💡 Local Tip
Call ahead to confirm fuel, handling, and customs availability; LKCS is a small regional airport where services are arranged on request rather than standing by 24/7.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis, ride-hailing, or pre-booked transfers are the most practical way to reach the city center, as public transport to the airport is limited. If you are heading to Český Krumlov or other South Bohemian towns, arrange a car rental in České Budějovice or a private transfer in advance. Allow extra time during peak tourist season, when regional roads can be busy.
