Fairytale Town To Visit

Cesky Krumlov is a city in the South Bohemia region of the Czech Republic. It’s bisected by the Vltava River, and mostly for us, architecture admirers, well preserved renaissance and baroque buildings, earning a spot on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1992.

Trully magnificent town I never thought it existed other than the one on Disney's CGI fairytale movies. If I ever hit that jackpot, this is one of the places I would spend weeks at, just filling up memory cards with tons of magical architecture images.
