A fairytale land of castles, colourful architecture,
hot springs, mountains, and beautiful country vistas,
the Czech Republic is an amazing place to explore.
The medieval capital city of Prague has retained
an old world charm while at the same time blossoming
into a trendy, cultural mecca for visitors and Czechs
alike. The country is divided between the regions
of Moravia and Bohemia which both contain
numerous castles, walled cities, and rolling hills
and mountains. Hikers and climbers will be drawn to
the Krkonese Mountains while those seeking
a spa retreat can find natural springs in towns near
the German border.
A country rich in history, with miles of untouched
coastline, dramatic mountains, and bursting with a
unique culture, you may wonder just why you have not
yet been to Poland. Krakow will impress
you with its preserved architecture and beautiful
market square, whilst hiking and skiing are readily
available in the looming Tatra Mountains.
The pure, natural beauty of Slovakia, combined
with its medieval towns and friendly culture, make
for a rewarding stop. The sharp peaks of the Tatras
that rise above the hills and lakes provide beautiful
vistas and outdoor adventure. The quiet villages that
stretch into the countryside welcome visitors with
interesting architecture and traditional folk culture.
Now new members of the European Union, there has
never been a more exciting time to visit Eastern Europe.
