5-day itinerary

Prague

Český Krumlov is three hours from Prague by bus and most visitors never go — which makes no sense given it is arguably the most beautiful small town in Bohemia, with a 13th-century castle complex rising above a river bend that looks unchanged since the 17th century. Take the morning Student Agency bus and come back the same evening. This 5-day Prague itinerary covers the castle and Charles Bridge on day one, Josefov and Vinohrady on day two — buy the Jewish Quarter joint ticket online, the six synagogues and the cemetery require a full morning — the Český Krumlov day trip on day three, then two final days for Vyšehrad, the Žižkov TV tower neighbourhood with its dive bars and David Černý crawling babies, and the Holešovice arts district on the north bank.
