Discover new destinations in Czech Republic

Enjoying a central convenient position bordering Germany and Austria and a surge of tourism in the last decades, the Czech Republic is one of the most popular holiday destinations in Europe. The country has so much to offer that you will be not short on activities and ideas while planning your trip to the Czech Republic, where you will find a rich and pristine nature that encompasses lakes, mountains and untouched forests, and many scenic towns and castles dating back to the Middle Ages. The capital Prague, with its stunning monuments and cosmopolitan vibes, is still on the top of most travellers’ preferred destinations list, but if you do not have any time restrictions during your stay you should consider paying a visit to Olomouc, a beautiful university city with baroque aesthetics in the province of Moravia noted for its parks, churches, sculptures, and majestic fountains.

The historic Old Town is a fascinating maze of cobblestone streets unveiling magnificent monuments and landmarks at every corner and pulsing with the lively sounds of a city that seems to never sleep.

Prague is an excellent holiday destination that appeals to any kind of travellers thanks to its eclectic nature: once an important centre of the Bohemian Kingdom, Prague combines today a glorious cultural and artistic past with a modern, cosmopolitan vibe, offering a unique mix of Baroque art, gothic architecture, and contemporary aesthetics. One absolute must during your stay in Prague is a stroll through the Old Town, where you can admire the renowned Astronomical Clock and the Gothic Church of Our Lady Before Týn, and the neighboring Jewish quarter, Josefov, the birthplace of Franz Kafka and home to Europe's oldest Jewish cemetery. At a short distance, you will find beautiful Letná Park, featuring many walking trails, a café, and breathtaking views of the city. Charles Bridge, a scenic architectural masterpiece that was once the only route across Vltava River in Prague, connects the Old Town to the district Malá Strana, or ‘’Lesser Town’’ as it is known, where you will breathe a truly bohemian atmosphere and can enjoy casual diners and pubs lining the quaint narrow streets, or leave a tribute to the late Beatle on the John Lennon Wall. During your stay, you cannot miss the amazing Prague Castle, a masterpiece of Medieval art that seems to have come out straight from a fairy tale and is considered the largest ancient castle in the world.

The best periods to visit Prague are definitely the spring and early autumn when the weather is mild and you can make the most of your stay avoiding mass tourism. When you are travelling through the Czech Republic with no time limitations, be sure you visit Šumava National Park, a densely forested natural reserve home to an incredible variety of flora and fauna, and the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, full of pine forests and deep valleys, majestic rock towers, and ravines. If you feel even more adventurous, do not miss the chance to explore Krkonoše, an imposing mountain range featuring many hiking and bike trails and including some of the highest peaks in the country. Prague is also a great holiday destination in wintertime when the whole city glows in the Christmas Markets’ lights and the snowy landscape evokes the atmosphere of a fairy tale. No matter what season you visit Prague and the Czech Republic, you will have a chance to try some local Pilsner pivo, a beer brew which is made just outside Prague and popular for its golden color and strong flavour.
