The annual Wanderlust Readers’ Awards, now in their 23rd year, celebrate the world’s most inspiring destinations, travel experiences, and tourism brands. Voted for by thousands of passionate travellers, the awards represent the trusted voice of Wanderlust’s global readership, renowned for seeking authentic, responsible, and meaningful travel experiences.
Czechia’s top-ten placement reflects its growing appeal among travellers who value culture, history, and sustainability in equal measure. From the storybook streets of Prague and Český Krumlov to the spa towns of Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně, and the natural beauty of Bohemian Switzerland National Park, the country continues to enchant visitors with its blend of heritage, charm, and accessibility.
“We’re thrilled to see Czechia recognised by the Wanderlust community,” said [insert spokesperson if desired]. “This award highlights the country’s success in balancing cultural preservation, innovation, and sustainable tourism.”
The recognition comes as Czechia continues to expand its tourism offerings, investing in cultural events, regional attractions, and eco-friendly travel initiatives that encourage visitors to explore beyond the capital and discover the country’s lesser-known treasures.
As Wanderlust celebrates authentic, meaningful, and responsible travel, Czechia’s inclusion among Europe’s top ten destinations reaffirms its standing as a country that captures the imagination — and hearts — of travellers around the world.
CzechTourism has placed a strong emphasis on sustainability and regional tourism development, encouraging visitors to explore beyond Prague and discover the country’s hidden gems — from UNESCO-listed heritage sites and cycling trails to emerging culinary destinations and cultural festivals.
The Wanderlust Readers’ Travel Awards 2025 ceremony took place in London, recognising excellence across a range of categories and destinations worldwide. This year’s event also saw the unveiling of Wanderlust’s new tagline: “Authentic, meaningful, responsible travel since 1993.”
