Southern Bohemia in One Day: Ceske Budejovice from Prague, Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic

Bohemia is one of the three historical regions that make up the Czech Republic, and one of the most relevant parts of the country historically. Its towns are filled with centuries of history and incredible sites. During one of my visits to the Czech Republic, I decided to explore the southern cities of České Budějovice and Český Krumlov. I only had one spare day, but visiting both is totally possible!

České Budějovice and Český Krumlov are located an hour and a half and two hours south of Prague respectively. Both cities are very close to each other, with the travelling time not reaching the 30 minutes. With a bit of planning and taking advantage the excellent bus routes of this region, it is possible to combine the two cities in just one day with enough time to spend in both.

The best option is departing early from Prague and stopping in České Budějovice. The bus to Český Krumlov will stop here anyway, so why not purchasing the tickets separately and spending a few hours in České Budějovice first. After exploring the town, you can take a 30 minute bus to Český Krumlov and make it there before lunch time. That will give you the entire afternoon and evening to explore this fascinating town before arriving back in Prague by dinner time! ......
