The best time to visit is <strong>May or June<\/strong>, when there are fewer tourists, while in July and August both Krumlov and Lipno get overcrowded. For 2026 there is a swimming ban near Podolsko on the Orl\u00edk reservoir due to cyanobacteria; for guaranteed clean water head to Sta\u0148kovsk\u00fd pond or the T\u0159ebo\u0148 sand pits. The big news is the return of the <strong>Jind\u0159ich\u016fv Hradec narrow-gauge railway<\/strong> from spring 2026 for 55 CZK (about \u20ac2.30) on the route to Nov\u00e1 Byst\u0159ice. With kids, a safe bet is Lipno with its Treetop Walkway from 190 CZK (about \u20ac8) or Hlubok\u00e1 Zoo for 180 CZK (about \u20ac7.40); a long weekend is enough for a holiday, though a full week is ideal.<\/div>\n<!-- \/lk-tldr -->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We come back to South Bohemia, Czech Republic almost every single year, and I have to admit this corner of the country never stops charming me. It&#8217;s a <strong>perfect mix of romance, deep forests and ponds<\/strong> that shimmer into the distance in summer, and we always discover something new. Whether we&#8217;re wandering Renaissance lanes or soaking up the peace of nature, we always relax wonderfully here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe it&#8217;s the all-pervading calm, or simply the fact that they make <strong>the best kulajda (creamy mushroom soup) in the world<\/strong>, but wine so often loses out in our summers to South Bohemian beer and blueberry dumplings. \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re planning where to head this year, I&#8217;ve put together <strong>a proper guide to the most beautiful spots<\/strong> you definitely shouldn&#8217;t miss. I&#8217;ve included not only our personal favourites but also practical tips on where to stay, what not to skip with kids, and what to watch out for this year so you&#8217;re not disappointed once you&#8217;re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8eed4758101&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8eed4758101\" class=\"wp-block-image

Bohemia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Bohemia is beautiful year-round, but if you want to enjoy the sights and nature without pushing through crowds of tourists, <strong>the ideal time to go is May or June<\/strong>. The days are already gloriously long, nature is fresh and green, and at popular spots you&#8217;ll meet just a fraction of the people compared with the peak summer season. In July and August you have to expect the top destinations to burst at the seams, and the beloved Vltava River turns into one big highway full of rafts for paddlers. If you&#8217;re heading to the water, <strong>keep an eye on the current 2026 swimming quality<\/strong>, because a strict swimming ban is in place at Orl\u00edk in the Podolsko area due to an extreme cyanobacteria bloom. Lipno usually only starts to deteriorate in the second half of August, but the sure bet for clean water all summer long remains the T\u0159ebo\u0148 region with its sand pits or the popular Sta\u0148kovsk\u00fd pond, where you can swim without worry even at the end of the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Especially in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov or at Lipno it gets <strong>truly incredibly busy during the summer holidays<\/strong>, so if you can, plan your visit to these places strictly for weekdays or early morning hours. The castle courtyards and main car parks usually fill up on the stroke of ten, when the first organised coach tours arrive. On the other hand, the Czech Canada, the low-key Novohradsko region, or the area around Blatn\u00e1 hold on to their absolute calm even in the middle of August, so you can reliably hide there from civilisation. In September the deer rut begins, which is an incredible experience in the \u0160umava forests, and if you love the autumn atmosphere, <strong>definitely don&#8217;t miss the October pond harvests<\/strong>. Seeing the harvest of the largest Czech pond, Ro\u017emberk, with your own eyes is literally a social event, and up close you&#8217;ll absorb the true South Bohemian tradition. For a relaxed holiday in this region, set aside at least a long weekend, but honestly you&#8217;ll have plenty to discover even over a full fortnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Stay_in_South_Bohemia\"><\/span>Where to Stay in South Bohemia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing your base for the holiday, it&#8217;s worth thinking carefully about whether you want everything within reach or would rather have peace and quiet in a spot on the edge of the forest.

