The Czech Republic has more than 2,000 castles and chateaus, the largest concentration per square mile in Europe.
Towering above the city’s capital is the Prague Castle— the world’s largest, built 1,000 years ago. Aside from its impressive history and architecture, the Czech Republic is known for its peaceful scenery and lively cities.
Prague, the capital, is home to a 9th-century castle, preserved medieval Old Town and statue-lined Charles Bridge. esky Krumlov is a living gallery of Renaissance-era buildings housing restaurants and shops.
Come explore these beautiful medieval towns; drink beer at the Cesky Budejovice, home to Budweiser beer dating back to 1265; and take in the remarkable views from the glorious countryside!
