Czechia: Prague, Český Krumlov & Brno in 7 Days
Czechia
Overview
Prague's spires and Charles Bridge are worth several unhurried days on their own, but Czechia rewards going further: Český Krumlov's near-impossibly picturesque riverside old town, then the more relaxed, less-touristed city of Brno on the way back. Buses connect all three comfortably.