The castle is the absolute landmark of the whole valley, and basic admission to the first tour costs 300 CZK (about \u20ac12) this year, while a tour of the unique Baroque theatre costs 400 CZK (about \u20ac16) and has to be booked well in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you don&#8217;t want to spend on the interiors, <strong>the vast castle gardens are completely free to enter<\/strong> and offer a beautiful view of the town full of red roofs. On your stroll, don&#8217;t forget to peek into the castle moat, where bears still live \u2014 a little controversial these days, but historically an inseparable part of the ch\u00e2teau. Another big draw is the Revolving Auditorium in the castle garden, which <strong>in 2026 features the eagerly awaited The Little Prince<\/strong>, but tickets for the summer season must be bought far in advance online, or you don&#8217;t stand a chance. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Parking in Krumlov can be nerve-racking, but in our experience the P3 car park by the town park is almost always free, costs 40 CZK (about \u20ac1.60) per hour, and it&#8217;s only a short walk to the centre. If you like a bit of adrenaline, for 450 to 650 CZK (about \u20ac18\u201327) per person you can rent a raft and float through the historic centre right down the Vltava.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Ceske_Budejovice\"><\/span>2. \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a8eed475a58f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a8eed475a58f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1000\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Namesti-Premysla-Otakara-II.-.jpg\" alt=\"P\u0159emysl Otakar II Square in \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice\" class=\"wp-image-83558\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Namesti-Premysla-Otakara-II.-.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Namesti-Premysla-Otakara-II.--300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Namesti-Premysla-Otakara-II.--700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Namesti-Premysla-Otakara-II.--768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Namesti-Premysla-Otakara-II.--696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Namesti-Premysla-Otakara-II.--1392x928.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We love going to Bud\u011bjovice just because, in my opinion, it has one of the prettiest and largest squares in the country \u2014 the perfectly square P\u0159emysl Otakar II Square. <strong>We always sit on a bench by the Samson Fountain<\/strong> and enjoy the relaxed city atmosphere, which is far airier and much calmer than overcrowded Krumlov.

Tours for individuals usually start at two in the afternoon, and the final beer tasting right in the lager cellars is, of course, only for adults. \ud83d\ude05 Bud\u011bjovice is also a great starting point for easy cycling trips, as a flat asphalt route along the water begins here. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> We&#8217;ve grown very fond of <strong>the easygoing Vltava Trail<\/strong>, which runs along the river all the way to Hlubok\u00e1 and is around 8 kilometres long.

The ch\u00e2teau is surrounded by a sprawling English park, absolutely ideal for long afternoon strolls beneath the crowns of old trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A big advantage of Hlubok\u00e1 is that <strong>the whole ch\u00e2teau complex is open year-round<\/strong>, and in winter there are even special winter tours of the heated interiors, so you can visit outside the main summer season too. Parents with smaller children really appreciate the popular Ohrada Zoo, located near the ch\u00e2teau right by a large pond.

In the summer season Lipno is, of course, the centre of all family fun \u2014 there are cable cars, bobsleigh tracks, and the popular Treetop Walkway offers tickets with dynamic pricing, so it definitely pays to plan ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tickets for the walkway <strong>start online at around 190 CZK (about \u20ac8)<\/strong>, but if you buy them on the spot in peak season, you&#8217;ll pay nearly 400 CZK (about \u20ac16) for an adult. The views from the 40-metre-high tower over the forested \u0160umava and the distant peaks of the Alps are priceless in fine weather, and you can shortcut your way down via a great dry slide. If you like cycling or in-line skating, <strong>the Lakeside Cycle Trail is an absolute gem<\/strong> \u2014 a gorgeous flat asphalt stretch connecting Lipno nad Vltavou and Frymburk, measuring 19 kilometres. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you want to avoid the biggest crush in the summer season, choose the quieter Frymburk as your base instead of bustling Lipno nad Vltavou, because you&#8217;ll also find gentler beaches with a nicer entry into the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_The_Sumava_Mountains\"><\/span>5.

