If you could only spend an overnight in either Cesky Krumlov Czech R. Or Korcula, Croatia which would you choose.? Yes we are spending days in Prague, Vienna, Budapest, Split and Dubrovnik. But seem to have to choose one or the other. Guidance, preference please.

Hi, I’ve stayed in both. I would pick Korcula for more contrast to your other locations & for the opportunity to stay on one of the islands in Croatia. (I also stayed in Hvar & like it, too.)
I really enjoyed my short stay on Korcula with a RS tour, and wish it could have been longer. It's a beautiful and interesting location.
Ive done both. What month?
June through August flip a coin. Depends on your interests. The rest of the year Cesky Krumlov.
Without question it would be Korcula. We found it to be more interesting and far less touristy than CK. Loved everything about the time we spent there.
Just one night? I think a single overnight on Korcula is a colossal waste of time getting to and from.
But if you are talking about adding a night, that might sway my opinion.
I dont know the ferry schedule but a morning one in from Split and a late one out to Dubrovnik. I was only okay with Korcula. The side trip only adds 1 hour additional travel time.
Cesky Krumlov with an early shuttle out of Prague then a late one on to Vienna also sort of works and adds 1.5 hours vs a straight train between Prague and Vienna. The advantage with the Cesky Krumlov detour is its door to door not port to port or station to station. From the shuttle you can see countryside. From the boat, water; but you can move around more.
I think its about time of year and personal interests. I loved Cesky for the river raft, castle theater, ambiance, architecture ... its so freeking pretty in the evening. Korcula was more of Croatia. Warm and comfortable. Both are expensive.
I haven't been to Cesky Krumlov yet but have been researching a trip to Prague and wouldn't miss CK. We spent 3 nights on Korcula as part of a one month long road trip of Croatia and Slovenia. Korcula was nice but not special for us. There are many similar towns on the mainland. Consider what you would do in each place. I'd pick CK. How many nights are you spending in Split? That was also not a highlight for us.
