Introducing Czech Republic

Discover the Czech Republic.
The French may have Paris, but the Czechs have Prague—and there's a centuries-long debate over which is Europe's most beautiful capital city. For many, Prague’s gothic architecture, imposing castles, and stone bridges spanning the Vltava River make it the hands-down winner. And the bounty of Czechia doesn't end there: the country's two historic provinces are filled with countryside villages, lauded beer and wine producers, and more.

When is the best time to visit?
Summer is the high tourist season throughout Europe, and the Czech Republic is no different. If you come to Prague in July or August, expect massive crowds in the narrow streets of its historic center and seas of selfie sticks on the city’s famed bridges. A great alternative during these months is exploration beyond Prague to Český Krumlov and the less-visited countryside.

Fall and spring visits to Prague are much more enjoyable—the spring months (March-May) are especially ideal, with pleasant weather and lower prices on flights and lodging. Winter gets very chilly in central Europe, though Prague does offer fun holiday festivities.

Where should you go?
You’d be remiss not to visit the capital. All the rumors of Prague’s jaw-dropping beauty are true. The towering Prague Castle dominates the skyline, and a stroll across iconic Charles Bridge is mandatory. The Old Town Square is a sight to behold as well, and there are amazing restaurants in this historic district (try the goulash).

If there’s one place to rival the beauty of Prague, it’s Český Krumlov. On its surface, this city in south Bohemia resembles a beautiful model village. Also situated on the Vltava River, its Old Town features historic buildings in the gothic, renaissance, and baroque architectural styles, spanning from Medieval times through the 17th century.

How many days do you need?
You can experience Prague’s highlights in three or four days. With a week you can really get to know the hidden corners of the city and enjoy its museums and historic sites. With a little over a week, you could visit Prague and travel to Český Krumlov, located about two hours south of the capital.

Dana, or tour guide was wonderful! Lots of history and interesting facts for sure. Our driver John was also super polite and very nice. Then we went with Yakra, our guide to Kutna Hora, a UNESCO site and had a very nice meal at the end of the day. The next day we went to the Nuclear Bunker tour and we had Lada, a wonderful guide that shared his personal stories about that time. It was very historical and interesting. We ended the city with a nice Classical Concert in the Spanish Synagogue. It was magical.
Our second stop was Dresden and after arriving we took a scenic boat cruise in the Elbe River. Nice views and great sunset! Then we met laura, our personal guide and toured the city and its main landmarks. She was wonderful! I was very impressed with the beauty of the City. Our final stop was Berlin, and even though it welcomed us with rain, Klaus, our personal guide made it very interesting (although was very dark). The next day we took a day trip to Potsdam and Sanssouci Palace with Klaus and it was wonderful! We learnt about history and was very impressed with his knowledge. The last day we had Hilke as our guide and she made it worth it! We went to all the main buildings, the hidden streets, while she was teaching us history and culture. She was really good! This trip was another one for the books for sure!
