Explore Czech Republic
One of the most unique countries in all of Europe, the Czech Republic is a luring place with delicious food, interesting culture, an array of beers and world-famed art awaiting for you to discover it
Introduction to Czech Republic
The scenery in the Czech Republic constantly looks and feels as if is out of a fantasy novel. Greenfields, rolling hills, deep forests, and gorgeous rivers, everywhere you turn is like looking at a painting.
The country is split into two geographical regions – Bohemia to the west and Moravia to the east – and each one has a distinct feeling to it.
With unique spots like the Bohemian Switzerland National Park which feels like a land where fairy tales exist and the Moravian Karst with its stunning cave systems, the scenery in the Czech Republic is something that should be experienced.

The Top 30 Things To Do In Prague
Prague is a wonderful city to visit all year round as during summer it's warm and lovely and during winter is snowy and magical.
There’s just something unique in Czech cuisine. Because the country has a long history, often filled with strife, the food that its people ate often reflects this. While today Czech cuisine is much more meat-based than in the past, it still counts as one of the richest and most filled with flavour in all of Europe. With meals like the traditional beef steak tartare and Czech goulash, eating local tradition food feels like a continuous culinary blessing. And that’s without even mentioning some of the world’s finest beers because Czech beer is totally awesome!

Due to the position of the Czech Republic, and its historic ancestors in the heart of Europe, Czech culture is very diverse.
The art scene is constantly on the forefront, and it's no surprise that the term Bohemian is defined as someone who is unburdened by the worries of tomorrow. There is even an old saying in the country which states that every Czech is a musician.

You are awesome!
With a history as varied as the Czech’s, it is no wonder its cities are so alive. And even though Prague is one of the world’s most famous destinations, it’s not the only city which feels like a living being. Cities like Karlovy Vary, Brno, Kutna Hora, and many more, all have distinct emotions tied to their existence, and yet feel so intrinsically Czech. It’s a dynamic that other countries in the world can only dream of, and yet Czech cities pull it off with ease.

There are plenty of options to see or do in the Czech Republic and this guide will help you get started on your travel itinerary. Regardless of if you are after an experience of the nation's culture, nature, or food, here are some important things to know before you go:
Accommodation
When choosing accommodation in the Czech Republic, the nightly rates can vary significantly based on where you book. The average nightly rates in small towns are 175 CZK but can go up to 400 CZK a night in major cities like Prague.
Dining
When it comes to dining, you’ll pay more when you eat at a fast-food chain than in a local but inexpensive restaurant. This is another incentive to try out local Czech cuisine!
Transportation
Trains are the major public transportation in the Czech Republic. Don’t expect modern trains, though. Inter-city buses offer another cheap way to get around.
Sceneries
When you visit the Czech Republic, no trip is complete without exploring a castle. Prague Castle is one that you shouldn’t miss. Natural sceneries also abound. Do check out the Punkva Caves, Rešov Waterfalls, Podyjí National Park, and more.
The nightlife scene in the Czech Republic, meanwhile, starts a bit later than most in Europe (10 PM).
