Vrchlabí castle
One of the oldest Renaissance castles in Bohemia, completed in 1546 by order of Christoph von Gendorf, it is the main sight to see in Vrchlabí.
Child, dog and smoking-friendly family-run restaurant with great service and good Czech food & drinks. If the weather's good and you are out with children, the playground on one side is perfect.
Simple cafe/restaurant with a golf-themed interior. Be sure to try the extensive range of hot chocolates and home-made lemonades.
Very friendly camp site with mix of brand new (tent pitches, bathrooms, cabins) and somewhat dilapidated (reception/restaurant/playground) fixtures. Surprisingly popular with Dutch visitors.
Large supermarket, stocks pretty much everything.
The well-known budget supermarket.
By train
The station is on the eastern side of town, on the end of a branch line from Trutnov. Trains run approximately every two hours from 7h until 19h.
By bus
Autobusové nádraží Vrchlabí - the bus station - is located on the Eastern bank of the Labe (Elbe), just north of the train station.
By plane
Vrchlabí has an airport Vrchlabí (LKVR) - but it is basically just a well-mowed field suitable only for light general aviation – it may only be viable if you have your own plane.
Vrchlabí is small enough that anywhere you would want to go is reachable on foot - which is fortunate as there are few alternatives if you haven't brought your own transport.<
