I think this small town in the Czech Republic may have just topped Bruges as my favorite small town I’ve visited so far. The adorable winding cobbled streets, the wedding cake like castle tower, the rambling river, the daily crafts market, not to mention having half the amount of tourists as Bruges and significantly cheaper prices. I only spent two full days in this charming town but it would have been an excellent place to stop and rest for longer. The hostel, as advertised, was more like a house then a hostel- they even insisted guests remove their shoes at the front door. Krumlov House made me feel right at home and gave me lots of interesting suggestions for how to spend my short time in Cesky Krumlov. My favorite suggestion was the relaxing four hour rafting trip where a few friends and I floated down the Vltava River on a sunny afternoon. Here are a few pictures from the weekend to get a taste of my visit. Please excuse my obsession with the castle tower, it was just so pretty!