We always love strolling through the park around the ch\u00e2teau and occasionally take a sightseeing cruise on Sv\u011bt, which lasts fifty minutes and reliably runs every day through the summer. The whole T\u0159ebo\u0148 landscape is completely flat, so <strong>it&#8217;s a real paradise for casual cyclists<\/strong> \u2014 just rent a bike and set off on countless well-maintained trails. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you come here in autumn, definitely check the official dates of the pond harvests, because seeing the traditional harvest of the largest pond, Ro\u017emberk, up close is a spectacle you won&#8217;t easily find anywhere else in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Orlik_and_Zvikov\"><\/span>7.

But what you really need to watch out for this year is the water quality in the reservoir itself, because <strong>for summer 2026 there&#8217;s a strict swimming ban near Podolsko<\/strong> due to an extreme bloom of health-hazardous cyanobacteria. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> The Zv\u00edkov castle complex is fairly large, and with a pushchair you&#8217;ll struggle to reach some of the historic parts over the cobbles, so if you&#8217;re coming here with small children, pack a baby carrier instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Pisek\"><\/span>8.

A big event of 2026 is that <strong>the Hussite Museum right on the square offers its permanent exhibitions completely free<\/strong> \u2014 you only pay to enter the mysterious underground for 120 CZK (about \u20ac5), which winds its way beneath the whole historic centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When we were here with Jon\u00e1\u0161ek, we obviously couldn&#8217;t skip the local Lego Museum, which is smaller in size but an absolute paradise full of bricks for little builders. If you have a sweet tooth, <strong>definitely head to the Museum of Chocolate and Marzipan<\/strong>, where they have beautiful creations and in the little workshop you can make your own chocolate praline, which reliably keeps kids entertained. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you plan to visit several attractions at once with the family, ask at the ticket desk about the good-value three-in-one ticket for the Chocolate Museum, the Lego Museum and the nearby Hous Mill, where you can handle film-set armour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"cechach\" lang=\"en\" rendered=\"2026-08-25T23:06:26+00:00\" v=\"1\" -->\n<style id=\"lk-gyg-styles\">\n@import url(\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Playfair+Display:wght@700&family=DM+Sans:wght@300;400;500;600&display=swap\");\n\/* === LK GYG karty \u2014 CRO redesign 2026-05 (namespace .lkx-) ===\n   C\u00edl: vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed CTR (hero + v\u00fdrazn\u00fd social proof + ak\u010dn\u00ed CTA, m\u00e9n\u011b \"reklamn\u00ed\").\n   Injektuje se inline do prvn\u00edho markeru postu (refresh_cards.py --inline-css). *\/\n.lkx-module, .lkx-module *{box-sizing:border-box;margin:0;padding:0}\n.lkx-module{\n  font-family:'DM Sans',-apple-system,Segoe UI,Roboto,Georgia,sans-serif;\n  max-width:860px;margin:2.5rem auto;color:#1f2328;\n}\n\n\/* HEADER \u2014 lehk\u00fd editorsk\u00fd, \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd bannerov\u00fd blok;

This border region is absolutely ideal for hiking and easygoing cycling far from cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All the <strong>trails here lead through pristine nature with an absolute minimum of civilisation<\/strong>, and at times you really feel like you&#8217;re somewhere in a deserted Nordic wilderness.

For families with smaller children there are the great <strong>Grasel Trails around Nov\u00e1 Byst\u0159ice<\/strong>, which offer fun tasks for kids big and small completely free \u2014 you just pick up a game map at the local info centre. \ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t forget good shoes and proper insect repellent, because the forests of the Czech Canada are beautiful but all the wilder, and around the water there tend to be quite a few mosquitoes in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Slavonice\"><\/span>12.

