A White Castle Above the Vltava
Hluboká nad Vltavou is a small town in South Bohemia, about 10 km north of České Budějovice. Above it stands Hluboká Castle, which the Schwarzenberg family rebuilt in the 19th century in a romantic Gothic style inspired by Windsor Castle. Guided tours take you through its richly furnished rooms with carved wooden ceilings and panelling, and you can walk in the English-style park around it.
The former riding hall next to the castle houses the Aleš South Bohemian Gallery, and the Ohrada hunting lodge, a short way out of town, has a museum of hunting, forestry and fishing with a small zoo next door. Hluboká is an easy day out from Prague or a stop on the way to Český Krumlov. With a private transfer you can see the castle and be back in Prague the same evening.

Fares, waiting and larger groups
We Offer Three Fares
Waiting Charge
If the driver waits for you or you book a multi-stop transfer, for example while you visit one city before continuing to another, a waiting charge is added to your fare.
Minivan Special Offer
Many airport taxis take only three passengers and may not fit large bags in a sedan. We take groups of up to four passengers with their luggage in a larger vehicle at a special price: choose “Minivan” (4 seats) when you book online. The offer does not apply to groups of five or more, who travel by minibus at the standard price.
