Czech Republic - Ceske Budejovice


We crossed the border into Czech Republic from Austria at Dolni Dovoristi/Wulloitz Border Point.

The crossing was uneventful as both are Schengen Countries. Drove 60 km all the way to Ceske Budejovice arriving late in the evening


Ceske Budejovice with its elegant townhouses in one of the largest squares in Europe, a Baroque Fountain, an idyllic salt store and a brewery churning out original Budvar beer. České Budějovice, the capital of South Bohemia. 


Přemysl Otakar II Square and the Town Hall with its three spire after sunset


Samson’s Fountain and Town Hall



The Gothic-Renaissance Black Tower and St Nicholas Church.
From the Gothic-Renaissance Black Tower one can view the Old Town and Klet Mountains


Dome of St. Nicholas 




The Blue Pedestrian Bridge


Took a walking tour Ceske Budejovice Square on the next morning
