You have the most important things you can do in Ceske Budejovice:
1 day
afternoon: you first step have to be directed to the Black Tower - a former belfry in Gothic- Renesance style. From its gallery you can see a mainly part of the south Bohemia region, including the bourdering mountains Sumava and Novohraske hoy. It´s really a magnicifent view! It´s openig daily from 10 to 18 and the price it´s only 10 CZK (summer of 2000)

The entrance tower
by globetrott
The entrance tower is still used today as the only entrance, with the ticket-office and souvenir-shop.
Some parts of the castle may be visited by GUIDED tours only ( like the church ), while the castle itself may be entered also on your own.
These guided tours are in Chech language only, but foreigners get in advance a leaflet
with great explanations, that may be read before the tour.
It is a pity I do not understand ANY Chechian...
...as the lady said something about Fotografia at the beginning - I am sure she was telling us, it is NO problem to take pics... :)
( as there were also NO signs telling me the contrary )
Listen to the Church Bells Ring
by Jennyjump79
There's a nice very quiet courtyard outside of this church perfect for sitting down with a book and waiting for the church bells to ring out a hymn in the late afternoon.
The church itself is also worth visiting, with a lovely interior and stained glass windows, but without the fanfare surrounding other "historic" churches. Just be careful to go in the right entrance-- I accidentally ended up in the adjoining school on my first try!
