Czech Republic

European visitors often forget to explore the Czech Republic and Prague, its capital city. The Czech Republic, a country in transition, borders Germany, Poland, Austria, and the Slovak Republic. Visitors to Germany and Austria or Poland should plan on taking a side trip to the beautiful Czech Republic.

The Czech people love arts, literature, music, and culture. However, they also love their meat-based dumplings, coffee, and cakes. Visitors to the Czech Republic enjoy the Czech foods, music from its popular brass bands, and culture as well as finding the Czech Bohemian crystal, porcelain, lacework, garnets, and prints to collect.

Prague, its capital city, often is called the golden city because of its elegance and medieval facades. Like many European towns, Prague has a new town and an old town with churches and towers. In addition to the beautiful churches, museums, gardens, and public buildings, visitors can make a literary pilgrimage to Kafka's home.

When vacationing in the Czech Republic, visitors should plan trips around the rural areas. The Czech Republic is divided into two regions: Moravia, which are the lowlands, and Bohemia, in the north, which is surrounded by mountains, where they can find medieval towns in the south and breweries.
