Each summer, the UNESCO-listed village of Holašovice in South Bohemia transforms into a lively celebration of Czech heritage. Thousands of visitors come for the Peasant Festival, where handmade crafts, folk music, and traditional costumes take center stage. And at the end of August, the historic village green will host a unique outdoor performance of Smetana’s opera The Bartered Bride.

Nestled just 20 kilometers west of České Budějovice and not far from Český Krumlov, the picturesque village of Holašovice is a perfectly preserved example of South Bohemian folk baroque architecture.
