Architecture

Step into the world of modern architecture in Czechia! From the futuristic curves of the Masaryčka project by Zaha Hadid and the playful lines of the Dancing House by Frank Gehry to towering city spires, revitalised industrial sites, and the Functionalist masterpiece Villa Tugendhat by Mies van der Rohe, Czechia is a destination for design lovers and architecture enthusiasts alike.

Feel Free to Snap: Modern Gems in Czechia

Discover the modern and dynamic architecture of Czechia, where contemporary design blends with rich cultural and historical heritage. From world-famous contemporary icons such as the Dancing House in Prague or “Masaryčka” by the renowned architect Zaha Hadid, through award-winning Functionalist and postmodern gems, to creative conversions of former factories, mills, and industrial sites into galleries, design cafés, and cultural centres, such as the EPO1 Gallery in Trutnov. Czechia is a paradise for architecture lovers, and modern architecture will also delight culture enthusiasts, for example on a trip to the Lázně Karlovy Vary, where you can enjoy a musical experience in the Imperial Spa, nicknamed the Red Crab. Do not miss the award-winning renovation of the extensive Helfštýn Castle or the unique glass headquarters of the world-famous glassmaking company Lasvit in Nový Bor.

Wine tourism, enhanced by modern architecture, adds another dimension to enjoying walks through vineyards. Modern restaurants and bistros are not left behind either. At many wineries in Czechia, you can stay overnight (even in wine barrels), enjoy an excellent lunch or dinner, taste local specialities, and during the season experience harvest celebrations and a vibrant cultural programme right among the vineyards.

During your journey, you will also discover monumental castles, châteaux, and UNESCO-listed sites that complete the unique context of the Czech landscape and architecture. A major advantage is easy accessibility: many exceptional places can be reached comfortably by train or by bike. Many castles and châteaux also offer local breweries, excellent restaurants – recognised in guides such as MICHELIN or Gault&Millau– as well as wellness experiences.

OUR TIP FOR A TRIP: Take a journey back in time to the wine region of South Moravia, where the unique Archeopark Pavlov awaits. This modern museum, set within the picturesque Pálava landscape, stands directly on the site of one of the most important Palaeolithic archaeological locations in Europe. In its unique underground exhibition, you will discover the world of mammoth hunters. Ideal for a family trip!
