Guide de voyage du pays

Czech Republic enchants with Prague's fairy-tale beauty, medieval castle towns, Bohemian countryside, and exceptional beer culture. This Central European gem offers well-maintained roads through romantic landscapes.

Prague captivates with Charles Bridge's baroque statues, the astronomical clock on Old Town Square, and the magnificent Prague Castle complex—the world's largest ancient castle. The Lesser Town's cobblestones and Hradčany views complement the vibrant nightlife and excellent cuisine.

Český Krumlov, a UNESCO-listed jewel, presents a Renaissance castle overlooking a medieval town center wrapped by the Vltava River. The nearby Šumava forests provide hiking and cross-country skiing opportunities.

The Bohemian spa towns of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázně, and Františkovy Lázně showcase elegant colonnades and healing mineral springs—now UNESCO-listed as Great Spa Towns of Europe.

Kutná Hora features the macabre Sedlec Ossuary (Bone Church) decorated with 40,000 human skeletons, plus the Gothic St. Barbara's Church. Moravia's wine country around Mikulov offers castle-topped towns and excellent wines.

Czech cuisine satisfies with svíčková (marinated beef with cream sauce), vepřo-knedlo-zelo (pork, dumplings, sauerkraut), and trdelník pastries. The Czech Republic leads the world in beer consumption—pilsner originated in Plzeň.

Driving in Czech Republic is on the right with excellent road infrastructure. A highway vignette is required for motorways. An International Driving Permit is accepted. Roads are well-maintained year-round with efficient winter services.
