GOLDEN PRAGUE
Prague the magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church
domes, whose image has been mirrored in the surface of the Vltava river for
more than ten centuries. Prague is also a modern European metropolis full of
energy, music, and art. It's a city of contrasts: Serene green isles in the
river and peaceful parks draping the city's seven hills are just steps away
from the architectural treasures and bustling street life of the city center.
It's a place where different architectural styles stand cheek by jowl, creating
an atmosphere that's both intimate and romantic, and quite impossible to forget
once you visit.
SPA TOWNS
There are numerous mineral springs on the Czech territory which have been used
for medicinal purposes since the early 15th century. Located in picturesque
natural landscapes, Czech spa towns are attractive for both their urbanistic
layout and their unique spa architecture. Some spa houses even boast elaborate
original furnishings.
THE MAGIC OF CASTLES AND CHATEAUX
The Czech lands boast an extraordinarily high number of cultural monuments.
Over 2,000 preserved castles and chateaux represent an important part of the
national cultural heritage, both in terms of their number and in terms of their
historical and artistic value; their significance transcends national borders,
and more than a few of these structures are important even in the global
cultural context.
RELEGIOUS SITES
Religious sites and places of pilgrimage are a great part of architectural
heritage of the Czech Republic. Although most of the churches, monasteries,
chapels and pilgrimage places are Roman-Catholic, there also are many Jewish
and Orthodox Christian sights. Religious architecture has gone through more
than a thousand years' development.
ACTIVE HOLIDAYS
The Czech Republic is an ideal country for active holiday, where you can relax
as well as improve your physical condition. In case you decide for relaxation,
you have a choice of various wellness offers. Lovers of “adrenaline” sports
will be pleased by wide possibilities of bungee jumping.
MICE TOURISM
The Czech Republic enjoys remarkable popularity among tourists from all over
the world. Thanks to its position in the very heart of the continent as well as
its rich cultural and natural heritage, it has become a sought-after
destination also among conference and meeting planners and incentive companies.
