Czech Republic travel guide

Prague is undoubtedly the jewel in the Czech Republic’s crown. With its wonderful array of Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau and Cubist buildings, who could blame the millions of visitors who flock there each year?

The architectural gems of the capital are replicated across the country. In the lesser-visited eastern province of Moravia, for example, you’ll find Telc and Slavonice – the Czech Republic’s most perfectly-preserved medieval and renaissance towns.

The Czech Republic’s charms are not confined to its urban areas. From gentle strolls to serious hikes, ramblers have plenty of options since the Czech Republic has over 600 protected natural areas with countless well-marked trails, many of which take in dramatic castles and attractive wooden churches. And after a hard day’s walk you’re never far away from a refreshing Czech beer.

Wanderlust Recommends

  1. Cycle the “Greenways” between Prague and Vienna – a 430km network of wooded trails between the two capitals.
  2. Take a boat trip down the Vltava to the Unesco-listed, pretty, medieval town of Cesky Krumlov.   
  3. Admire the renaissance splendour of Telc’s arcaded main square.
  4. Discover sandstone rock cities and ruined castles in the Cesky Raj region – just a half-hour train ride from Prague.
  5. Explore dramatic caves and canyons of the Moravian Karst area (Moravsky Kras).
  6. Stroll through Karlik valley, where you can marvel at Karlstejn castle’s fairytale turrets away from the crowds.
  7. Take in the perfectly-preserved wooden Churches in Moravia’s forests.

Wanderlust tips

It would be criminal to come to the Czech Republic and not visit Prazsky hrad – Prague’s magnificent castle. But you wont be the only one wanting to visit. To see the castle complex minus the crowds, head there at the end of the day.

Although you wont be allowed inside the buildings after 6pm, the grounds stay open until 11pm and are at their most atmospheric when lit-up at night.
