I always spent Christmas at home, but this year my parents and I took a tour through Czech and visited 2 cities. Was it worth it? Read here…

Cesky Krumlov

Cesky Krumlov is a town in southern Bohemia and is reminiscent of a medieval fairytale town. It is the cutest city you can visit.

The huge castle was unfortunately closed over Christmas, but just walking around there leaves visitors amazed. I recommend that everyone take the opportunity to take a tour to learn more about the history of the city. However, there was a Christmas market during Christmas and they have the best mulled wine I’ve ever had.

TO VISIT:

If you are currently in Austria, Cesky Krumlov is a suitable day trip. Unfortunately there was no snow and it rained and stormed non-stop, but a visit is still suitable at any time of the year.

Cesky Krumlov Castle – You get a wonderful view over the medieval city center. Don’t forget to stop by the theater and the castle park.

Cathedral of St. Vitus – This cathedral is worth a visit.

MLS Creperie – As the name suggests…Here you can get all types of crepes, from sweet to savory in large portions.

BON BON – A chocolate shop with very tasty chocolates.

Brno

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic. I think it’s even more beautiful than Prague. I’ll tell you how you can see Brno within 1-2 days.

Of course, everything here was closed over Christmas and I actually recommend visiting this city in the summer.

The Old Town Hall is beautiful to look at and right next to it is a beautiful market square which hosts a huge (and I mean huge) Christmas market in winter. These have until December 23rd. open.

Another important stop should be Spilberk Castle. It used to serve mainly as barracks, a military prison and housed serious criminals. I definitely recommend taking a tour here too.

If you want to escape city life, I recommend Luzanky Park. Very inviting for a walk or just relaxing.

And finally: Visit the Church of St. Peter and Paul. A beautiful church with a view over the entire city.
