A Dream Come True: 19 DAYS Around NETHERLANDS, BELGIUM, CZECH REPUBLIC & DENMARK for Less Than ₱120,000 – Airfare, Accommodation & 12-Hour Singapore Stopover Included

Last October to November 2019, I flew to Europe all by myself for 19 days & went around Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic & Denmark. I never thought this trip that took 7 years to plan would finally happen & that I would do everything alone & DIY – no help from any travel agency, consultant or whatsoever. If you’ve been following me the last few months, I’ve shared every single detail of this Euro trip from city itineraries, flight reports, to hostels & even local food. You can find all posts under the Going Solo in Europe category.

Going to Europe for a long trip like this is not a cheap trip to do. Some people spend hundreds of thousands on airfare & accommodation & add probably another hundred for food, pocket money & tours. I didn’t have that much savings for this kind of expensive trip so I did a lot of research to make it happen in a relatively affordable budget. AND I DID IT! I flew to Europe for 19 days around 4 countries including airfare, accommodation & a 12-hour Singapore stopover for less than ₱120,000 all in. Let me share with you how I made this trip of a lifetime possible.

Disclaimer: There are ways to make this trip even cheaper than what I spent – staying in cheaper hostels, taking low-cost carriers / buses with cutting trips, etc. – but I wanted to make it special (as a first time) & splurged a bit on some parts like food (& beers), high-rated hostels & better transportation options. Also, I only chose to visit 4 countries instead of hopping on from one country to the other after a day or two to have a better appreciation of every country / city. I am not a fan of rushed trips; I enjoy staying longer in one place or country.

In case you missed it last week, I posted an article on 11 Europe thrift hacks that I did on this trip. These thrift hacks helped me save on some expenses like food & tours. Check out that article here.

Air Tickets

I took the risk & booked a return ticket to Europe with Singapore Airlines during their January promotion with BPI Credit Cards. I got the economy class ticket from Manila to Amsterdam via Singapore & Copenhagen to Manila via Singapore for only 719.23 USD. The ticket includes 30-kilogram baggage allowance on all sectors, in-flight meals & snacks, personal entertainment screens & their 5-star Singaporean hospitality. My BPI credit card charged me ₱37,669.40 including foreign transaction fees. Not bad for a ticket to Europe considering it’s with Singapore Airlines, right?

Months before the trip, I figured out the route I’ll take & the countries I’ll visit. Then, I booked air tickets for my inter-European transfers. Train tickets were more expensive & would take a few changes while bus trips, even if cheap, will take ages & a few transfers before you reach the next city / country. I paid €67,40 for a plane ticket from Brussels, Belgium to Prague, Czech Republic on Brussels Airlines. I booked another ticket from Prague, Czech Republic to Copenhagen, Denmark on Czech Airlines for 1,588 Kč. Both tickets include 23-kilogram check in baggage. I got charged ₱4,000.85 & ₱3,658.88, respectively for these 2 tickets.

I booked these 3 tickets without a Schengen tourist visa. Some people don’t recommend this, but I took the risk & did it. I was confident that time that I will be granted visa for this trip & luckily, I got one.

Accommodation

Accommodation in Europe is not cheap. A dormitory bed in a hostel costs about €30 to €40 a night, depending on the room configuration & location. Hotels & private rooms are more expensive. I can’t afford them. I booked my hostels 4 months into the trip. All these hostel bookings had free cancellation options if I don’t push through. I became picky with the hostels I’ll stay with since it was my first time in Europe. I stayed in popular & high-rated hostels found in central & well-recommended locations.

I stayed with Generator Hostel in Amsterdam (₱8,885.82 for 4 nights – paid in Philippine Peso), Sleep Well Youth Hostel in Brussels (€122 for 4 nights – paid during check-in), DREAM Hostel in Prague (1,790 Kč for 4 nights – paid via credit card on check-in) & Steel House in Copenhagen (US$ 116.24 for 4 nights – paid via Agoda). I paid ₱26,117.54 for 16 nights in these 4 countries – roughly ₱1,632.25 per night in Philippine Peso or €28,49 per night in Euros. I think I still got a good deal from these hostels! It would’ve been cheaper if booked my stay at least 8-10 months before.

Travel Insurance

Schengen tourist visa applications require a travel insurance with up to €30,000 medical coverage for the duration of the trip, some even up to 15 to 30 days after the trip. I got my travel insurance coverage online from Standard Insurance; I got their Travel Protect Policy which covers up to €37,500 medical coverage for 19 days. I paid ₱1,918 for the 19-day coverage.

Tourist Visa

I applied for my own Schengen tourist visa with VFS Netherlands. The visa fee cost €60 (₱3,420) + ₱901 VFS handling fee. I opted for the passport delivery service instead of picking up my passport in the VFS office. I paid a small fee for the courier service. I previously shared in this website how I got my Schengen tourist visa without the help of any tour agency. Check out that Tuesday Tip post here.

