It’s called Bohemian Paradise and, in many ways, it is a paradise. Amongst the forest you find rock formations, castles, lakes and pubs.

Lednice-Valtice, Czech Republic

The stolen European palaces

The two magnificent palaces at Lednice and Valtice are surrounded by equally magnificent parklands… but have they been stolen?

Bone Church, Sedlec Ossuary, Kutná Hora, Czech Republic

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!

Kutna Hora, Czech Republic

The Czech Republic’s silver lining

This old silver mining city has a richness of sites to see. This church and cathedral are two of the most important.

Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk, Zelená hora, Czech Republic

The five star church

The Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk has a very special design for a man who is legendary in this part of Europe.

Litomyšl Castle, Czech Republic

Inside the castle at Litomyšl

The beautiful castle at Litomyšl dazzles from the outside and has a wonderful collection of Czech heritage inside.

Trebic World Heritage Site, Czech Republic

The ghetto and the church

The Czech city of Třebíč shows the worst of European policies but the best of humanity, with two religions side by side

The Holy Trinity Column, Olomouc, Czech Republic

Is it just a column?

It might sound strange to go all the way to Olomouc just to see a column – but it’s a special column. And it turns out the city is quite spectacular too!
