Same as the bus, the ride takes around 3 hours. Since the last train is leaving 2 PM from Krumlov, we recommend either staying overnight or going back by bus. If you have an EU driving license you are allowed to drive in the Czech Republic.
Why not get a car and going there yourself? There are several car rental companies operating in Prague. Toyota Corolla or similar , full insurance and petrol. Getting to Cesky Krumlov by car is really easy and the distance of kilometers will take you around 2. You are your own master, you can leave any time you want, stop anywhere you want. However, during the tourist season, it may be quite difficult to find a parking spot at a reasonable distance.
Welcome Pickups are focusing on private airport pickups and all their drivers are hand-picked and well trained. For the similar price of a taxi or Uber, you will get a private driver with excellent English and knowledge of Prague and Cesky Krumlov who will be also your guide there. So two-in-one! The driver will be also waiting for you in front of your hotel, the airport or any other location in Prague. The service has excellent ratings on TripAdvisor 5 stars out of 2.
Stroll through the historic town center and see the magnificent Church of St. Vitus , a significant local landmark. Then visit the mighty Cesky Krumlov Castle that stands on a rock, overlooking the Vltava River and the town. If you like the idea of renting a car, check the prices, but you may get hit with a huge drop charge. Skip the rental car and use the CK Shuttle. While you are visiting Cesky Krumlov, you can store your luggage in the tourist information office. Just be aware that CK Shuttle is not cheap.
But if you are traveling solo or with one other person, this works well since you pay per person. However, if you are a family or group of four or more people, the rental car could still be the cheaper option.
Using the train does not work well , since there are no direct trains between Vienna and Cesky Krumlov that I could find. You can also travel by bus, but this can be time consuming. Your final option is to rent a car and day trip to Cesky Krumlov from one city.
For example, rent the car in Prague, see Cesky Krumlov, and then return to car to Prague the same day. This takes additional time, since you are not conveniently visiting Cesky Krumlov as you travel past it, but this could save you a lot of money. The Cesky Krumlov Tourist Information Center advertises that they will store luggage while you explore the town. The Tourist Information Center is located in town whereas the train station is located outside of town.
From the train station, you can walk or take the local bus to get from the train station to the TI office. Get updated hours and learn more on the Tourist Information Center website.

We will be traveling from Munich to Vienna and plan on visiting Linz and Steyr. What would be the best way using public transportation. Thank you.
If you have a hotel picked out in Linz, they might be able to give you information on the public transportation network. Hi, Beautiful place and wonderful post as always. We are 6 adults and 2 kids planning to reach Munich, pick cars and drive to Salzburg and Innsbruck. After seeing your post I was wondering if we can make a day trip to cesky krumlov from Salzburg. Or would you suggest spending a night there from Munich?
Yes, you can day trip to Cesky Krumlov from Salzburg. I think Salzburg is closer than Munich so it is better to do it from Salzburg. Cheers, Julie.

Option 2, the cheaper way : Use www. Feedback appreciated. Add a reserved seat to your booking? Seat reservations are optional on the mainline train and not possible on the branch line train. There's usually little point in worrying about reserving a seat, even in summer, although on a Monday morning train out of Prague, or a Friday or Sunday afternoon train back to Prague it might be a good idea. You can add a reservation when making a booking, or make one separately at www. You leave from Prague Hlavni, Prague's main station just 15 minutes walk from the old town square.
Inside the main entrance is a modern shopping centre, but upstairs you'll find the faded grandeur of the historic station.