Internet Sim Card

Traveling around Europe alone isn’t easy. I made sure I was connected to the internet for the whole duration of the trip. I bought an internet sim card from Pinoy Traveler’s Unlimited Data Sim Card on Facebook. The sim card was operated by Three UK & it included 12 GB of 3G/4G data & unlimited call & text in Europe & UK & 9 GB of 3G/4G data outside Europe & UK for 30 days. The sim card cost ₱1,600 with free shipping. The data, call & text services worked well during my stay in Singapore, Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic & Denmark.

Travel Tax

All Philippine passport holders are required to pay a travel tax of ₱1,620 before going out the country for holiday. I paid the travel tax right before I checked in for my flight from Manila to Singapore.

Daily Budget & Unexpected Expenses

I mentioned in my Europe thrift hacks post that I set a daily budget of €40 for food, transportation & entrance fees. I spent more in some days but I was traveling on a €30-€35 per day budget. There were days where I had to buy last-minute museum tickets (Heineken Experience & Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam), join guided tours (Canal Tour in Amsterdam, Zaanse Schans, Edam, Volendam & Marken in Holland & Kutná Hora in Czech Republic) & go on side trips (Utrecht, Bruges, Ghent & Český Krumlov) which cost me more. I also bought last-minute train & bus tickets in Belgium & Czech Republic – the downsides of not following an itinerary.

I splurged on beers in all 4 countries; I paid more for food in Denmark (food there is expensive) but I’m happy I still had about €120 cash left at the end of the trip. I counted all my expenses from pocket money, to credit & debit card transactions & debit card withdrawals for 19 days. I spent ₱34,327.78 (around €600) for 17 full days (travel days not included) on food, transportation, walking tours, entry tickets, guided tours & beers – about €35 per day on average.

Singapore Stopover

My flight from Manila to Amsterdam had a 12-hour layover in Singapore. I took this time to meet 2 friends – one for lunch + milk tea & one for early dinner. I also used this time to walk around the beautiful city, check out a city library & walk around The Jewel at Changi Airport. I spent around S$50 (₱1,859.4 conversion that time) on this 12-hour stop – food, drinks & transportation included.

Summary of Expenses

After all the costs & numbers mentioned above, let’s see how much I actually spent for the trip.

Exchange rate at the time of trip: €1 = ₱57.3 Exchange rates of purchases & withdrawals vary. There you go! I spent ₱117,092.85 pesos for a 19-day trip around 4 European Countries – Netherlands, Belgium, Czech Republic & Denmark – with air tickets, accommodation costs & a 12-hour Singapore stopover included. If you’ll include the transportation expenses during the visa application process, to & from the airport when I left & arrived, it’ll be somewhere around ₱118,500 – still less than ₱120,000!

Don’t get me wrong, ₱117,092.85 is a very big amount but we’re talking about a 19-day trip to Europe here flying with one of the world’s premium airlines – Singapore Airlines & visiting first world & expensive countries like Netherlands, Belgium & Denmark. I couldn’t believe this when I listed all my expenses after the trip. I wanted this trip to be fun, memorable & spontaneous & I’m happy it turned out to be a trip of a lifetime. This solo trip to Europe is so far my longest, most expensive & most memorable experience I’ve had in my life. Every single peso spent was worth it!

Going Solo In Europe: COPENHAGEN – Walking Around Denmark’s Wonderful Capital City

Day 14 of 19 – I arrived in Copenhagen, Denmark from Czech Republic. After spending days around Amsterdam, Brussels & Prague, I am in Copenhagen – the last stop of this memorable 19-day solo trip around Europe. I had bittersweet feelings landing in this beautiful Scandinavian capital. It’s another country to add to my list; the first Scandinavian country I’ve been to. It’s one of the happiest countries in the world with one of the happiest citizens. I’ve heard great things about this city & country. It is also the last of 4 countries in this Europe trip of a lifetime.

Hello from Rosenborg Castle Grounds!! One of the very few photos of me (in it) in Copenhagen.. 🇩🇰

You might ask why am I chose Copenhagen of all places to be the last stop of this trip. First, it was the cheapest way out of Europe when I booked my ticket with Singapore Airlines. Second, I took this chance to personally meet Mads, a Danish good friend of mine I virtually met during my HTC fanboy days with Elevate. Mads is based in Aalborg, Denmark’s fourth biggest city, but flew in to Copenhagen to meet & take me around Copenhagen. We had nothing but great times walking around the city & me being like a local for 2 full days. To Mads, thank you!

My stay in Denmark was not as busy & eventful as my stays in the Netherlands, Belgium & Czech Republic. I didn’t go outside of Copenhagen & decided to just relax & walk around the city. It was the last few days of my trip so it was the perfect time to slow down, live like a local & enjoy the remaining time in Europe. Join me as I share with you below details about my last few days in Copenhagen.

