Highlights of Czech Republic |
Whether you are sampling a Budvar beer in Prague's Wenceslas Square or exploring
the Czech countryside, the Czech Republic is fast becoming one of the must see destinations of central Europe.
Below are just some of the Czech highlights submitted by you, our readers...
"Prague is a breathtaking city of contrasts, torn between the architectural beauty of the old town and the "grey" Eastern Block style suburbs. It is a fascinating city, with unusual cultural quirks, such as puppetry and puppet opera, and shops selling beautiful crystal chandeliers. The food varies, but the open air restaurants around Wenceslas Square and the Clock provide great value food, and fabulously reasonable cocktails. I recommend that everyone visiting Prague samples the local beer (Budweiser), as even though I hate beer, this stuff tastes out of this world! All in all, a highly recommended destination, but beware of pickpockets!"

"I visited Prague with my family last christmas. We went to see a carol service at the church, it was a beautiful setting and summed up the magic of Prague at christmas. Would recommend it to anyone wanting a interesting if cold city christmas break."

"Tyn Church is in a beautiful historical part of Prague, important to see if you have got the time. Prague is more than a cheap beer!"

"Prague is one of the best places I have visited. Although in February it was unbelievably cold! The old town was vibrant and grand simply beautiful. The old town is normally chocked full of stag dos... be warned if you are there on the weekend!"

It also reveals why Prague's citizens welcomed Mozart so warmly, and why his music continues to win Czech hearts today.
