Travel isn’t always about grand gestures or dramatic discoveries. Sometimes, it’s about the quiet, effortless moments in between—the comfort of a smooth ride, the view from a window, the calm knowing you’re in good hands. That’s exactly how I felt traveling through Central Europe with CK Shuttle, making my way from Linz to Cesky Krumlov, and later, from Cesky Krumlov to Salzburg.
It was a trip stitched together not just by destinations, but by the journey itself.
Leaving Linz Behind: A Door-to-Door Escape
My day began in Linz, a city of contrasts—modern art museums beside centuries-old churches, and streetcars humming along cobbled alleys. After a quiet morning stroll and one last coffee along the Danube, I was picked up right at my hotel by the CK Shuttle driver. No rushing to a station, no confusing train platforms. Just a polite greeting, a spacious seat, and a well-kept van ready for the road.
As we left the city behind, the landscapes began to change—rolling hills, sleepy villages, thick forests. I barely noticed the time pass. The driver was courteous, the ride smooth, and there was just the right amount of silence to let me take it all in.
Cesky Krumlov: A Town Pulled From a Painting
Arriving in Cesky Krumlov felt like stepping into a medieval fairytale. The old town welcomed me with red-tiled rooftops, a winding river, and a castle tower that seemed to watch over everything. CK Shuttle dropped me off just a short walk from my guesthouse, nestled in the historic center. It couldn’t have been easier.
I spent the next day and night wandering the cobblestone streets, exploring art galleries, and sitting by the Vltava River with a glass of local wine. This town doesn’t ask you to do much—it just asks you to notice it, slowly.
To Salzburg: Through Mountains and Memories
The following morning, CK Shuttle picked me up once again, right on time. This leg of the journey took me from Cesky Krumlov to Salzburg, and if I thought the first ride was scenic, this one was something else. The hills grew steeper, the trees denser, and eventually the outline of the Alps began to rise on the horizon.
There’s something incredibly peaceful about being in motion with no worries. No transfers. No baggage wrangling. Just smooth roads, breathtaking views, and the quiet comfort of knowing you’re heading somewhere wonderful.
Arriving in Mozart’s City
We reached Salzburg by afternoon. The city greeted me with baroque beauty and alpine charm. As I stepped out near my hotel, I realized something: this wasn’t just about getting from one place to another. Traveling with CK Shuttle had given me time. Time to look, to breathe, to really feel the places I was passing through.
If you’re planning to explore this part of Europe, take it from me: CK Shuttle turns travel into a joy. Whether you’re chasing castles in Cesky Krumlov or climbing the musical hills of Salzburg, there’s no better way to get there.
Seamless, scenic, stress-free — that’s how travel should be.
And with CK Shuttle, that’s exactly what it is.