Copenhagen

Copenhagen is the capital of Scandinavian country Denmark. It is the country’s biggest & most populous city; it is also the country’s center of government, business, trade, finance & economy. The city started as a Viking fishing village in the early centuries & has evolved into a religious & trading town under the influence of Bishop Absalon. In the 1400s, the city became the official capital of Denmark & home of the royal family. Denmark, with Copenhagen as capital, flourished during the time of Christian IV. He created new cities, opened up trade & started companies that can trade to foreign entities. Copenhagen survived natural & man-made disasters & territorial battles throughout the years & emerged now as Scandinavia’s most important city.

Denmark is one of the Schengen states & is also a member of the European Union. The country’s official currency is Danish Krone with kr. (with period) as sign & DKK as code. The same currency is being used by the Faroe Islands & Greenland. Conversation rate is 1 euro is to roughly 7.5 kr. For a budget traveler like me, Denmark is an expensive city to visit. The country has a different vibe compared to the others I’ve been to but is surely worth a visit. I felt super safe & secured when I was in this country compared to the other ones I’ve been to. People are very friendly, accommodating & happy in general. No wonder they’re consistently in the happiest countries in the world list.

Did you know that I applied for my own Schengen tourist visa? Yes! I did it all by myself & I got a multiple entry visa valid for 45 days. Check out this Tuesday Tip post to know how I did it.

Prague to Copenhagen

Prague, Czech Republic & Copenhagen, Denmark are not connected by direct trains. The fastest & most comfortable way to travel from one city to the other is via airplane. I took the sole Czech Airlines flight to Copenhagen from Prague last 5 November 2019. Check out the details of this flight in this Czech Airlines OK 508 Flight Report.

Steel House Copenhagen

All my 4 nights in Copenhagen were spent in Steel House Copenhagen. This New York-inspired luxury hostel in Vesterbo is owned & managed by ARP-Hansen Hotel Group – Copenhagen’s biggest hotel group. I wrote about my experience in Steel House Copenhagen in my latest hostel of the day feature. Check out my feature & review about the hostel here.

Going Around Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a tourist-friendly city. Majority of the places to visit can be reached by walking. The city also has a very efficient & modern subway system that goes to almost all areas of the city. Another way to go around the city is by cycling. Danish people, like Dutch people, use bicycles in their daily lives. Tourists can rent bicycles from hostels & shops.

Random but very clean street & canal in Copenhagen. Their canals have crystal-clear waters! 😍

I was travelling on budget & was not in a hurry so I walked a lot during my time in Copenhagen. Every day, I walk out of the hostel, go to different places, explore tourist destinations & walk back to the hostel at night. I remember one time when Mads & I took the automated subway from Nørreport Station to Christianshavn Station on our way to Christiania. Believe it or not, that 3-minute subway ride cost me 21 DKK (₱160-ish). Expensive, right? Yes – but we took it because we were running out of time. It’ll take us 35 minutes to walk to Christiania. It was a good experience, though!

Copenhagen Walking Tours

Just like what I did in Amsterdam, Brussels & Prague, I joined SANDEMANs New Europe’s walking tours around Copenhagen. SANDEMANs New Europe offers 5 group tours & 3 private tours around Copenhagen. I joined the free (well you know it’s tip-based) tour in the morning with our guide Bryony. We started the tour in Rådhuspladsen, then walked through the old streets of Copenhagen, to Christianborg, then Nyhavn & finish off at Amalienborg. Bryony shared to us the history of the city – how it started before & how it evolved into what it is now. These free walking tours run daily at 11:00 am (English & Spanish) & 2:00 pm (English only) & takes about 2 – 2.5 hours. This walking tour has a 15-minute coffee & toilet break in Espresso House near King’s New Square. Again, this walking tour is only tip-based & there’s no required amount from the joiners.

After the free walking tour, I joined the Must-See Copenhagen Tour: The Untold Stories also with Bryony. She took us around the Copenhagen landmarks that were not visited by the previous tour – The Little Mermaid, Rosenberg Castle, Kastellet, Gefion Fountain, Nyboder & finished in front of Copenhagen Cathedral. She also told us stories about battles between the Danes & Swedes, about the Norse gods & goddesses & some notable figures in Danish history. This tour costs €16 & starts at Espresso House – Østerport Station. It runs every Monday, Wednesday, Friday & Saturday & lasts for 2 to 2.5 hours. You may get your tickets from SANDEMANs website or during the free walking tour break.

This is the afternoon view from the helix viewpoint of Church of our Savior in Christianshavn, DK.

For me, these walking tours are the best way to know a cities & places you visit. These experienced tour guides share everything they know about a place’s history, culture, politics & even arts. Most free walking tours are tip-based; there are also some who ask for a small tour fee. These tours also help freelance professional tour guides earn for a living.

