Česky Krumlov Self Guided Tour From Roses to Rivers and Royals
Description
Want to do more in Český Krumlov than just see the castle? This self-guided walking tour with 20+ stops reveals the darker, stranger, and more fascinating stories beneath the perfect façades; stories you'd never notice without a local guide. Spanning across the medieval Old Town and the free-to-enter section of the castle complex, you'll discover why bears have lived in the moat for 400 years, how a puppet theatre saved the Czech language from extinction, and the brutal murder that stained the Barber's Bridge. You'll decode the sgraffito illusions on Renaissance façades, learn which alchemist scammed the Rosenbergs for three decades, and stand where accused witches were burned beside what's now a plague column. Unlike rushed group tours, you control the pace, pause for photos and take breaks. Over 20,000 travelers have used the tours, with a full refund guarantee.

I found it amazing. It is very practical and valuable! I recommend!!! However, there is a deficiency in the map, it is not necessary. The icon is very small. Zoom doesn't work well. The App does not perfectly track the displacement, it is easy to go wrong. I had to supplement by typing the sights in Google Maps and using the 2 simultaneous apps, which consumes a lot of battery. I could improve on that. They are suggestions for improvements that do not deserve the brilliant initiative. I found it wonderful! Gratitude!
