| Czech Republic |
A wealth of natural beauty, culture, and history!
This forms the great attraction of the Czech Republic, as well as the friendly
prices. The rich cultural history legacy is reflected in the many castles,
fortresses, and monasteries. Nine sites in the Czech Republic have been
listed as a UNESCO’s World Heritage Site, such as the historic city centre
of Prague.
The fairy tale city of Prague lies in the heart of the country, on the river
Moldau. You will find a wealth of interesting sites in the ‘City of a Hundred
Towers’, such as the astronomical clock ‘Orloj’ of the town hall, or the
Prague Fortress.
The Czech Republic is not only steeped in culture and history, it also has
much to offer in terms of sports activities. Explore its natural beauty
on foot or by bike – there are many marked footpaths and cycle routes, especially
in the Bohemian Forest. Sport fishing and water sports are also available,
thanks to the various rivers and lakes. Winter sports are another good option
in the Czech Giant Mountains, which is home to the most popular winter sports
resort of Spindleruv Mlyn.
You can also relax on one of the many health resorts. Thanks to the presence
of natural thermal and mineral springs, you will find some 30 health resorts,
scattered all over the country. The most important resort is Karlovy Vary,
in the western part of the Czech Republic.
