Budapest – Linz – Ceske Budejovice – Cesky Krumlov, Czech

October 2, 2009 · Posted in Czech Republic, train travel 

WonderlampTrain Tip: Any train trip to Cesky Krumlov will likely connect through Ceske Budejovice. If your itinerary allows it, allow yourself an hour or two here. It’s a bit of a beer capital: the city has been brewing beer since the 13th century. But it’s especially known as the home of the Pivovar Budejovicky Budvar, or the Budweiser Budvar Brewery.
Ceske Budejovice Train Station

Founded in 1895, the brewery’s beer is some cousin of the American Budweiser. Stop off in any pub near the train station to try one and taste for yourself how alike or unlike the two are. (I won’t hint.)

To school in Czech

From Ceske Budejovice, it’s a short 50 minute train ride to Cesky Krumlov. It’s also back on the small, local trains that bring the children to school from neighboring towns. I had a yellow school bus. They have a red school train.
