Discover 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.

Visitors who are able to tear themselves away from captivating Prague are treated to the lesser-explored wonders of the Czech Republic’s natural beauty and sleepy villages. From the storybook artists’ community of Český Krumlov, nestled along the River Vltava and dripping with charm, to the well-preserved farmhouses of Holasovice and redolent forests of Sumava National Park, there’s no shortage of beauty 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.

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. Samples these staples of the brewing world and check out the country’s booming craft beer scene for local specialities.

Architectural History

The Czech Republic is home to stunning examples of architecture from throughout the ages. From 14th century gothic castles, bridges, and churches to the baroque palaces of the Habsburg Empire, the Art Nouveau and neo-historical styles of the 19th century, and the cubist and functionalist architecture of the 20th century, visitors can explore history through these diverse styles.
