Arrive in Prague, spend two nights in Český Krumlov and two in Brno, then stay in Olomouc before returning to Prague. Keep the longer journey to Brno clear of timed sightseeing.

Open a day to read the plan and its spending notes.
Check the journey from the airport or station to your accommodation. Leave the bags, have a meal and take a short walk in the old centre or near your room. This plan has only one Prague night at the start, so add time if you want a full castle and museum day. Check tomorrow's departure stop before the evening. Sleep in Prague.
€30 for one bed, €25 for meals, €6 for local travel and €5 for extras. Add paid visits, excursions and intercity or airport tickets. These are chosen allowances; use your actual bookings.
Estimated day spending: €66.00
Take the chosen coach or train from Prague, allowing roughly three hours on a suitable service plus local travel. Confirm the arrival stop: the main bus station is about a 13-minute walk from the central square, while the railway station is about 35 minutes away. Leave your bags before exploring the old town and river bends. Keep a paid castle tour for tomorrow. Sleep in Český Krumlov.
€30 for one bed, €25 for meals, €6 for local travel and €5 for extras. Add paid visits, excursions and intercity or airport tickets. These are chosen allowances; use your actual bookings.
Estimated day spending: €66.00
Use a reserved interior tour if you have one, or choose the castle museum and tower. The adult museum-and-tower ticket costs 280 CZK and the viewpoint involves 162 steps; it does not include every guided interior. Leave time for lunch and a river walk afterwards. Check tomorrow's coach stop and luggage allowance before the evening. Sleep in Český Krumlov.

Estimated day spending: €66.00
Choose a suitable FlixBus journey to Brno, with the fastest listed trips taking about 4 hours 20 minutes. Check the actual connection, arrival stop and luggage allowance, and add time for traffic and reaching the stops. Price the coach for your chosen date before booking. After checking in, keep the evening for a meal and a short central walk. Sleep in Brno.

Estimated day spending: €66.00
Visit Villa Tugendhat if you booked a guided interior ticket in advance. Otherwise check its garden and exhibition access, or choose a different museum or underground visit. Leave time for Zelný trh, a café and the central streets. A 90 CZK city ticket covers 24 hours in zones 100 and 101; compare it with the rides you will make. Sleep in Brno.

Estimated day spending: €66.00
Take a suitable direct train from Brno, allowing about 1½ to 2¼ hours depending on the service, plus the station journeys. Drop your bags before walking around Horní náměstí, Dolní náměstí and the cathedral quarter. The Holy Trinity Column is under restoration through the end of 2026, so expect works. Choose a meal and one longer visit if opening times fit. Sleep in Olomouc.

Take the booked Olomouc to Prague train and check the actual journey time, station and reservation. Add enough time for any airport connection and a delay buffer. If your flight is early, return to Prague the previous evening and adjust the accommodation plan. Leave sightseeing optional until the departure arrangements are secure. No overnight stay is included after this final day.

This plan has six nights: one in Prague, two in Český Krumlov, two in Brno and one in Olomouc. Day seven returns to Prague. It gives you a short introduction to the capital, not a full Prague city break. Add two nights there if the castle, museums and neighbourhoods are priorities.
The main trade-off is the move from Český Krumlov to Brno. It crosses a substantial part of the country, so keep that day for travel and an easy evening. For a slower week, choose Prague with either Krumlov or the two Moravian cities.
Use the Prague arrival day for checking in and a nearby walk. On day two, take a suitable coach or train to Český Krumlov, allowing roughly three hours on a suitable service and extra time to reach the room. Coaches stop closer to the old town than the railway station.
Keep the afternoon flexible, then put a castle visit on day three. The Krumlov guide distinguishes the 280 CZK museum-and-tower ticket from guided interior tours. Choose a route and language before paying. Two nights leave time for meals and a river walk without squeezing everything between buses.
FlixBus lists a Český Krumlov to Brno journey from about 4 hours 20 minutes. Check the actual departure, any change and the arrival stop. Add time at both ends and allow for traffic. Price the coach for your travel date before booking.
Rail is an alternative to compare in the ČD planner, but it has different connections and must not be assumed to match the coach time. For this plan, choose the coach that suits your day and leave Brno's first evening for a meal and a short central walk.
Use the full Brno day for Villa Tugendhat if you have an interior ticket, or choose a central walk and another visit. The Brno guide explains the advance booking and garden alternative. There is no need to arrange a South Moravian excursion as well on this short stay.
On day six, compare direct Brno to Olomouc trains. Allow about 1½ to 2¼ hours, depending on the service; the 2026 railway timetable includes faster R12 services. Drop your bags before exploring. The Olomouc guide covers current tickets and the Holy Trinity Column's restoration through the end of 2026.
The day figures add up to €432.00 for one traveller, before the extra costs listed below. The day notes show the stay, meals, local travel and small extras separately. The simple stay allowance is for one bed. A final day in these destinations has no overnight allowance. These are chosen spending plans, not measured averages or available room offers.
Add paid visits, day-trip transport, intercity tickets and airport journeys. Replace the stay line with your full booking cost, including taxes and cleaning. Do not add the city budget cards on top of these day amounts; they are an alternative way to plan the same spending.
