🇨🇿Top 10 small towns in Europe: CK town like a fairy tale world🏡💖

This time Piao'er stayed in Český Krumlov for three nights, and the most popular place to hang out was of course the Old Town! The town of CK is actually not very big and can be walked in about 2 hours. However, this town is full of medieval buildings that look like buildings in fairy tales. The roads are full of artistically designed household groceries. The most important thing is that the prices are very affordable. The price is affordable, and the things are very unique. Walking on the gravel road, I seriously feel that Kurenlov is really suitable for life. Therefore, when Piao'er was in CK, he would definitely come to the old town for a walk almost every day. I will write this article about the old town of CK Town that I walked through into a one-day tour! 🏡💖 🏠Medieval style architecture Kulunlov is located in the upper reaches of the Vltava River. The entire river course divides Kulunlov into two areas like Tai Chi, the "Castle District" in the northeast and the "Old Town" surrounded by the river in the southwest. Kulunlov Most of the buildings in the city were built between the 14th and 17th centuries. The architectural styles are mainly Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque styles, while the old city is mainly Baroque style. Looking at this corrugated wall, it is actually just an artistic expression and has no practical meaning. Use! Walking in the small town of CK, you will find that many of the walls of the buildings seem to be painted. Because the Czech Republic is not as rich as other powerful countries in Europe, large stone bricks and marbles cannot be used in building materials, not only the houses but also the castles. The walls have to be painted! 🚗Transportation Prague to CK Town: Bus It takes 3 hours by bus from Prague. There are two main bus companies between Prague and CK Town: FlixBus and Regio Jet – Student Agency. After careful calculation, we found that it was cheaper to buy round-trip tickets from two bus companies than from the same bus company! Generally speaking, there are discounts for purchasing round-trip ticket combinations from the same bus company, but the problem is that the timing of these combinations is not very good: for example, a 10 am outbound trip with a 6 pm return trip, so The day trip was shortened to a very short time. Therefore, in order to have enough time to visit the small town of CK, we purchased tickets with a time that was more suitable for our itinerary budget. We took the FlixBux bus from Prague to CK Town at 8 a.m. and arrived at CK Town at about 11 o'clock; from CK Town back to Prague, we took the Regio Jet bus at 7 p.m. The bus stop back to Prague is 10 point. Pay special attention to the location of the bus stop. It is best to arrive 15 minutes in advance. Since there are several bus stations in Prague and CK Town, you need to check the map in advance and don’t wait at the wrong place. 💖CK town attractions 1.The Castle Tower🌈 The Painted Tower is in the second courtyard of the castle and is the tallest building in the town of CK.
