The stops
- 1
Prague
Cross Charles Bridge before breakfast, then head south along the Vltava.
- 2
Český Krumlov
A UNESCO town coiled inside a river meander, all painted towers and riverside taverns — best after dark.
- 3
Telč
Stop two hours for the arcaded Renaissance square, pastel gables mirrored in the fish ponds.
- 4
Vienna
Schönbrunn, Sachertorte, and a heuriger wine tavern in the hills to toast the finish.
Good to know
Czech and Austrian motorways both require vignettes (digital, buy online). Český Krumlov is mobbed by day-trip buses 10–5; staying the night transforms it. Telč adds under an hour to the direct route and is worth double that.
