Holidays To Czech Republic
Situated in Central Europe, the Czech Republic is a small country that's big on historical sites, natural scenery and bustling cities.
First inhabited by Celtic tribes, through the centuries this land has been influenced by different cultures from all over the continent. Today, the country draws visitors from the world over, but still holds onto its diverse and time-honoured traditions. Get ready to "Czech" yourself before you wreck yourself with a Czech Republic holiday for the ages.
Things to Do in the Czech Republic
The regions of Bohemia and Moravia make up the bulk of the country, and to see it all in one trip, make sure to book one of Wotif’s Czech Republic car hire options. Central Bohemia, where you'll find the country's capital of Prague, is always a good place to start. In Prague, hop across the Charles Bridge, an iconic structure that dates back to the 14th century, and check out the Prague Astronomical Clock, a medieval timepiece that's one of the oldest of its kind in the world.
Of course, there's much to do outside Prague, including a tour of the 13th century Spilberk Castle in the city of Brno, viewing the Holy Trinity Column in Olomouc and chilling out (or rather, warming up) at the spas in Luhacovice. In Cesky Krumlov, you'll find famous Baroque structures like the Cesky Krumlov Castle, which is a real beaut. The Macocha Abyss, a 138-m deep gorge that's not for the faint of heart, is another common stop for those on Czech Republic holidays just don't look down for too long.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
The amazing shopping is a great reason to look for cheap Czech Republic holiday packages—you’ll have more cash for souvenirs! From trendy jeans to Bohemian crystal to handmade jewellery, there's something for everyone here. At stores near the Old Town Square in Prague, you can find antique furnishings, photography prints and various versions of works by hometown hero Franz Kafka. In Telc, you'll find a nice collection of souvenirs associated with the Renaissance era.
When walking these old-world streets works up an appetite, it’s time to get your food on. The locals here enjoy a diverse range of cuisine that includes everything from potato soup and knodel (Czech dumplings) to roast duck and pork. In Brno, a bunch of eating halls are clustered around Cabbage Market (where you can also purchase more than just cabbage). In the city of Opava, near the historic centre, great pizza awaits. Wherever you dine, be careful—you don’t want to fall into a food coma before the nightlife starts!
Pilsen, a city famous for its namesake beer and sparkling wine, has a top-notch party scene, especially just north of the city centre. If you're up for a real rager, Czech Republic packages in Prague should also be on the list its pubs, clubs and lounges rival those in any other rave-happy European city.
