The Czech Republic is a very popular holiday destination with a high percentage of visitors heading for Prague on a city break. However a Czech Republic holiday has much more to offer tourists.
Magnificent architecture is not only found in Prague but in other cities such as Domazlice in Bohemia and Telc in Moravia. There are numerous charming villages which appear almost untouched by the modern world. The landscape is stunning and its topography lends itself to active holidays with hiking, mountain biking, skiing, canoeing and rafting.
There are also over seventy golf courses. The Czech Republic is famous for its spas and after an energetic day in the mountains or city sightseeing a spa treatment revitalises the body and soothes the mind.
Lying in Central Europe, the Czech Republic became an independent state in 1993 when Czechoslovakia was divided in two. With many castles, palaces, churches and historic monuments throughout the country, the Czech Republic is a picturesque and interesting country. The capital is Prague, a wonderful old city that largely escaped the ravages of the Second World War.
Most of the country is hilly or mountainous making it ideal for skiing and hiking.
