Description
The fascinating Czech Republic borders Poland, Germany, Austria and Slovakia, and became the country it is today in 1993 after Czechoslovakia was dissolved to form Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
In the Czech Republic there are many spectacular castles and chateaux to discover within the historic regions of Bohemia to the west, Moravia to the east and Silesia in the north east.
The key tourist attraction in the Czech Republic is the beautiful and historic capital city of Prague, although the Krkonose Mountains are excellent of outdoor activities, and Karlstejn and Konopiste superb for castles.
The Czech Republic is well known for its puppetry and marionettes which date back thousands of years and there are a number of spectacular shops in the city of Prague selling the intricately detailed characters.
When eating out in the Czech Republic, meat dishes are very popular with pork, beef and chicken dishes but there are generally very few fish dishes on the menu.
