Czech Republic Country Information

Country information

The jewel in the Czech Republic's crown of attractions is its breathtaking, medieval capital city - Prague.

Generations of artists, revolutionaries, authors and lovers have taken inspiration from the fairytale beauty of its architecture, and then were compelled to leave more permanent marks on the cityscape.

If possible, tear yourself away from the delights of the capital to venture deep into the heartlands of the Republic, where you'll find elegant spa towns nestled in rolling landscapes, ancient and mysterious forests, and magnificent caves to explore.