The route is nice and wide, and along the way you&#8217;ll find plenty of spots to rest or have a snack with a view straight over the lake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Very pleasant pushchair walks are also offered by flat T\u0159ebo\u0148, where <strong>the popular loop called the Around the World Trail<\/strong> is 12 kilometres long but is completely level, and all the forest paths are beautifully maintained. It takes you all the way to the famous Schwarzenberg Tomb, and you spend almost the whole time in pleasant shade under the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Around \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice there&#8217;s the great <strong>Vltava Trail towards Hlubok\u00e1 Ch\u00e2teau<\/strong>, which measures 8 kilometres, is flat as a table, and the right bank of the river offers a quieter gravel path safely far from all cars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_Tips_Paddling_Swimming_and_Transport\"><\/span>Practical Tips: Paddling, Swimming and Transport<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re planning to head out on the water, the Vltava is an absolute classic, but in July and August it turns into a paddling highway. <strong>An hour&#8217;s float through Krumlov<\/strong> will cost you roughly 450 to 650 CZK (about \u20ac18\u201327) per person; if you want to rent a raft for a full-day trip from Vy\u0161\u0161\u00ed Brod, expect a price of around 1,100 CZK (about \u20ac45) per person. For families with kids, a much calmer option is the Otava River, where renting a family raft for the day costs around 1,500 CZK (about \u20ac60) and you won&#8217;t meet such crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for swimming, 2026 brought complications on the Orl\u00edk reservoir, where a <strong>strict swimming ban is in place near Podolsko<\/strong> due to a high occurrence of cyanobacteria, so definitely don&#8217;t go in the water there. Water quality at Lipno usually holds up until mid-August, but if you want an absolute guarantee of clean water all summer, head to Sta\u0148kovsk\u00fd pond or the sand pits in the T\u0159ebo\u0148 region. Always check the current status in advance on the portal <a href=\"https:\/\/koupacivody.cz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">koupacivody.cz<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Parking in tourist centres tends to be a challenge; in \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov I recommend using the <strong>park-and-ride car parks P1 to P3<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll pay from 40 to 60 CZK (about \u20ac1.60\u20132.50) per hour, with P3 by the town park most often having free spaces. If you&#8217;re spending your holiday at Lipno, definitely get the Lipno.card, which gives you discounts on parking, cable cars and entry to the main attractions \u2014 a real relief for the family budget. And if you&#8217;re renting a car to explore the region, it&#8217;s worth comparing prices in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat_in_South_Bohemia\"><\/span>Where to Eat in South Bohemia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Bohemian cuisine is hearty and a little earthy, exactly the kind you&#8217;ll appreciate after a full day out. Here I always treat myself to a <strong>proper kulajda with mushrooms and a poached egg<\/strong>, and it wouldn&#8217;t be complete without South Bohemian pastries or blueberry dumplings, which almost everywhere makes in season. The local speciality number one is, of course, <strong>T\u0159ebo\u0148 carp<\/strong> with an EU protected designation; locals go for it and for the renowned carp chips to \u0160upina and \u0160upinka right in T\u0159ebo\u0148.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to caf\u00e9s, Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I have a few tried-and-tested favourites. In \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov drop into <strong>Kolektiv caf\u00e9<\/strong> a short walk from the Barber&#8217;s Bridge, where they make excellent coffee in a lovely minimalist space. In \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice we love <strong>F\u00e9r Cafe<\/strong> with homemade cakes, and in T\u0159ebo\u0148 don&#8217;t miss a coffee in the <strong>Ch\u00e2teau Pharmacy<\/strong>, a combination of caf\u00e9 and small museum you won&#8217;t easily find elsewhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And one classic to finish: a South Bohemian evening goes hand in hand with <strong>Budvar beer<\/strong>, whether you taste it on a brewery tour or in a pub by a pond.

