, we draw your attention to Nonna Gina, the best Italian restaurant in town. Sometimes, you need something more familiar, and this place fits the bill. From wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas to delicious pasta, you might think you've been transported to Italy for a few hours. It could be worse!

Like the shops in Cesky Krumlov, the restaurants tend to be on the small side. Don't plan to show up for dinner with a ton of bags - there will be nowhere to put them. Instead, rely on Bounce for your luggage storage. Cesky Krumlov is also ideal for an after-dinner stroll where your bags will definitely get in the way.
