Seminary Garden
The Seminary Garden offers one of the most beautiful views of the castle and the alleys of the old town. This year, during the winter evenings, it will be newly illuminated by hundreds of lights – the bears will especially delight children, and the photo frame will capture your experience.
Svornosti Square
The Svornosti Square is the main venue for the Advent programme every year. From November 29, 2024, to January 6, 2025, the Christmas Market takes place here. Additionally, every Friday and Saturday, you can look forward to concerts by local and visiting bands and musicians, as well as events for families with children. The illuminated Advent stalls, together with the beautiful Christmas tree, ensure the perfect warm Christmas atmosphere.
Radniční Street and Lazebnický Bridge
Radniční Street, on your way from Svornosti Square to Latrán, will reveal to you a beautiful view of the most towered of all towers, and you will also be enchanted by the festively illuminated Lazebnický Bridge.
Latrán Street
Latrán is probably the best-known district and street in Český Krumlov. It was first recorded in the Rožmberk urbarium from the 1370s. It was alternately referred to in Czech as Latrán or in German as Latron. This busiest thoroughfare in the historic center of Český Krumlov is dotted with shops, restaurants, and cafes, and it connects you to the castle, monasteries, and the monastery and brewery gardens.
Monastery Courtyard
Hop onto the sleigh and let yourself be carried away... You can find it, pulled by a two-meter-tall horse, in the Monastery Courtyard within the expansive grounds of the Český Krumlov Monasteries. Here, you can visit the monastery museum, a historic play world & interactive exhibition of human skills. During the Advent season, the workshops of artisans in the local craft alley are also enchanting.
Port 1560
The Light Park in the Port 1560 complex – at the courtyard and the adjacent Brewery Garden blends the charm of the historic town with light installations. Visitors can look forward to a Renaissance ball with dancers and musicians, a Christmas atmosphere with a majestic tree, the Krumlov water sprite, a fairy-tale world full of forest animals, and a stunning light relief of the town.
