The Czech Republic

The Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is still all things to all
people. From the pulsing capital Prague to the
back-in-time villages of Moravia, from toiling up
mountains to lounging in spas, from the
world-famous Pilsner to the strains of Smetana
and Dvorák, there's an experience to suit every
taste.

Stunning architecture is not limited to Prague -
there are plenty of Gothic, Renaissance and
Baroque facades in other towns.
4
Among the richest are Kutná Hora in Central
Bohemia
5
Cheb, Loket and Domažlice in western Bohemia
6
Olomouc in northern Moravia
7
Kromêríž in southern Moravia
8
The Vltava River (the Czech Republic's longest
river)

Prague Maticka Praha - 'little mother Prague' -
was largely undamaged by WWII, and the cityscape
is stunning. Its compact medieval centre remains
an evocative maze of cobbled lanes, ancient
courtyards, dark passages and churches beyond
number, all watched over by an 1100-year-old
castle.

Ceský KrumlovCeský Krumlov is one of Bohemia's
most beautiful towns, with a well-preserved
historical centre that is on UNESCO's World
Heritage List. The city's castle is the second
largest in the Czech Republic and it dominates
the town from a hill overlooking a
horseshoe-shaped bend of the Vltava river.

The Czechs are a plain-spoken, even-tempered
people, revealing a spectrum of cultural,
religious and political influences that is
surprisingly broad for such a small country
