Description
Join me for a live-streamed, interactive walk-in Český Krumlov, a picturesque Czech Republic town designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992.
We will begin our tour with the famous panoramic views of the Old town and the large medieval castle that overlooks the Vltava river. Then, marvel at the Gothic architectural style of the historic St. Vitus Church before visiting the Formal Jesuit College and the Jesuit Gardens, dwelling on the country's religious history.
The next stop of our tour will be Swarnoski Square, surrounded by several beautiful buildings, one of them being the Town Hall. At the Barber's Bridge and hear about the legends of the barber that lend it the name. From the bridge, you can also take in the postcard-perfect view of the castle and the river. Barber's bridge connects the two parts of Cesky Krumlov. We will then cross over to visit the other part of town with houses adorned with beautiful frescos discovered relatively recently during renovation works. We will walk down Latran street and see the Minorite Monastery and the Red Bridge.
Towards the end of the tour, we will visit the Castle, exploring the five different castle courtyards and the glorious Castle Tower, followed by the Cloak Bridge. Here, we can try spotting bears in the moat as we relish the lovely view beyond us.
