Getting here – from Prague, Vienna, Linz and Munich

Getting here – from Prague, Vienna, Linz and Munich

The most convenient way is to drive – every room has its own free parking space. Direct buses also run from Prague every hour, and door-to-door shuttles come from Vienna, Linz and Salzburg.

The best way is by car: about 2 hours from Prague, and you get your own free parking space by your room in our gated courtyard – no hunting for a car park, no dragging luggage through the old town. Without a car, direct buses run from Prague (about 2.5–3 hours, from around 200 CZK); the stop is a 5–10 minute walk away.

The last stretch to our door

The main bus station and the Špičák stop are a few minutes' walk away along pavements – no old-town cobblestones. The railway station is further; with luggage we recommend a taxi.

From the bus station

From the bus station, walk north along Objížďková and U Poráků to Pod Skalkou street. The hotel is at Pod Skalkou 536. The route follows pavements, not the old town's cobblestones.

Journey time
5–10 min
From the Špičák stop

From the Špičák stop, follow Latrán a short way, then turn into Pod Skalkou street.

Journey time
5–10 min
From the railway station

Walk downhill from the station along the Serpentina path to Pod Skalkou street. With heavy luggage, take a taxi instead (about 4 minutes by car).

Journey time
20 min
Taxi from the station

Local taxi, flat fare for hotel/guesthouse ↔ train station or bus station (Taxi Express price list).

Journey time
4 min

Local taxis (24/7)

By car and motorway vignettes

Set your satnav to Pod Skalkou 536, not to the centre. Every room has its own free parking space in the gated grounds. The historic centre is closed to visitors' cars.

Czech Republic: Required on Czech motorways (D roads), for example the D1 and D3 from Prague. It is electronic and linked to the number plate. The usual routes from Linz (B126/road 160), Vienna (via Nové Hrady) and Munich (via Passau/Strážný) reach Krumlov on ordinary Czech roads. 2026 prices: 1 day 230 CZK, 10 days 300 CZK, 30 days 480 CZK, 1 year 2,570 CZK – buy only on the official site edalnice.gov.cz.

Austria: Required on Austrian motorways and expressways (A and S roads), for example A1/A7 via Linz, S10, and A22/S5 from Vienna. Not needed on B roads (for example B126 Linz – Bad Leonfelden) or on the Munich – Passau – Strážný route. 2026 prices: 1 day €9.60, 10 days €12.80, 2 months €32, 1 year €106.80 – buy at shop.asfinag.at.

Practical tips

  • Set your sat-nav to our address (Pod Skalkou 536), not the town centre: the historic centre is closed to visitors' cars, and every room has its own free parking space.
  • From Prague the direct coach is the easiest option: about 13 RegioJet buses a day from Na Knížecí and 5–8 FlixBus buses from Florenc, in 2.5–3 hours from about 200 CZK. Book online, because fares rise as the bus fills up.
  • Get off at the Špičák stop or the main bus station (AN) – we're a few minutes' walk away along pavements.
  • The railway station is about 1.5 km from us, so from Prague the direct bus is usually more convenient than the train.
  • From Vienna, Salzburg or Linz, a door-to-door shuttle (Bean Shuttle, CK Shuttle) drops you at your accommodation. From Linz there is also a direct FlixBus in about 1.5 hours.
  • Driving from Prague? Buy the Czech e-vignette only at edalnice.gov.cz (from 300 CZK for 10 days). Driving through Austria on A or S roads? Buy the Austrian vignette at shop.asfinag.at. A 2-month or annual vignette bought online only becomes valid on the 18th day.

We checked these details with the operators on 26 October 2026. Prices and timetables change – please confirm your connection before travelling (IDOS, RegioJet, FlixBus).
