Czech Republic Holidays

The very heart of Central Europe, and one of its premier destinations, the Czech Republic is a haven for visitors and is full of variety and wonder. Undoubtedly, Prague attracts the most attention: a city that positively thrives with life and easily rivals Europe's other top cities. Nevertheless, beyond Prague, there are other equally mesmerising areas to be discovered, all exhibiting the fine mix of historical treasures and stunning scenery to be found in this intoxicating land.

Not until 1989 - when the curtains were drawn over Soviet Communist rule - did the rest of the world begin to get a taste of the pleasures to be had here. Buildings and architecture have remained intact for hundreds and hundreds of years; never once affected by the disasters of war or natural tragedy. Holidays in the Czech Republic can make you feel like you're in a magical fairy tale land. Trips to many of the villages and towns are like stepping through the past, back to medieval times - winding, cobbled streets, gothic churches, baroque architecture, and an incredible number of historic castles and chateaux.

Holidays in the Czech Republic are great value for money and the people here are the utmost in hospitality and friendliness. If you want to sample some of that famous Czech beer, then there is many a pub to be found as you meander through the many side streets. Prague is positively vibrant, while other magical areas waiting to be discovered include Moravia, Eesky Krumlov, Kutna Hora, Domazlice, Loket, Cheb, the spa towns of Karlovy Vary and Marianske Lazne and the Sumava Mountains.
