For a small country, the Czech Republic packs a punch.
Having only been a country since 1993 following the collapse of the Soviet Union, this landlocked haven put Central Europe on the map, not least for its vibrant and historically significant capital, Prague.
Full of character, cathedrals and Cubism, Prague has become one of Europe’s most visited cities, offering travellers a feast of architecture, art, nightlife.
The Old Town Square is a must visit, as well as the nearby Jewish Ghetto, which can be explored on a fascinating walking tour. Monumental and intriguing, Prague Castle rests over the city, creating a stark contrast between the old world and the new.
Beyond the capital, the Czech Republic flourishes with historic villages and cities that are well worth visiting, as well as experiences from horse riding and mountain climbing to National Parks, caves, gardens and world famous spas scattered across the country.
With a diversity that can hardly be matched, the Czech Republic showcases the best of Central Europe in its most compact – and charming – form.
