Get in

You can take a train from Prague for under 10 EUR. Train goes from Prague to České Budějovice. Change train and go for about 30 min before you enter České Krumlov railway station. A buss will take you to just outside City Center.

Get around

Walking is only option for coming around in the city center. To get up to the castle you cross the bridges over the Vltava river. If you want to do a multi day canoing trip you will need to catch a bus to Vyšší Brod.

Sleep

You will have no trouble finding the hostels here, though there may not be room. Check out the Havana Hostel at the south end of town for a fairly cheap stay on the river--it has kitchen access, too.

There is good camping about a 30 minute walk outside of the center. Ask at a tourist information office for directions.