Places To See Around Copenhagen

Copenhagen has a long list of places to visit. Believe it or not, I didn’t get to see all sights in my 3 full days of walking around the city. These are the ones I’ve been to:

Copenhagen Central Station

Copenhagen Central Station, Københavns Hovedbanegård or København H in local language, is the city’s main train station & is also the largest train station in Denmark. It is the city’s gateway to domestic & international rail routes. It is the main hub of DSB, Danske Statsbaner, Denmark’s largest railway company.

City Hall Square

City Hall Square, Rådhuspladsen as locals call it, is a public square in the center of Copenhagen. It is in front of the Copenhagen City Hall & is an important venue for local celebrations & events. SANDEMANs New Europe’s free walking tour meets & starts in this square.

Copenhagen City Hall

Copenhagen City Hall, Københavns Rådhus in Danish language, is the city’s seat of government. This old building that I initially thought of a as a church is found in the City Hall Square, in the middle of Copenhagen.

Tivoli Gardens

Tivoli Gardens is a famous amusement & theme park in the center of Copenhagen. This is the second-oldest operating theme park in the world. It only opens during tourist-heavy seasons such as summer & winter. Unfortunately, the theme park was closed during my visit. It was due to open a day after my flight out of Copenhagen. Locals say Walt Disney got his Disneyland idea from this theme park – unsure how true this claim is. I’d love to visit Copenhagen again in the future just to go inside & try the rides of Tivoli Gardens.

Magstræde

Magstræde is one of the oldest streets of Old Town Copenhagen. This beautiful street has colorful old & preserved houses which existed way back in the early days. It is only one of the remaining streets which have the original cobblestones.

Amalienborg Palace

Amalienborg Palace is the Royal Family’s winter residence. The castle has 4 identical palace buildings in an octagonal courtyard with the iconic King Frederick V statue in between. You will know if the members of the royal family are in if the Danish flag is up. Luckily, it was up during our walking tour. Bryony, our tour guide, told us that The Crown Prince sometimes waves to the people from his window.

Christiansborg Palace

Christiansborg Palace houses the Danish Parliament, the Prime Minister’s Office as well as the Supreme Court of Denmark. This palace also has the Royal Reception Rooms, Royal Stables & even the Royal Chapel used by the Royal Family. Our free walking tour group saw 2 royal horses being trained & fed during our visit to the palace grounds.

Christiansborg’s Tower offers a beautiful view of Copenhagen skyline. Access to the view deck is free of charge. Too bad I didn’t have time to visit this observation deck. I heard queues can be long at times.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Castle is a castle built by Christian IV in the 1600s. It is found within the King’s Garden in the center of Copenhagen. This castle now functions as a museum housing royal artefacts & historical collection.

Frederik’s Church

Locally known as Frederiks Kirke, Frederik’s Church is a Lutheran church in Copenhagen. It is also known as the Marble Church (Marmorkirken) & is found near the Amalienborg Palace. It has one of the largest church domes in Denmark & in Scandinavia.

Round Tower

The Round Tower, Rundetårn as locals call it, is Europe’s oldest functioning observatory. It was built by Christian IV in the 17^th century to continue the astronomical studies started by Tycho Brahe. The tower has a spiral way up (no stairs) – used before to bring heavy materials up to the observatory through horses & carriages. The tower has an open-air observation deck which tourists can access for 25 DKK.

Strøget

Strøget is Copenhagen’s longest & most famous shopping street. This street has almost all kinds of shops, cafes & restaurants the locals & tourists need or want. It’s a nice place to observe Danish locals & their everyday lives.

The Citadel

The Citadel, Kastellet in local language, is Copenhagen’s fortress constructed in pentagon-shape. It used to protect the city from Swedes & international invaders. The citadel still functions as a military area at the same time a public park where locals & visitors can have a walk.

The Little Mermaid

If Brussels has Manneken Pis & Singapore has Merlion, Copenhagen has the famous Little Mermaid statue. Known as Den lille Havfrue in Danish, this bronze statue was made after Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale. This iconic statue is found on a rock by the Langelinie promenade.

Gefion Fountain

Gefion Fountain, Gefionspringvandet in local language, is a fountain structure that depicts Norse goddess Gefjon with large animals. The statue was donated by Carlsberg Foundation to the Copenhagen city government on the brewery’s 50^th anniversary. The fountain is located near The Little Mermaid & beside St Alban’s Church.

St Alban’s Church

St Alban’s Church is an Anglican church in Copenhagen, Denmark. It is found near the Kastellet, the Little Mermaid & beside the Gefion Fountain.

Nyboder

Nyboder is a row of heritage yellow houses built by Christian IV in the former Naval barracks of Copenhagen. These houses were built to accommodate the increasing Royal Danish Navy & their families.

