Things To Do In Czechia

Nestled in the heart of Europe, the Czech Republic is a treasure trove of experiences waiting to be uncovered. From the cobblestone streets of Prague to the verdant Bohemian countryside, this country offers a kaleidoscope of sights, tastes, and adventures.

Prague, the capital city, is a living fairy tale. Its historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a labyrinth of narrow alleys and grand squares. Wander through the iconic Charles Bridge, with its statues and sweeping views of the Vltava River. Explore the Prague Castle, a symbol of Czech history, and don’t forget to make a wish at the Astronomical Clock.

Escape the urban hustle to the Bohemian Paradise (Český ráj). Here, whimsical rock formations, dense forests, and charming villages await. Explore Prachov Rocks, a wonderland of sandstone pillars, or hike the Jizera Mountains for a breath of fresh air.

Immerse yourself in Czech traditions by attending local festivals. Witness Easter markets, Christmas markets, and the lively Masopust carnival.

In the Czech Republic, every step is a journey through history, culture, and natural beauty. Let this captivating country surprise and delight you at every turn.

  • Stroll the Streers of Prague's Old Town

    With its stunning UNESCO World Heritage listed historic centre, Prague might just be the most beautiful city in the world. Known as the ‘City of a Hundred Spires’, it’s a fairytale landscape of Gothic cathedrals and Baroque buildings set magnificently around the banks of the Vltava River. Check out the famed Prague Astronomical Clock, admire the views from beautiful Charles Bridge then pick a cafe on the beautiful Old Town Square and settle in to sink a few of the country’s famed pilsners.

  • Visit the Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Pilsen

    This world famous beer was the first ever pilsner, making it perhaps the most influential brew in the world. It hails from the town of Pilsen in western Bohemia, and has been enthusiastically consumed across the globe since its invention in 1842, spawning countless imitators along the way. Learn about its history and unique production methods with a tour of the brewery, then settle down to sample some of its thirst-quenching wares – a Czech Republic travel must!

  • Step Back in Time at Prague Castle

    Perched atop a hill overlooking the Vltava River, this spectacular castle complex is perhaps the most popular of Prague attractions. It’s also the largest castle complex in the world, and dates back to the 9th century. Here you’ll find some excellent museums and many wonderful buildings, including the magnificent Gothic St. Vitus Cathedral, whose 96m spire dominates the city skyline.

  • Hit the Slopes at Špindlerův Mlýn

    Ok, so the name might be virtually unpronounceable, but don’t let that put you off: Špindlerův Mlýn is the country’s largest and most popular resort. Set amidst the beautiful Krkonoše Mountains, it’s home to 25km of excellent runs and 3 terrain parks, as well as a wealth of scenic hiking trails to please summer visitors.

  • Take in the Rejuvenating Waters at Karlovy Vary

    Clustered tightly along the narrow and winding Teplá River gorge, this picture-postcard spa town is one of the prettiest in the Czech Republic. It’s located in western Bohemia and is famed for its multitude of hot springs, as well the rejuvenating effects of its waters. Wander its scenic streets, enjoy a drink at a riverside café or go in on one of the famed Karlovy Vary wellness treatments.
