Forget the Crown Jewels; the real treasures of Central Bohemia are its royal towns!
The title "Royal Town", which entailed considerable privileges and special rights, was granted to selected towns by the sovereign himself. From brewing beer to the mining of precious metals, royal towns found plenty of ways to prosper by virtue of their title. Admire the amazing mediaeval architecture of Kutná Hora, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, wander the paved little streets of Mělník above the confluence of the country’s two biggest rivers, or immerse yourself in the ambience of a spa town in Poděbrady… Take home some truly royal memories from your holiday in Central Bohemia!