Nyhavn

Nyhavn is is one of Copenhagen’s popular tourist destinations. The row of colorful heritage buildings by the harbor makes this place unique. The harbor was built during the time of Christian V & it served as the docking place for market goods & seafood. Nowadays, the colorful builders are all cafes, pubs & restaurants. It still functions as a harbor for selected canal tours. This is one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. I can literally sit on one side & look at the colorful houses / buildings all day.

King’s New Square

The King’s New Square, locally known as Kongens Nytorv, is a public square constructed during the time of Christian V. On one side, the square is in the end of Strøget, Copenhagen’s famous shopping street. The other side of the square is also the end of Nyhavn; one side also has the Royal Danish Theatre.

Royal Danish Theatre

The Royal Danish Theatre, Det Kongelige Teater in local language, is Denmark’s most famous performing arts institution. Located at the King’s New Square, this theatre hosts operas, ballet performances, concerts & even plays.

Freetown Christiania

Freetown Chrstiania, known locally as Fristaden Christiania, is a self-governing community which considers themselves independent of Copenhagen, of Denmark & of European Union. It is a place in Copenhagen where illegal things are legal, if you know what I mean. It’s a cool & hippie place to visit – just to visit. Mads & I went to this place just to see it. People were harmless but they offered weed to all passersby, including us. We said no, of course.

Church of Our Savior

Just a few meters from Freetown Christiania is Church of Our Savior. Locally known as Vor Frelsers Kirke, this baroque church is famous for its helix tower accessed through an open-air staircase. Mads & I went up this viewing point & saw stunning views of Copenhagen.

Warning! The helix structure & external staircase becomes smaller as you go up. In the end, only 1 person can stay & at some point, you need to give way to those people going up or going down. Entrance fee to the viewpoint range from 35 DKK to 50 DKK, depending on season.

Gråbrødretorv

Gråbrødretorv is a small & quiet public area just off Strøget. The square has restaurants, shops & offices around & has a tree in between with seating spaces.

Torvehallerne

Torvehallerne is an urban fresh food market near Nørreport Station in Copenhagen. This market is the place to have local snacks including Danish pastries & the famous open-face treat smørrebrød.

Copenhagen Christmas Market

Copenhagen’s Christmas Market in Nyhavn – those small white huts sell food & Christmas goods.

Copenhagen’s Christmas Market opened on my second to the last day in the city. The market was in Nyhavn & sold everything from socks, to beanies, Danish food & drinks & a lot more. We went around every shop & tried all possible food we can try. The booth owners offered free taste of the treats they’re selling. It was a fun experiencing a Christmas market – definitely a memorable in this first solo trip to Europe.

Copenhagen has its own beauty, isn’t it? The city has a different vibe compared to the other ones I’ve been to in this trip. Have you been to Copenhagen or other cities in Denmark? What do you think of the city? How was your trip around the city? Share your experiences in the comments section below. You may send your questions, if any, to contact@thewkndtravel.com. To be honest, I feel like I want to move Copenhagen after visiting the place. I know it is expensive but it is a great city to live in.

One last look at Nyhavn. This is the other side of the famous harbor – still beautiful & colorful. 🇩🇰

And just like that, my journey around Europe is over. This Copenhagen post will be the last post about cities on the Going Solo in Europe series. I still have P’s Lists & Flight Reports coming up related to this trip so please stay tuned. Thank you very much for joining me in this trip of a lifetime. I am already excited to go back there & to explore new countries.

Before you go, can I ask you to please follow me on my social media pages? Here are my Facebook & Instagram accounts. I hope you can also share these pages to your family & friends. Thank you!

Going Solo In Europe: ČESKÝ KRUMLOV – Czechia’s Quaint Fairy Tale Town

After spending a wonderful day around Old Town Prague & Prague Castle & an interesting walking tour around Kutná Hora, I decided to visit another Czech town down south called Český Krumlov. I initially thought of going to the spa town of Karlovy Vary but I figured Český Krumlov is the better option. Join me in today’s photoblog as I show you the beauty of Czech Republic’s quaint fairy tale town in the south of Bohemia.

In case you missed it, I went on a 19-day journey from the Philippines to Europe last October to November 2019. I flew to The Netherlands via Singapore & visited Amsterdam, Utrecht & North Holland. I also spent a few days in Belgium – around Brussels, Ghent & Bruges. I flew to Czech Republic & visited Prague, Kutná Hora & this town, Český Krumlov. I spent the last leg of the trip around Copenhagen in Denmark with a friend. If you want to know more about this trip, check out my Going Solo in Europe Series in this website.

Český Krumlov

Český Krumlov is a small Czech town 170+ kilometers down south of Prague by the Vltava River. The town rose as a settlement of the Vítkovci family in the early times. When the family line came to an end, King Wenceslaus II handed the town to the Rosenberg Family. The prominent Bohemian noble family built the castle in the 14^th century. They also promoted trade & development in town where both Germans & Czechs live.

