Czech Republic
The Czech Republic preserved its medieval heart through the twentieth century's upheavals, leaving Prague as one of Europe's most intact Gothic and Baroque cities — a fairy-tale skyline of spires, a castle above the Vltava, and beer cheaper than water.

What to Do in Czech Republic
Iconic activities and unmissable experiences across all destinations
Charles Bridge at Dawn
Cross the 14th-century bridge at 6am when the 30 Baroque saints are bathed in mist and the castle glows above. The most romantic 30 minutes in Central Europe.
Prague Castle Complex
The world's largest ancient castle — the Cathedral, Golden Lane, and the panoramic view over Prague's red rooftops. Budget a full morning.
Czech Beer Culture
Czech Republic consumes more beer per capita than any country. A half-litre of excellent Czech pilsner costs €1–2 in a local pub. U Fleků has been brewing since 1499.
