Over the weekend, we made a brief trip to Česky Krumlov, where we toured the castle and its gardens and were also able to see St. Vitus Cathedral, the Egon Schiele Art Centrum, the Seidel Photo Museum, and various fairytale museums (as marionettes are very popular there).

The town is incredibly beautiful, with cobblestone roads and both Gothic and Renaissance architecture. While I know this is horribly clichéd to say, it honestly felt like going back in time.

A typical building we saw when walking in Česky Krumlov. Notice the frescos!!!
However, I think it’s safe to say that the highlight of the trip was our dinner on Saturday night. We ate a hearty meal at U Dwou Maryí, but the real treat was the Roma band that played for us for over two hours. There was so much energy and clapping. Naturally, the night ended with us dancing and trying to sing along. Katie (the always ready photographer) took a video, so you can see for yourselves!

SO. MUCH. FUN.
