Karlštejn Castle
It is hardly surprising that tours to the Czech Republic are so popular. This is a unique country: it surprisingly combines developed tourism infrastructure with untouched nature, modern reality with an indescribable medieval atmosphere so much like a fairy tale.
Holidays in Czech Republic with Health Benefits
In this relatively small country there are about 1,300 nature reserves and many beautiful parks. You can climb the snow-capped Sudetes peaks, take a walk through vast forests, or swim in one of the many crystal-clear lakes. From contemplating natural beauty, you can easily move on to more active recreation – all conditions for this have been created in Czech Republic.
People also purchase tours to Czech Republic for the purpose of undergoing a health course at balneological resorts. The mineral and thermal springs located in Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně have received worldwide recognition. The miraculous healing properties of the local waters became known several centuries ago, and centuries-old traditions of healing combined with the latest methods of balneotherapy and modern equipment yield amazing results. A treatment course is individually designed for each holidaymaker, allowing a speedy recovery.
Sightseeing Tours of Czech Republic – the Charm of the Middle Ages
However, holidays in the Czech Republic are primarily a journey into the past, the medieval history of Europe. Almost all Czech cities, even quite small ones, are like open-air museums. More than 2,500 Renaissance castles have been preserved in the country, and many of them have been included in the list of world cultural heritage. Also, the program of most tours usually includes visits to ancient monasteries, churches, and palaces.
The routes of almost all tours to Czech Republic necessarily include a visit to its capital. Prague is among the most beautiful European cities. Almost all architectural styles are represented here: from gloomy Gothic and magnificent Baroque to original Art Nouveau and modern Cubism. And yet, the city is famous primarily for its cobblestone streets, labyrinths of ancient quarters, and many towers and spires.
It is worth definitely admiring the picturesque panorama of the city that opens from Petřín Hill, visiting St. Vitus Cathedral, walking across the oldest bridge in Europe, Charles Bridge, and seeing the Old-New Synagogue, built seven centuries ago. But if you want to see the real Prague, you should go deeper into the city, where its true atmosphere is preserved: narrow quiet streets, cozy cafés, and unhurried citizens.
