About
Fakta singkat: Wandering the maze of cobbled alleys feels like stepping into a living storybook, where pastel facades, red-tiled roofs, and a slow river bend create a picture-postcard medieval atmosphere. A baroque theatre with an original revolving stage still hosts atmospheric performances, and the castle's layered courtyards reward curious explorers with unexpected viewpoints over the whole town.
Sorotan: Walk the honey-colored alleys that have curled around a 13th-century core, where worn cobbles click underfoot and a looping river embraces the red-tiled roofs so closely you can watch swans drift past café windows. Behind the walls a tiny Baroque theatre from the 1760s still survives with original stage machinery, hand-painted backdrops and about 100 wooden seats, so during intimate summer performances you hear gears creak and smell oil and dust as candlelight flickers.
Insider tips
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven cobbles and steep castle paths.
- Climb the castle tower at opening or late afternoon for the best panoramic photos of the Vltava bend and red roofs.
- Avoid the busiest hours between 11:00 and 15:00, enjoy riverside cafés mid-afternoon for calmer service.
- Skip souvenir stalls clustered on the main square if you want authentic finds; search smaller shops on Latrán street instead.
