Prague, the capital, is one of the Europe's most visited cities but the rest of the country is still well off the regular tourist route so its unspoiled nature is a great asset for outdoor activities.
The Czech Republic is relatively safe, good value, has excellent transport, superb sights and both outdoor and indoor activities in good supply.

Prague - The magical city of bridges,
cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes, whose image has been
mirrored in the surface of the Vltava river for more than ten centuries.
Prague is also a modern European metropolis full of energy, music, and art.
It's a city of contrasts: Serene green isles in the river and peaceful parks draping the city's seven hills are just steps away from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city center. Prague's atmosphere is both intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget once you visit.
During a walk through the city, you will quickly discover that the history of European architecture has left behind splendid representatives of its various periods and styles. There are Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Classicist buildings, as well as various neo-historic styles and Art Nouveau.
Fifteen large bridges accent the panorama of Prague. Fourteen span the river Vltava, one bridges the vast Nusle valley. The oldest and the most valuable bridge was built in 1357 and bears the name of its founder, the Emperor Charles IV. You cannot miss it when strolling along the Royal Way, the famous coronation route of Czech kings connecting the Old Town with the Prague Castle.
One of the most breath-taking, as well as photogenic, views of the Castle opens up from the very head of Charles Bridge. The Castle panorama features just about all the historic architectural styles; it’s not an exaggeration to say that you are looking at a thousand years’ worth of European architecture.
The Czech metropolis abounds in theatres, concert and exhibition halls, museums and galleries. Prague truly offers something for everyone, and each of its many faces has its own special charm.

Cesky Krumlov - Picturesquely located on the meander of the Vltava River, the town of Ceský Krumlov is becoming the final destination for thousands of visitors from our own country and abroad. This is no wonder as it has been preserved as a medieval architectonical historical landmark; Ceský Krumlov was included among the monuments of world importance, to which exceptional care, attention and support had to be indispensably devoted. The unique urban environment contains more than 300 historical buildings and its atmosphere is absolutely incomparable.
Egon Schiele Art Centre - This gallery houses a collection of some of Egon Schiele's work, plus exhibitions of other major artists' work. The building itself is a former brewery, and well worth a look.
The State Castle of Ceský Krumlov, with its architectural standard, cultural tradition and extensive grounds, ranks among the most important historic sights in the central European region.
The Cesky Krumlov Region is one of the largest areas in Middle Europe still remaining untouched by civilisation in the negative sense. The Novohradske Mountains and Sumava are a part of the "Green Roof of Europe", which means they are areas of outstanding natural value. The natural beauty of this region forms its basic attraction for many tourists and visitors.
