Fairy-tale Prague, storybook castles and Europe's finest beer. The Czech Republic is old-world magic without the old-world crowds.

The Czech Republic crowns the heart of Central Europe with fairy-tale Prague, its gothic spires, medieval bridge and astronomical clock intact through the centuries. Beyond the capital lie hilltop castles, spa towns and vineyard-draped Moravia.
It is also the spiritual home of beer, with a café-and-tavern culture made for slow, sociable evenings. A great-value 'dupe' for pricier Western capitals, it delivers old-world beauty and rich culture for less.
In 2026 the country rewards travellers who venture beyond Prague to castle-strewn Bohemia and the wine hills of Moravia, spreading the magic and easing the crowds. It is romantic, walkable and endlessly atmospheric.
