Top Things To See

Top Things To See: • Admire magnificent gothic, baroque, romanesque, belle époque/art nouveau and cubist architecture in Prague’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed Old Town. Enjoy stunning cityscapes from Prague Castle, Old Town Hall and Petrin Tower. Watch the astronomical clock chime the hour (website: www.pis.cz).

• Fall in love with Cesky Krumlov (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and soak up views of the River Vltava from the ramparts of its enormous castle, which is perched dramatically on a ridge overlooking the medieval core (website: www.ckrumlov.cz).

• Get the creeps at Sedlec’s Ossuary (also known as the Kostnice Ossuary). This stunning collection of carved human bones are the remains of around 40,000 people, and have been crafted into chandeliers, coats of arms and statues (website: www.kostnice.cz).

• Follow in the footsteps of 007 and visit the attractive spa town of Karlovy Vary, which somewhat bizarrely masqueraded as Montenegro in the Casino Royale Bond film. Admire the baroque and gothic architecture that dominates the historic centre (website: www.karlovyvary.cz).

• Visit what is arguably the Czech Republic’s most attractive castle, Karlstejn. This gothic fortification dates back to the 14th century. Its dramatic hillside location, Disney-esque appearance and proximity to Prague make it one of the country’s premier attractions (website: www.hradkarlstejn.cz).

• Discover the historic silver mining town of Kutna Hora with the dominating gothic cathedral of sv Barbora (St Barbara), which is another UNESCO World Heritage Site (website: www.kutnahora.cz).

• Learn the secrets of the Budweiser Budvar brewery in Ceske Budejovice (Budweis), and sample the amber nectar on a brewery tour (website: www.budvar.cz). Take in the medieval architecture and explore one of Europe’s largest town squares.

•Visit the pretty churches of the country’s second city, Brno. The Moravian capital dates from the 13th century and also boasts the fine Moravian Museum and the gothic Špilberk Castle (website: www.brno.cz).

• Learn about a darker period in Czech history at Terezin. The isolation cells, cramped living quarters, cemetery and crematorium bring the horrors of this former concentration camp to life.

• Visit Telc,one of the most perfect examples of Renaissance towns in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The town was rebuilt after the fire of 1530; medieval arcades surround the town square with its gabled and pedimented houses.

• Admire the eclectic architecture of Plzen; visit its Brewery Museum and the first-rate Západoceské Galérie (one of the best outside Prague). Take a guided tour of the Plzensky Prazdroj brewery (website: www.prazdroj.cz) and see how the world-famous Pilsner beer is made.

• Visit some of the Czech Republic’s other fairytale castles including Bitov, Bouzov, Český Šternberk, Krivoklat, Konopiste, Loket and Pernštejn.

• Check out the valuable art collection in the Archiepiscopal Chateau in Kromeriz (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and stroll through its lovely Flower and Chateau gardens. Admire the well-preserved baroque core itself (website: www.azz.cz).

• Visit the attractive university town of Olomouc, noted for its parks, baroque churches, sculptures and fountains (website: www.olomoucko.cz). The surrounding Haná region is strongly agricultural, with many villages holding attractive harvest festivals in late September.
