3.5 days in Prague, keen to visit CK if possible

Posted by on

Hi,

My wife and me, both in our mid 50s and avid walkers, are doing a 13 night trip to central Europe.

We land in Budapest, spend 4 nights there, then 5 nights in Vienna, and finally 4 nights in Prague.

The train from Vienna to Prague will eat up half a day, so we essentially get 3.5 days in Prague. We could dedicate the entire 3.5 days to explore Prague at leisure, or give 2.5 days to Prague and do a day trip to Cesky Krumlov. We are keen to visit CK due to its medieval beauty.

We understand that it takes 3 hours one way to/from CK. Question is, can we fit in CK into our itinerary, or should we concentrate on just enjoying Prague for the full 3.5 days?

Keen to hear from you all. Thanks.

I recently visited Prague and had a wonderful walking tour with Living Prague Tours. They offer a variety of tours. I took the one entitled WW II and Prague. Highly recommend!

I also enjoyed visiting the Klemetinum library and a classical music concert in the mirror chapel.

Can you stop in Cesky Krumlov on the way from Vienna to Prague?

CK is so worth the trip….it was a charming town that was easy to walk in and enjoy. We rented a car at the Prague train station and drove there. Prague is an amazing city…..we enjoyed the castle area, locals in costumes there at a festival, walking from the old town clock across the Charles River bridge and up the walk to the castle. The Jewish town area is beautiful where we also attended a concert one night.

Thanks to everyone who responded. The idea that we do Vienna - CK - Prague is interesting. It means we get 3 full days in Prague. Will explore this.

This also means we will have to store luggage CK station. Any tips on this? Are lockers available at CK station?

Yes it's worth an overnight. Something different from the two big cities you're visiting. Hotel Ruze is where we stayed.
