## Corrections to claims found elsewhere

- Most Český Krumlov day tours do NOT include the castle interiors; the guided walk covers the free courtyards.
- Castle-included tours cannot get you inside on Mondays or from November to March, when interior tours do not run.
- A day trip gives about four hours in town, not a full day: plan one paid sight at most.
