7Český Krumlov, Czech Republic

South Bohemia hides a fairytale city that often feels like a living museum. Český Krumlov’s pastel-colored Renaissance buildings, riverside pubs, and medieval castle create an enchanting atmosphere.

The Vltava River winds through the town, offering opportunities for rafting and photography. Though well known within Central Europe, it remains far less crowded than Prague, making it perfect for travelers who want charm without chaos.
