INFORMATION ABOUT CZECH REPUBLIC
The Czech Republic – a Jewel in the Heart of Europe Those who would like to get acquainted with one of the most beautiful countries in Europe should not miss the Czech Republic – a beautiful country situated in the very heart of Europe.
The number of foreign visitors to the Czech Republic has been increasing sharply over the last several years. Many come back after their first visit, to enjoy together with others all that the Czech Republic has to offer. The main advantage of the Czech Republic is the wealth, diversity and accessibility of cultural, historical and natural places of interest, all concentrated in a relatively small space that boast very serviceable standards of accommodation and dining facilities.
Prague is among the most frequently visited cities in the world. Places of interest for tourists are not, however, concentrated just there - every part of Bohemia and Moravia has something to offer to its visitors. For some, it is old cathedrals and picturesque corners of historical towns, others value a silent mountain valley or the mysterious atmosphere of romantic ruins and ancient castles. The social life is rich as well - not just in Prague and other larger cities, but also in Bohemian and Moravian spas.
