By bus
From Prague, and other nearby cities or towns of Bohemia, getting to Äeský Krumlov by public bus is easier, faster, and cheaper than by train.
Student Agency (http://jizdenky.studentag...) runs up to 8 buses per day between Äeský Krumlov and the Na KnÃzecà bus station in Prague, near the AndÄl metro station. A one-way journey takes ~3 hours, and costs CZK 185. The bus stops at Pisek and Äeské BudÄjovice. Cheaper and more comfortable than other public buses.
Upon arriving in Äeský Krumlov, there are two bus stops: the first is north of the castle, the second is the main terminal and is located east of the main square. Both stations are about a five to ten minute walk from the main square--from the north, walk down Latrán ulice, from the east, head westward and look for Horni ulice off the main road. Check which stop is closest to your accommodation before your trip.
