going to karlovy Vary and / or Cesky Krumlov

We are a family of 2 adulsta and 2 children who intend to go to Prague in Auguist 08. We would also like to go to Karlovy Vary and / or Cesky Krumlov. How should we go there - do we need to hire a car or is a train sufficient. How long is the trip? Shouild we spend a couple of days in this part? Can visiting around be carried out on foot or is a car necessary since we would prefer not to rent a car. Are there any other places which we must absolutely see apart from these two and Prague in just ten days.

Hi, I went by car to these places but I remember there was train station near Karlovy Vary.



If I were you I would visit Karlstejn Castle (near Prague and only accessible by car, I think), Hluboká nad Vlatou which has another beautiful castle but of a totally diferent dessign and Telc, a beautiful city near the river.

Four or five days in Prague would be perfect in my opinion.





Outside of Prague Cesky Krumlov would be my first pick. It is lovely and charming. However, I have never been there in August so assume it may be over-run with people. If you do go there I would strongly suggest you stay one or two nights as the evenings/early mornings are so much nicer than the day with all the daytrippers.





Renting/driving a car in the CR is so very easy - probably the easiest country to navigate I have evern been in.





As the above poster suggested Telc is a gorgeous town to visit (for the town square and architecture). There are several castles south of Prague, too. My favourites are Orlik and Zvihov as they are not very touristy.





Another option is north of Prague at Cesky Raj - beautiful landscape - very interesting and unique.
