Discover the rich history, art and traditions of Czech Republic
The Czech Republic, located in the heart of Europe, is a land of ancient history, whose jewel is Prague, the 'City of a Hundred Needles'. The country is dotted with picturesque castles and palaces, perfectly preserved medieval towns and a culture deeply rooted in music, literature and, above all, beer.
Avoid the crowds and experience the true magic of Prague by walking across the Charles Bridge at sunrise. Watching the first light of day illuminate the baroque statues and silhouette of Prague Castle is an ethereal and unforgettable experience.
More than a castle, it is a citadel that spans centuries of history. Explore the majestic St. Vitus Cathedral, stroll through the charming Alley of Gold, visit the Old Royal Palace and admire the views of the city from its walls. You will need several hours to absorb its greatness.
Beer ('pivo') is the national drink and a religion. Enter a 'hospoda' (pub/tavern), often a simple and unpretentious establishment, and order a 'půllitr' (half a liter) of Pilsner Urquell or a local beer. It's the best way to immerse yourself in Czech culture and socialize.
This small, World Heritage-listed town in South Bohemia is a gem. Its old town is surrounded by a bend of the Vltava River and dominated by an impressive castle. Walking through its streets is like entering a medieval movie set.
The Sedlec Ossuary is a unique and macabre place. This small chapel is decorated with the bones of more than 40,000 people, artistically arranged to form lamps, coats of arms and garlands. It is a somber reflection on life and death that leaves no one indifferent.
Stroll through the elegant colonnades of this famous spa city and taste the hot springs from its different sources. Each one has a different temperature and mineral content. Buy yourself a traditional porcelain mug ('lázeňský pohárek') to drink while you explore the city.

View full guideThe Czech Republic belongs to the EU but does not use the Euro. The official currency is the Czech Crown (CZK). It is advisable to avoid exchange offices in very touristy areas (airport, Old Town Square) and look for 'Kantor' with a 0% commission and clear exchange rates. Payment by card is very widespread.
Prague's transportation system (metro, tram and bus) is excellent, efficient and runs 24 hours a day. Tickets are purchased by time (30 min, 90 min, etc.) and must be validated at the machines upon entry. The 24 or 72 hour passes are very convenient.
The official language is Czech. In Prague and other tourist areas, many people, especially young people, speak English. Outside of these cores, it can be more difficult. Learning some basic words like 'Dobrý den' (Hello/Good morning) and 'Děkuji' (Thank you) will be greatly appreciated.
