The Czech Republic is a fascinating travel destination.But I find so many tourists have never ventured beyond Prague. Prague is a very beautiful city, and it does have a huge amount to keep you interested. But there are so many lovely towns and cities around the Czech Republic it seems a shame to miss them. You may need to allow a little more time. But distances are not great.
Two places I highly recommend are Cesky Krumlov, easily reached by train or bus. This gorgeous historic town can be a little inundated with tourists, but it somehow still retains it's charm. The cobbled streets, too narrow for vehicles, makes it a place to walk in comfort. The sherbert houses, castle, river, gardens and shops stocked with a range of Czech crafts, jewellery, and other wares......... all add to the old world ambiance.
North of Prague near the German border you will find Karlovy Vary.The Czech Republic's biggest spa town. This is another very different experience, and you could do it in a day trip from Prague if time is short. We happily filled three days here, with walks in the forests, and around the town sampling mineral waters at the taps.
This was topped off by an amazing experience seeing an outdoor opera performance at Loket Castle, about 12 kilometres away.