In the 1600s, the Rosenbergs sold the town to Habsburgs of Austria which was then handed to the House of Eggenberg. The Eggenberg Family ruled the town for a century until the family line came to an end. The town was then handed over to the House of Schwarzenberg. This Bohemian (Czech) & Franconian (German) aristocrat family owned & ruled Český Krumlov until the end of the world wars. The Czech government expelled the town’s German population after the World War II. The government took control of the town since then.

In 1992, the Historic Centre of Český Krumlov made it to UNESCO’s List of World Heritage Sites. Today, Český Krumlov is a popular tourist destination to holiday makers. Big part of the town’s economy comes from tourism. The town’s main attraction is the Český Krumlov Castle. It also has museums, galleries, breweries, shops, restaurants & old buildings which tourists can visit. The best way to explore the town is by foot. The town is so small; one can literally walk to the other side of town in 20 minutes.

Planning to go to Europe once everything goes back to normal? You don’t have to worry about the Schengen visa. It’s easy to apply for one. Check out my blog on how to get a Schengen tourist visa on your own.

Prague to Český Krumlov

I took the subway to the bus terminal.. This is how Prague subway stations look like. Old & unique!

There are different ways to go to Český Krumlov from Prague. The easiest way is to rent a car & drive south for about 2-3 hours. If you don’t drive, you can opt to take the train or bus. Český Krumlov & Prague are linked by a direct train service that takes close to 3 hours per way. Several bus companies operate between these 2 places several times a day. The bus is the cheapest option; the bus trip takes about 3 hours per way.

Seats have personal entertainment screens!

I took the bus on both ways just because it’s cheaper & more comfortable. I booked with RegioJet & paid 368 CZK (about ₱750 return). I took the 7:00 am trip from Prague & arrived in Český Krumlov at 9:45 am. I left Český Krumlov at 5:00 pm & arrived back in Prague a few minutes before 8 in the evening. The bus had comfortable seats, on-board personal entertainment screens, charging & power outlets & a lavatory. I’m glad I took the bus on both ways – it was the cheapest & most comfortable option.

Wiseman Free Walking Tour

You guys know that I’m a fan of free (well tip-based) walking tours. I took these free walking tours in Amsterdam, Brussels, Ghent, Bruges & even in Prague. Český Krumlov also has its own free walking tour in the name of Wiseman Free Walking Tour. Just like the ones I before, this walking tour uses a ‘donation-based’ system where joiners give tips or donations after every tour.

The walking tour starts in front of the Tourist Information Center on the Main Square (Náměstí Svornosti) in Český Krumlov. The tour takes about 2 hours & walks the guests around Český Krumlov, from the old buildings, churches & halls to the Český Krumlov castle grounds & breweries while sharing the story of how the town developed & survived through the years. Our group had a great walk with Libor that day. He gave us a lot of information about the town’s history, way of living & culture. He also answered our questions about the town.

Libor, our guide from Wiseman Free Walking Tour, took us around Český Krumlov for 2.5 hours!

This free walking tours occur ever day at 10:30 am & 2:00 pm from April to October & 10:30 am only from November to March. Just look for the guide wearing a red shirt with a red umbrella in front of the tourist information office.

Allow me now to share with you the photos I took during this DIY day trip to Český Krumlov.

This is *Český Krumlov*‘s main square – it’s not your typical busy & crowded European town square.

This is Czech’s National Meal – Roast Park with Dumplings & Cabbage. Tbh, bothing fancy there.

I hope you enjoyed the photos! Český Krumlov is a lovely place to visit especially on a sunny cold autumn day. It feels like a fairy tale come true walking around the old houses, the castle & the cobble stone covered streets. The town’s quiet & relaxing. The locals are nice & cheerful. Český Krumlov is easily one of the favorite small towns I visited in this Going Solo in Europe trip.

One last look at *Český Krumlov* town from the castle grounds. Beautiful town – felt like a fairy tale!

Going Solo In Europe: KUTNÁ HORA – Day Trip To Central Bohemia’s Medieval Silver Mining Town

Before coming to Europe, I already knew about the Church of the Bones in Czech Republic. I didn’t know it is in Kutná Hora until our tour guide Katerina told us that they offer a day tour to that site. I got excited upon knowing it & immediately booked a tour for the following day.

After spending the day walking around Prague Old Town & Prague Castle, knowing about the city’s history & culture, I decided to take a day trip to Kutná Hora. Let me share with you the interesting photos I took during this trip outside Prague.

