October is the last month of the main season and a beautiful one — about 13°C/5°C, with autumn foliage colouring the wooded hills around the Vltava horseshoe bend, arguably the town's most photogenic backdrop.
Timing matters: the castle's interior tours and Baroque Theatre close after October 31, so an October visit still catches them, while November onward loses them until April. Vltava rafting also typically wraps up around the end of the month. Crowds are moderate and prices shoulder-season.

Cesky Krumlov in October — Full Picture
October is the last month of the main season and a beautiful one — about 13°C/5°C, with autumn foliage colouring the wooded hills around the Vltava horseshoe bend, arguably the town's most photogenic backdrop.
Timing matters: the castle's interior tours and Baroque Theatre close after October 31, so an October visit still catches them, while November onward loses them until April. Vltava rafting also typically wraps up around the end of the month. Crowds are moderate and prices shoulder-season.
Days are mild but evenings turn cold, with a wide swing, so layer up. Rainfall eases to around 50mm, though damp, misty mornings are common — atmospheric for photos but slippery on the cobblestones.
October rewards travelers who want autumn colour, open interiors, and manageable crowds before the winter shutdown. Aim for the first three weeks to be safe on the late-October closures.
What to Wear & What to Pack
Autumn proper — about 13°C/5°C with a noticeable day-night swing. A warm jacket, sweater, and scarf for cool mornings and evenings. Waterproof shoes for damp cobblestones.
