Car parking

Parking in Tábor, especially in the historic center and its surroundings, is difficult. The town is located on a jagged rocky promontory, so parking is limited. It is also densely populated and is seat to many companies and institutions. These so-called residents have their own prepaid parking places.

Places for visitors are concentrated in several locations. Directly in the historic center, the mode of the residential zone is set, where you can park only in reserved places, which are often occupied.

The city center can be reached on foot from the recommended parking lots in about 5-10 minutes. We also recommend using public transport at frequent intervals.

Thank you for your understanding and please be patient. Enjoy the beauty of our city, but please be considerate of its residents.

Parking in Tábor is divided into free parking lots and so-called paid parking areas - there are two of these areas: Old Town and New Town. In addition, some parking places are reserved only for residents (inhabitants with a permanent residence) and organizations with company address in the given area). At some of these places, it is possible to park at certain times after purchasing a parking ticket, information can always be found on the signs placed at these parking places.

You can find a detailed overview of the parking system, including a map, price list and parking fee payment options, on the website of Technické služby Tábor s.r.o.

The southern railway corridor Prague - České Budějovice - Linz (A) passes through the city, other lines go to Pelhřimov, Bechyně and Písek.

The train and bus stations are opposite each other. The nearest public transport stop is in front of the bus station hall. The distance of both stations from the historic center is 1.5 km, i.e. approximately 20 minutes by walking.

Tickets can be purchased at newsstands, in the hall of the bus station and in ticket machines at bus stops (also from the driver for an additional fee), other options are SMS and SEJF tickets and payment by card directly on public transport buses - a ticket marker that enables this payment, it is differentiated by a blue color (the others are orange). After paying by card, a ticket is not issued, and verification is by way of special machine that is available to the transport control staff. Children under 6, physically disabled persons and persons over 70 are transported free of charge. Children aged 6 to 15 and seniors aged 65 to 70 can use discounted tickets. The easiest way to get to the city center is buses No. 11 and 13, which have the shortest intervals (5-10 minutes in peak hours, 20-30 minutes in the evening). Minibuses on line no. 60 and 61 go directly to the historic center of the city. Most of the monuments and interesting places in Tábor can therefore be visited without a car - by public transport.

Tourist line – to the city center with public transport

The historical center of Tábor is so winding that it must have special buses that can drive through its streets. You can get on at the bus station (lines 60 and 61) and in 10 minutes you are at Žižka Square.

Bus route 60 from the direction of Maredova - Bus station - Žižkovo náměstí - Čelkovice školka

On this route, we recommend that you get on at the „Autobusové nádraží“ stop, the bus continues to the „9. května“ stop (near the botanical garden), „Křižíkovo náměstí“, the „U Střelnice“ stop, „Tržní náměstí“ stop (from where you are just a few steps from the town walls ) and „Žižkovo náměstí“ stop (we recommend getting off here, you are in the very center of the historic center). If you decide to continue, the minibus will take you to the stops „Kotnov“ (here you can visit the observation tower of the castle), „Švehlův most“ (with a beautiful view of Lužnice) and „Pintovka“ (near this stop you can either go down to the Eleonorka spring and go along Lužnice to the Harrachovka footbridge, or join the educational trail in the Pintovka forest park and visit „the forest zoo“ with deer and fallow deer). The end of the route is in the Čelkovice district. If you want to enjoy the view of the mill wheel and walk around the river, get off at the „Čelkovice, Lázně“ stop. It is only 1 kilometer back to the center, but with a big climb, so if you are not a fan of stairs, wait for the next connection in the direction of Maredova.
