What to bring

• Be sure to carry a valid ID or your passport, as it may be required for verification during the trip.
• If you intend to book the student rate, ensure you bring a valid ISIC card and have it ready to show before departure.
• Carry some Czech koruna, as smaller stands and festival booths often accept only cash payments.
• Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes, as Český Krumlov’s cobblestone streets and sloped lanes can be uneven and require a stable footing.
• Bring a warm layer or light jacket, because the weather in South Bohemia is cooler and windier than in Prague, even in summer.
• Carry a small umbrella or rain jacket, since showers can occur unexpectedly, especially in spring and autumn.

What’s not allowed

• Large suitcases and bulky luggage are not permitted on the tour vehicle, so please bring only small bags that can be stored easily.
• Unauthorized drone use is not permitted in Český Krumlov, as the historic center is a protected UNESCO area.

Accessibility

• This tour is not wheelchair accessible. Most of Český Krumlov's Old Town streets are narrow, steep, and paved with uneven stones.

Additional information

• The tour departs promptly at 8:45am each day, so please arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to ensure a smooth check-in.

What to bring

• Wear comfortable walking shoes, as both towns feature uneven cobblestone streets, uphill lanes, and extended pedestrian areas.
