View All Czech Republic ToursDiscover the Czech Republic
From one of Europe’s most popular city destinations to lesser-known rural delights, the Czech Republic offers endless opportunities for discovery.
With an incredibly well-preserved medieval core featuring stunning Gothic architecture, Prague is Old World charm at its finest. Majestic spires rise up to meet the sky and create a stunning skyline best appreciated from such memorable vantage points as the 14th-century Charles Bridge and Prague Castle on its hilltop perch. Foodies will delight in the city’s burgeoning gourmet scene, and music and theater lovers will find no shortage of options for a night out.
On VBT’s Czech Republic bike tour, you’ll cycle among the lesser-explored Lednice-Valtice cultural landscape, lush wine roads, historic bike trails in pine-scented forests, and sleepy villages. From the pastel-hued town square of Telč and the vinicultural town of Mikulov to the glass-making center of Svĕtlá nad Sazavou, there’s no shortage of beauty and long-cherished traditions in the rural corners of this enthralling country.
The Czech Republic is the birthplace of internationally recognized beer brands like Urquell and Budvar, but these famous names are facing serious competition from a wave of regional microbreweries that are returning to the traditional brewing roots of the region and producing some of the world’s best beers. Connoisseurs of craft brewing will be thrilled with the seemingly endless offerings on tap at local Czech pubs throughout the country.

Country Highlights
- Ride the bucolic vistas of the Znojmo wine region, called the “Czech Tuscany.”
- Explore the Baroque splendors of the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape and the town of Telč.
- Cycle the scenic and culture-rich Iron Curtain Trail and Moravian Wine Road.
- Walk across the 14th-century Charles Bridge in Prague at sunset.

Folklore & Tradition
Throughout the summer season, communities celebrate folkloric traditions that date back centuries. Locals don traditional garb and put on performances showcasing songs and dances that have been passed down through the generations. Locals and tourists alike flock to these festivals to eat, drink, and celebrate the Czech Republic’s living history.

Brewing Heritage
Czech food may be delicious, but it’s beer that the country is really known for. Plzeň, or Pilsen, is the birthplace of Pilsner beer and home to the world famous Pilsner Urquell. České Budějovice was historically known by its German name, Budweis, and is responsible for the original Budweiser beer. Sample these staples of the brewing world and check out the country’s booming craft beer scene for local specialties.

Architectural History
The Czech Republic is home to stunning historic buildings that span the ages. In Prague, 1,000 years of architecture straddle the Vltava River, from its Gothic and Baroque treasures of the Old Town and its ninth-century castle to the Art Nouveau gems of the city center. In South Moravia, the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is a mosaic of Baroque, Neoclassical, and neo-Gothic splendor.
