游览2:Český克鲁姆洛夫 

的 trip to Český Krumlov was an unforgettable 经验. 到达, 看到镇上的鹅卵石街道, 丰富多彩的建筑, and medieval architecture felt like stepping into a fairytale. 位于南部地区 捷克共和国, Český Krumlov boasts the second largest castle complex in the nation. 游览城堡时, we wandered through its magnificent halls and ballroom, 爬上了塔, and took a behind the scenes look at the Baroque 的ater also housed in the complex. Filled with shops, cafés, and restaurants, we explored the town. A visit to Český Krumlov wouldn’t be complete without grabbing a trdelník in the Old Town Square and walking by the Vltava River.
