Private Car Transfer Prague to Salzburg with Krumlov Stop

Summary

Scenic drive from Prague to Salzburg with Cesky Krumlov visit

You’ll travel from Prague to Salzburg at your own pace—with a private car, local tips from your English-speaking driver, and two hours free to soak up Cesky Krumlov’s fairy-tale charm.

What’s the experience like?

The morning air in Prague was still a little crisp when our driver pulled up right outside our hotel—no need to drag bags through cobbled streets or wait for a taxi. The car smelled faintly of fresh upholstery and lemon wipes (they really do sanitize these vehicles), and there were bottles of water waiting for us in the cup holders. We settled in, Wi-Fi connected instantly, and within minutes we were weaving out of the city, watching the skyline fade behind us.

The Czech countryside rolled by—patches of wildflowers, sleepy villages with red-tiled roofs, and the occasional roadside bakery that made me wish we had time to stop. Our driver, Martin, chatted about local legends and pointed out a castle ruin on a distant hilltop. About two and a half hours later, we arrived in Cesky Krumlov. The town felt like something out of a storybook: winding alleys, painted facades, the Vltava River curling around it all. We had just enough time to wander up to the castle viewpoint (the stone underfoot still cool from last night’s rain), grab coffee at Café Štrúdl—smelled like cinnamon and butter—and watch locals setting up market stalls in the square.

Back on the road, we snacked on little pastries Martin had stashed for us. The scenery shifted as we crossed into Austria—the hills steeper now, air sharper through the open window. By late afternoon we rolled into Salzburg, feeling more like travelers than tourists. No airport lines or bus crowds—just our own pace and plenty of stories picked up along the way.
