How to get there

There are direct buses from Prague but it is far nicer to take the train and change at Cesky Budejovice (The original home of 'American' bud). The local train from Budejovice to Krumlov is a delight. By bus the journey will take you less than 3 hours. The train is under four hours. Either way, a day trip is not really worth it and you should consider stopping overnight. If you're coming from Austria, the Czech transport website will give you the times, though not the prices. There are also practical shuttle links to and from various places in Austria
