Think of the Czech Republic and you probably think of Prague: with its UNESCO World Heritage Site old town, and sights such as the Astronomical Clock, the Charles Bridge, and the largest castle in the world, it’s one of the most visited cities in Europe.
The Czech Republic also has large Gothic castles such as Karlstejn, nature reserves such as Rejviz – with its glacial lakes and huge peat bog – and places you can go hiking and cross-country skiing in the heavily forested Sumava mountains.
We’ve written a lot about the Czech Republic, and the articles below cover topics like escaping the tourists and drinking on the cheap in Prague, where to teach English as a foreign language, which hostels are best for partying, and even where you can go to enjoy a traditional beer bath.
