Day 1: Prague — České Budějovice — Cesky Krumlov — Hluboká nad Vltavou (L)

Day 2: Hluboká nad Vltavou — Prague (B)
Enjoy breakfast at your hotel before spending the second day at your leisure. You can create your own itinerary today, with recommendations from your guide.
Consider walking through town and visiting the Ohrada Hunting Lodge or the Ohrada Zoo, playing golf at the sports complex, or going biking around town. Be sure to visit Hluboká Castle, a striking 13th-century castle that is considered one of the most beautiful in the country. It has undergone many renovations: first a Gothic castle, it was expanded during the Renaissance period and then rebuilt into a Baroque castle in the early 1700s. It reached its current appearance in the 19th century when Johann Adolf II von Schwarzenberg ordered its reconstruction in the romantic style of Windsor Castle.
In the evening, head back to the hotel to board the coach and journey back to Prague.