The main altar of Sedlec Ossuary – The Church of the Bones – in Kutna Hora, Czech Republic. 🇨🇿

Did you know that I went on a 19-day trip to Europe late last year? I flew to Singapore then to Amsterdam via Singapore Airlines. I went around The Netherlands & visited Amsterdam, Utrecht & North Holland. I also explored the cities of Brussels, Ghent & Bruges in Belgium. I flew to Prague, Czech Republic after then onward to Denmark before flying home. You can find the posts about this Europe trip under the Going Solo in Europe series category.

Kutná Hora

Kutná Hora is a small medieval town located 70 kilometres east of Prague. This town rose to economic power being the center of silver mining during the 13th century. The town produced a big part of Europe’s silver market at the end of that century.

One of the many quiet streets of Kutna Hora. The town is almost deserted – not much people out.

The town almost completed with Prague in terms of political & economic power for centuries until it succumbed to natural (floods), health (plague) & man-made (wars, invasions) factors. These eventually led to the downfall of the silver mining industry. The town was also affected during the world wars.

In 1996, UNESCO recognized the town as a World Heritage Site. Since then, the town attracts thousands of tourists every year. It has become one of the famous day trips from Prague.

Day Trip To Kutná Hora

Kutná Hora is not that easy place to go from Prague. SANDEMANs New Europe offered the day trip for €38 per person. The day tour rate includes transportation in a comfortable coach, entrance fees to all sites & an English-speaking tour guide. Lunch is at the guest’s expense. The tour company has already reserved seats in a local restaurant & took lunch orders (menu provided) in the bus on the way to Kutná Hora. Sandeman’s rate is affordable compared to the €50 half day tours I saw online & in tour agencies around Prague. I forgot to mention this tour is offered in English & Spanish languages.

Our tour guide, Nicolo, met us in front of Cartier shop in Old Town Square at 9:45 & walked us to the coach. We left Prague a few minutes after 10:00 & took close to an hour trip to Kutná Hora. We first went to Cathedral of Assumption of Our Lady & St John the Baptist then to Sedlec Ossuary (the Church of the Bones). After spending a few minutes in the church, we all went to St. Barbara’s Church in town & walked down to the town center. We had our lunch at Restaurace Dačický (I ordered the wild boar goulash with gingerbread dumplings & the Kutna Hora dark beer) & continued the tour around the old town. We went to the Italian Court & St. James Church before walking back to the bus. We left Kutná Hora at 16:30 in the afternoon & arrived back in Prague at 17:30.

Let me share with you the photos I took during this day trip.

This is outside the Cathedral of Assumption of Our Lady & St John the Baptist in Kutna Hora CZ 🇨🇿

One of the main pieces in Sedlec Ossuary – made from bones of people. Interesting place to visit. 🇨🇿

St. Barbara’s Church in Kutna Hora – a Gothic-style church that took hundreds of years to finish.

I ordered wild boar goulash with gingerbread dumplings & Kutna Hora dark beer for 258 CZK. 😋

It was an interesting day trip to Kutná Hora! I am happy I finally saw the Church of the Bones in person. It felt weird at first going inside the church but it eventually became interesting when Nico told us why there’s a church like this. The other sites in Kutná Hora were extraordinary. Taking this tour with SANDEMANs New Europe was a big relief. Our tour guide was informative & very engaging.

One last photo of the Sedlec Ossuary – The Church of the Bones in Kutna Hora in Czech Republic 🇨🇿

Would you have the guts to go to Kutná Hora & visit the Church of the Bones? Are you planning to include this in your future plans in Czech Republic? You should! Do you have any questions about the town or the tour? Feel free post them in the comment section below. You may also send them via e-mail to contact@thewkndtravel.com & I’ll get to them soon.

Thank you for joining me in Kutná Hora today. Next up is a fairy tale town in South Czechia called Český Krumlov! Watch out for that post.

Going Solo In Europe: PRAGUE – Europe’s Most Beautiful Capital City

After exploring different cities around Netherlands & Belgium for a week, I took a 65-minute Brussels Airlines flight to Czech Republic. My time in the Dutch & Belgian territories are over; it’s time to move to the next country, time to explore the famous & most beautiful city in Europe – Prague. People I met during the trip often asked me why I chose this city over the usual Paris or the near ones Cologne or Luxembourg. Well, I’ve always wanted to see this city & I promised myself I will include this in my first ever trip to Europe. Let me share with you in this post what this amazing city has to offer.

In case you missed it, I went on a 19-day trip to Europe late last year. I flew to Singapore then to Amsterdam via Singapore Airlines. I went around The Netherlands & visited Amsterdam, Utrecht & North Holland. I also explored the cities of Brussels, Ghent & Bruges in Belgium. I flew to Czech Republic after then onward to Denmark before flying home. You can find the posts about this Europe trip under the Going Solo in Europe series category.

