CZECH REPUBLIC

CENTRAL EUROPE'S TREASURE

I didn’t know much about the Czech Republic until I arrived, but it didn’t take long to realise it was one of my favourite countries – and not just because of the cheap beer!

Michael Turtle – TIME TRAVEL TURTLE

There was a time, not too long ago, when the Czech Republic was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. This is the period that defines what you find in the country these days.Forget the Soviet period – it hardly rates a mention these days. This country is all about opulent European palaces, dramatic castles, and carefully-landscaped gardens.

But aside from the cities, there’s also huge national parks, small towns, and rural landscapes that are all pretty incredible.

Most travellers these days stop for a few days in Prague and then move on. But I can promise that if you give yourself some time to discover more of the Czech Republic, you won’t be disappointed.

CZECH WORLD HERITAGE >> SEE ALL THE UNESCO SITES <<

There are 12 World Heritage Sites in the Czech Republic and they offer a fascinating trip through the history of the country. You may have heard of some of them. but there are also some hidden gems in there. To help you plan your journey, here are my tips on which are the best to see.

FEATURED STORIES

The bear unnecessities

They say that Český Krumlov looks like it’s from a fairy tale. Well, we all know that fairy tales from the Middle Ages have a dark side to them.

The Church of Bones

One of the strangest sights you will ever see – this creepy church is decorated with the bones of thousands of dead bodies!

The good, the bud and the ugly

When you think of Budweiser, you probably think of the US beer. But in this Czech city is a beer with the same name that’s caused a century of lawsuits!