You&#8217;ll find everything here from the best dates to swimming to tips on where to hide from the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_visit_South_Bohemia\"><\/span>When is the best time to visit South Bohemia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll experience the best weather and fewest crowds in June or early September. During the summer holidays in July and August, major hotspots like Krumlov or Lipno are very crowded, so plan your visit to these popular destinations for early morning hours or on weekdays.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_go_with_small_children_and_a_stroller\"><\/span>Where to go with small children and a stroller?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For families with a stroller, the flat T\u0159ebo\u0148sko region or the paved Jezern\u00ed cycling trail at Lipno are ideal. Another excellent choice is the Hlubok\u00e1 ZOO, which is small enough for a child to walk around completely on their own, or a visit to the deer and lynx enclosures at Kvilda in \u0160umava, where there are log-paved pathways.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_you_swim_safely_in_South_Bohemia\"><\/span>Where can you swim safely in South Bohemia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>In 2026, definitely avoid Orl\u00edk in the Podolsko area, where there is a strict ban due to algae blooms. The cleanest water is consistently found at Sta\u0148kovsk\u00fd pond in the T\u0159ebo\u0148sko region or the numerous gravel pits around Vesel\u00ed nad Lu\u017enic\u00ed, which stay clean until the end of summer. Always check the water quality online beforehand.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_in_South_Bohemia_when_it_rains\"><\/span>What to do in South Bohemia when it rains?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Great rainy-day options include the giant Sladovna in P\u00edsek, full of interactive exhibits for children, the large Hops\u00e1rium play centre in \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice, or Aquaworld at Lipno. For those with a sweet tooth, I warmly recommend the Museum of Chocolate and Marzipan in T\u00e1bor with its own creative workshop.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_many_days_should_you_allocate_for_a_holiday\"><\/span>How many days should you allocate for a holiday?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For a quick taste, a long weekend in one area like T\u0159ebo\u0148 or Krumlov is enough. But if you want to tour the most beautiful monuments and also enjoy some nature and hiking, plan at least a week and choose a strategic base somewhere in the middle near \u010cesk\u00e9 Bud\u011bjovice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_any_new_features_in_the_region_for_2026\"><\/span>Are there any new features in the region for 2026?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The biggest novelty is the return of the Jind\u0159ich\u016fv Hradec narrow-gauge railway, which from spring onwards is running again to Nov\u00e1 Byst\u0159ice with the Gepard Express. Also, the Hussite Museum in T\u00e1bor is now offering free admission to its permanent exhibitions. Note that the pond at \u010cerven\u00e1 Lhota is unfortunately still drained this year due to a damaged dam, so you won&#8217;t be able to take romantic boat rides around the ch\u00e2teau.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_look_for_accommodation_away_from_the_tourist_crowds\"><\/span>Where to look for accommodation away from the tourist crowds?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>If you want real peace and quiet, avoid the overcrowded centres of Krumlov and Lipno nad Vltavou during the summer holidays. Try looking for accommodation in the deep forests of \u010cesk\u00e1 Kanada, in the understated Novohradsko region, or around the picturesque town of Slavonice, where even in mid-August you&#8217;ll find half-empty forest trails and absolute tranquillity. Frymburk is also an excellent and considerably quieter alternative to busy Lipno.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785262810007\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_I_find_the_most_beautiful_historic_towns\"><\/span>Where can I find the most beautiful historic towns?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Besides the famously well-known \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov, you definitely shouldn&#8217;t miss Renaissance Slavonice with its richly decorated sgraffito house facades. Jind\u0159ich\u016fv Hradec also has a beautiful historic centre with a monumental ch\u00e2teau, and T\u00e1bor is absolutely unique thanks to its Hussite history and winding streets. P\u00edsek also offers a great historic atmosphere without the tourist crowds, with the oldest stone bridge in the country.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Head to South Bohemia, Czech Republic and discover 15 of the most beautiful places, from Renaissance towns and deep \u0160umava forests to family attractions at Lipno.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":81330,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"South Bohemia Czech Republic: 15 Best Places 2026","rank_math_description":"Discover South Bohemia, Czech Republic: 15 most beautiful places, from \u010cesk\u00fd Krumlov to Lipno, with 2026 prices, family tips and swimming advice.