Prague

Prague is the capital & the biggest city in Czech Republic. The city is dubbed as the political, economic & cultural center of Central Europe. Located by the Vltava River, the city flourished during the medieval period being the seat of the Kingdom of Bohemia as well as the base of Holy Roman Emperors. Its most notable ruler, Charles IV (whom the Charles Bridge & a lot of things in Prague are named after), built the city into an important city in Europe. The city survived wars, invasions & natural calamities over the years & rose into a famous tourist destination in central Europe. It was the capital of Czechoslovakia until the state was dissolved in 1993. Prague’s old town & historic center was included in UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites in 1992.

Czech Republic is one of the Schengen states & is a member of the European Union. The country doesn’t use Euro (€) as official currency. It still uses Czech Korunas (CZK) with a conversion rate of around 24-27 CZK for every €1. Prague or Czech Republic in general is relatively cheaper to travel compared to other Schengen countries. Prague is one of the famous holiday destinations in Europe & it attracts millions of visitors every year. Majority of its citizens know how to speak English but their local language (Czech) is still the main language all over the city. In my opinion, Prague has more beautiful buildings & heritage structures compared to the other cities I’ve been to.

Brussels To Prague

Brussels & Prague are about 900 kilometers away from each other with Germany being in between. The fastest & cheapest way to reach Prague from Brussels is by plane. I checked the train & bus options but it’ll take me a little over day. I took the 65-minute afternoon Brussels Airlines flight & paid €67,40 one-way including baggage allowance. Know more about this flight by checking my flight report on SN 2811.

Going Around Prague

Going around Prague is easy. The best way to explore the city, especially the Old Town area, is by foot. Every corner of the city is so beautiful, so picturesque. You can walk around all day, stop at every corner, admire the beauty of each side & take lovely photos. You won’t mind getting lost in the city, its beauty is mind-blowing.

The 90-minute ticket I bought in the airport station; I used this to go to the city via bus & subway.

Aside from just walking around all day, you can also go from one place to the other using the subway, trams & buses. The city’s transportation system runs on a uniform time-based ticketing service. Tickets can be used on any mode of public transport as many times & with as many transfers as you like during its validity period. A short-term ticket that’s valid for 30 minutes costs 24 CZK (Czech Korunas). The 90-minute ticket costs 32 CZK, 24-hour ticket costs 110 CZK & the 3-day ticket costs 310 CZK. You can take the bus, tram & subway within 30 minutes for only 24 CZK. Tickets are purchased in ticket vending machines inside the stations or inside the trams.

Václav Havel Airport Prague, or commonly known as Prague Airport (PRG), is located a few miles away from the city. The cheapest way to reach the city is by taking Bus 119 to Nadrazi Veleslavin Station on the Green Line, transferring to the metro & getting off in Můstek of Muzeum Station. Trip takes about 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. It is recommended to take the 90-minute ticket which costs 32 CZK.

Prague Walking Tours

If you’ve read my previous posts about Amsterdam, Brussels, Ghent & Bruges, you know that I am a fan of walking tours. I believe these walking tours are the best way to know the city from tour professionals at a small cost. I joined 2 tours in Prague – both organized & ran by SANDEMANs New Europe, the same tour group I joined in Amsterdam & Brussels.

That is our friendly tour guide, Katerina. walking us around Josefov – Prague’s old Jewish quarter.

I joined the 3-hour Prague Walking Tour led by Katerina. She walked us through the old town, told us the history of Prague (from the early centuries, the Bohemian times, Nazi invasion up to the post-war times), showed us some unique sightings (Astronomical Clock, Jewish Cemetery, Charles Bridge) & gave us tips on where else to go & what else to do in this fascinating city. This English & Spanish tip-based walking tour happens every day at 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, 14:00 & 16:00, starts in front of the Cartier in the Old Town Square (look for the red umbrella with the SANDEMANs logo in it) & ends at Jan Palach Square.

This is our Prague Castle tour group with our guide Brandon who walked us around the complex.

On that same day, after the walking tour, I joined the Prague Castle Tour led by Brandon. This €12 x 3-hour tour took us up to the Prague Castle, around the Castle district & in various churches in the area. Brandon shared to us the history of the Prague Castle & the nearby buildings, the stories of the Kings, Dukes & Emperors who lived there & even showed to us the changing ceremony of the castle guards. This tour happens at 14:30 every day plus 10:00 schedules every Saturday & Sunday. Tickets are available online or during the free walking tour break. Tour goers need a 30-minute ticket worth (24 CZK) for the tram ride up to the castle grounds; tram tickets can also be purchased during the walking tour break. This tour starts at Jan Palach Square in front of Rudolfinum (look for the red umbrella with the SANDEMANs logo in it) & ends right outside the castle grounds.

I strongly recommend taking these walking tours with SANDEMANs New Europe in Prague. The guides are professional, informative & accommodating. I can’t thank Katerina & Brandon for these 2 fun tours. I learned a lot in 6 hours of walking around Prague Old Town & Prague Castle.
