Must-See Places in the Czech Republic!
You can plan your entire trip through the Czech republic but there are some places you should definitely include. For example,
Prague – the capital and the largest city in the Czech Republic, ranking as one of
the most popular cities with tourists in the world. Or
Brno with famous cafés and the timeless Functionalist
Villa Tugendhat;
Kutná Hora with an authentic medieval silver mine, or
Český Krumlov with a historical centre filled with old world ambience! Czech republic has numerous
castles and chateaux worth visiting. The
Karlštejn Castle near Prague used to be the emperor’s favourite residence; the
Hluboká nad Vltavou Chateau will carry you away into a dreamland with its charm; and the
Lednice Valtice area does not only offer two majestic chateaux, but an entire landscape with small manor houses and hidden nooks!
