]]>Part of the Saxon-Bohemian Switzerland region, Bohemian Switzerland is a national park that features amazing spots for rock climbing, an abundance of hiking trails, fast streams for kayaking, and much more. You will also have an opportunity to check out Pravčická brána, which is the largest sandstone arch in Europe.
Kutná Hora is primarily worth visiting due to its Sedlec Ossuary. Located beneath the Cemetery Church of All Saints, the ossuary contains the bones and skeletons of between 40,000 and 70,000 people, with many being arranged in the form of decoration. While there, you can also explore the archeological ruins of Castle Sion or pay a visit to Vrchlickeho waterfalls.
Located near the city of Brno, Moravian Karst is a region that features 1,100 caves and gorges, with most of them being available for exploring. Punkva Caves are a particularly popular cave system among tourists and adventurers due to its 455-foot-deep Macocha Abyss sinkhole and passages decorated with stalactites and stalagmites.

]]>Tucked beneath the Prague Castle is Mala Strana or the small quarter. Besides Petrin park and St. Nicholas Church, the streets are lined with historic buildings, shops, and restaurants. The quaint atmosphere makes it a lovely place to stay, but note that as it’s at the heart of the city, prices can be steep.
Just minutes from Old Town by foot, Nove Mesto, or New Town is always buzzing with its many clubs, shops, and restaurants. Sleeping and dining options are less touristy than in neighboring Old Town, which makes prices friendlier too.
Vinohrady is a trendy residential area rich in pretty parks, beer gardens, cafes, and lovely architecture. Its charm and close proximity to the center make it the residence of choice for many ex-pats.
A bit off the beaten path, Karlin district is located in Prague 8, but don’t let that deter you. Rucked between the Vltava River and Vítkov Hill, this cute neighborhood is home to locals’ favorite cafes, restaurants, and bars and will give you a glimpse into authentic Prague life.

]]>Budapest is a common tourist destination for young people as it has a great party scene and isn’t very expensive. It’s also got plenty of awesome religious architecture, such as St. Stephen’s Basilica. This church, with its iconic dome, is over 100 years old. It’s still used today for Roman Catholic worship, but it’s also a common spot for tourists.
This architectural mammoth is truly a sight to behold. With its soaring gold-encrusted domes and beautifully wrought facade, it’s one of the loveliest things you’ll see on your trip. It’s now a Russian-Orthodox church, so you can attend a service there if you wish. In the past, it functioned as a movie theatre and a naval museum as well.
This church is truly a relic of history, with construction beginning in the 13th century. The structure wasn’t completed until the 19th century, and frescoes from medieval times along with old gothic architecture are still on display. You don’t want to miss this church, as it’s also a world heritage site to boot.

]]>Spring and early fall are the best times to visit because the weather is milder with highs ranges in the mid-50s to the upper 60s, and it’s not too crowded. The summer months have warmer weather, but they’re super touristy. If you don’t mind cold weather and snow, the Christmas season is a great time to visit Prague.
The best way to get around Prague is by foot because you’ll get a chance to explore the city and most of the attractions are within walking distance from each other. Public transportation which includes buses, trams, and subways, is another great way to get around.
In the middle of Prague’s Old Town, Four Seasons Hotel Prague is a prime location, within a one-mile radius of the top attractions including the Charles Bridge, Old Town Square, and Prague Castle. The 5-star hotel has five bars and restaurants to choose between, a fitness center, and an on-site spa.
Located in the central Mala Strana neighborhood, this 5-star hotel, which is housed in a 14th-century monastery, is not far from the main attractions. To get to them you’ll just have to cross the Charles Bridge. There are three dining options—one of which has a Michelin Star—a spa, and a fitness center that has personal trainers and yoga classes.
This 5-star hotel in the Old Town is housed in a baroque-style building from the 16th century is not far from the city’s main attractions, restaurants, and shops. Highlights of the hotel are the romantic decor and the spa which has Indonesian-inspired treatments.
The square hasn’t changed much since its establishment in the 12th century and its architecture and historic attractions like the Old Town Hall which has the Prague Astronomical Clock, the Church of St. Nicholas, and the Church of Our Lady before Týn shouldn’t be missed while in the city.
This bridge which dates back to 1357 connects the Old Town and Lesser Town and the 30 saint statues that line the bride to honor saints.
The largest coherent castle in the world, the Prague Castle is the office of the Czech president and it’s a buzzing tourist destination. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the castle has been around for over a thousand years and there are tons of architectural styles featured on the grounds. Top attractions include St. Vitus Cathedral, the Royal Palace, St. George’s Basilica, and the Golden Lane.
One of the most famous dishes in Prague, this beef eye fillet seasoned with a sweet sauce and cooked in vegetables shouldn’t be missed. It’s usually served with boiled bread dumplings, cream, and a slice of lemon.
These pancakes are similar to crepes and they’re a dessert that’s topped with sweet cheese, whipped cream, nuts, ice cream, fruits, or jams. There’s also a savory version which has spinach, cheese, and meat.
Dumplings both sweet and savory are super popular in Prague, and Ovocné Knedlíky are sweet versions made with dough and cheese, filled with fruit, and served with melted butter, sugar, and cheese.

]]>The award-winning cocktail lounge is named after Ernest Hemingway, who was almost as famous for his writing as his drinking. The bar’s furnished with Cuban-inspired decor with wood furnishings and leather seats. There are over 200 kinds of rums as well as a cocktail list with lots of absinthe and champagne.
In the afternoons and evenings this bar has table service and at night it turns into a DJ-packed party from Thursday to Saturday. What once was a 24-hour gambling bar has been converted into a design-led space with broad windows, distressed walls, and high ceilings.
This pub has hosted conversations between presidents, poets, and influential Czechs, and while there, you’ll get a taste of Prague’s old-school drinking culture. Part of the pub’s charm is its wooden benches and arched ceilings.
Don’t expect to find unique drinks or modern decor at this bar named after iconic writer Charles Bukowski, which has classic, reasonably priced cocktails. Make sure you eat before you get to the bar as there’s no food on the menu.
If wine is more your thing, make sure you visit Vinograf which offers 700 wines. You’ll be able to enjoy wine by the glass or bottle paired with the finest Czech and international cuisine.

Highlights of Wieliczka include a chapel that has been carved into the stone and salt underground and a health spa where you can get all kinds of natural treatments.
To the south of Krakow on the border with Slovakia are the Tatra Mountains, the country’s highest peaks and a perfect place to explore nature. Here, you’ll find hiking, charming small mountain towns, and some of the most beautiful sights of the Polish countryside that you can imagine.
Only a two and a half hour train ride separates you from the Czech city of Ostrava if you’re in Krakow, making it a perfect opportunity to check out another country. A charming old town and centuries-old cathedrals await you in this gorgeous small city located at the confluence of four rivers.
