Escape from the bustle and banality of everyday life to a unique place where you will have time for each other. A wide range of programmes with various things to experience has been prepared for you. The hidden corners of the medieval city are perfect for taking romantic walks and especially at that time when you only meet a few tourists in the city, so you can enjoy those few moments spent together uninterrupted by others.

For those who love a magical atmosphere, there is no better place
The historical seat of the Rosenberg family includes several chateau buildings, the famous Masquerade Hall, a unique Baroque theatre, chateau gardens with a Rococo fountain and the Bellaria summer palace. Although the chateau is closed until March, you can visit the recently opened Castle Museum which is open all year round and is located right under the famous Krumlov chateau tower in the building called Hrádek. This will provide you with an insight into the Rosenbergs, the Lords of Krumlov, the Eggenbergs, the Schwarzenbergs and other important noblemen who lived in Český Krumlov over the centuries and changed the face of the city. You will be welcomed right at the entrance by a magnificent model, which captures the late Gothic appearance of the residence in Český Krumlov in around 1550. The interiors of the museum will remind you of the golden age of European museums in the 19th century, typical for which was variety and imaginativeness, going hand in hand with the outstanding quality of the handicrafts used.
What should you definitely see?
Several artists took a liking to Český Krumlov; these included the eminent Austrian artist Egon Schiele (1890–1918).
