Lovely ride with Petra

We were glad we used Sidetrip to travel from Vienna to Prague. Our driver/guide, Petra, picked us up from our hotel in Vienna. Our first stop was Cesky Krumlow and wow! What a lovely medieval town on the Vlatva river. Petra walked with us through the town pointing out different views of the castle and relating some history along the way. She suggested a vegetarian restaurant that was simply superb. We enjoyed a variety of dishes from an eclectic menu while watching rafters glide by on the river. After lunch we completed our tour of CK and proceeded to Prague where we were dropped off at our hotel. Petra was an excellent driver and kept us entertained and informed along the way. Sidetrip transfers are a good alternative to rail travel between cities in Europe, especially for a group of 6. The cost was not much more than a 2nd class train ticket with the added bonus of visiting Cesky Krumlow on the way.

  About Český Krumlov

  Český Krumlov emerged as a thriving medieval town, growing around its strategically positioned castle. Built atop a hill overlooking a bend in the Vltava River, the castle controlled an important river crossing, which naturally encouraged trade and prosperity, leading to the town’s rapid development.

  Over the centuries, Český Krumlov Castle has been rebuilt and expanded multiple times, blending Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles into a unique and harmonious complex. Today, visitors can trace these architectural transformations, each reflecting a different chapter of the town’s history.

  Until the 20th century, Český Krumlov had a predominantly German population, but after World War II, the German inhabitants were expelled and replaced by Czech settlers. Today, the town is home to around 13,000 residents, preserving its rich history and fairy-tale charm as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most picturesque destinations in the Czechia.
