For most, visiting Czech Republic offers a very relaxing experience. The pace of life in this country, particularly Prague, is significantly slower than in cities like Paris and London and as most of the main attractions are located centrally, it is easy to get to most on foot.

Top Places to Visit in Czech Republic
Prague
You can spend days flicking through the city’s historical pages, uncovering its myths and legends, and jaw-dropping views. If you aren’t on a group tour, free sightseeing walking tours through Prague’s cobbled streets are available to join from Old Town Square – are a brilliant way to discover the city’s gothic treasures, and its history, which stretches back a thousand years.
Your camera won’t stop flashing, as you capture attractions such as the Astronomical Clock, Tyn Church, Charles Bridge and Wenceslas Square. A stroll around the Jewish quarter and cemetery will only added to your knowledge – of how much devastation and turmoil was inflicted by the Nazis during World War 2.
Behold postcard pretty views from Prague’s surrounding hills. We ventured out of the hustle bustle, up to Letna Park, where you will be greeted with a picture-perfect vista of Prague’s bridges (selfie sticks at the ready!). The Castle district, which is mesmerising in itself, also provides exceptional scenes across the city.
A visit to Prague isn’t complete without sampling its beer – it’s recognised as being the finest in Europe. And won’t you discover … you might drink more of the frothy, golden nectar, than water! Be sure to try the Pilsner Urquell. One of the best places to sample the city’s home-brewed beverages is at the Strahov Monastic Brewery. Although the hill climb requires buns of steel, it was certainly worthwhile when we reached the top!
And it’d be rude to leave Prague without putting on your glad rags and attending the opera, darling! Sitting up with ‘the gods’ at the State Opera (not for the faint hearted!), celebrate an evening basking it its regal ambience, watching Mozart’s Cosi Fan Tutti. With tickets from £9 per person, it’s an affordable evening well spent.
