Český Krumlov

Everyone should put a visit to Český Krumlov on their bucket list. A pictoresque town in the south of Bohemia, the town is home to the second largest castle in the Czech Republic, second of course to Prague Castle. However, the castle here differs from it's bigger brother in interesting ways, and gives the town of Český Krumlov it's seemingly magical character. From afar, the castle appears to have insets with statues, and bezel edges of the blocks that build the castle walls create distinct shadows in their grooves. However, as you climb the hill and approach the castle, you can see that the walls are nothing more than flat concrete, and the images are merely painted on as if in the backdrop of a play. Indeed, the theme can be seen throughout the town, and as you walk the narrow streets, there are moments when you feel that you are actually part of that play, lost in a world totally removed from reality. When you are there, rent a raft, and float down the river and look up. It will be the best day of your life.
