The beautiful walled city of Český Krumlov is the second most popular tourist attraction in the Czech Republic after Prague.
The center of the city has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and well deserves the designation: a visit is like stepping back in time to the 14th century as you stroll this perfectly preserved labyrinth of laneways with its many Renaissance homes and buildings. Highlights include a number of well-preserved religious sites, including the Minorite Monastery and the exquisite Church of St. Vitus, along with a number of interesting art galleries and museums.
In addition to its quieter pursuits, the city also boasts an abundance of fine restaurants, while the adventurous can hike nearby Mount Klet' or take a kayak or boat ride along the River Vltava.
We are students and volunteers, thrilled to meet new international people coming to Czech University of Life Sciences.
