WHERE TO GO
Castles and châteaux
Castles and chateaux are frequently a dominant
feature of the Czech landscape. The oldest often
only as mediaeval ruins adjoin wild forests or
bizarre rock formations. Hunting lodges, romantic
palaces, or the residences of later times adorn
the meadows of the Czech Republic. The Czech Republic
has over two thousand castles, ruins, chateaux
and fortresses, which are open to visitors from
April to September.
Historical cities
Located at the heart of Europe, the Czech lands
were confronted with various cultural influences
and constructional styles during the course of
history. It was one of a few countries that suffered
less by both the last war and the clearance projects
of modernism, its cultural inheritance was preserved.
As an example: Prague, Cesky Krumlov, Brno, Terezin,
etc.
Spas
The Czech Republic is noted for its extraordinary
number of mineral and thermal springs. Thanks
to their abundance and our knowledge of their
advantageous medical effects a unique spa tradition
has been created. The most famous spa towns -
Karlovy Vary, Marianske Lazne and Frantiskovy
Lazne - with their hotels, dance halls and promenades,
in the past became places where the European aristocracy
frequently gathered.
National Parks
The countryside of the Czech Republic, its forests
and mountains, has always been home to settlers
who cultivated it. Despite this it is still possible
to find wonderful, untouched, wild places, unique
in respect of their scenery and geological formations.
