From Prague’s cobblestoned Old Town, with its intricately-designed Astronomical Clock, to the gorgeous vistas of the Moravian landscape, we’ll reveal the Czech Republic’s much-loved gems, as well as its hidden treasures.
Lose yourself in Prague's myriad of twisting lanes – you’re bound to find something that will surprise and enlighten in equal measures. Take a look around the gothic masterpiece, St. Vitus Cathedral, which, in times gone by, oversaw the coronation of Czech kings and queens. Take a cruise on the River Vltatva from where you’ll view the spectacular sights of the city, including the magnificent 14th century Charles Bridge. Or watch a traditional glass-blower at work.
After decades in the iron grip of the Soviet Union, Prague has emerged as a vibrant Western city, as diverse a metropolis as you could hope to find in Europe. The city's mediaeval nucleus remains unscathed but new buildings have taken their place alongside the Baroque, the Gothic and the Art-Nouveau. The Dancing House, built in the 1990s, is one example: a representation of Fred and Ginger fashioned in metal, concrete and glass. And then there’s the Žižkov Television Tower, a construction finished 20 years ago that reaches high into the heavens.
On your way to Prague you’ll pass Plzeň, a city famous for its breweries and in particular, Pilsner beer. Leaving Prague, and moving south west, you’ll experience the spectacular landscape of the Moravian Karst, renowned for its graceful rolling hills, remarkable valleys and unusual geological features. And then there’s Brno, an attractive red-brick city, only six miles from the setting of the Battle of Austerlitz – where Napoleon based his plan of operations.
