Prague
Prague is the capital and largest city in the Czech Republic, and the historical capital of Bohemia.
The city is filled with architecture that blows you away. Baroque palaces and Gothic cathedrals combine with Cubist and Art Nouveau buildings to create the unique feel of the city. Prague’s Dancing House is an ode to modern steel and glass architecture, while its 600-year-old astronomical clock is one of the most stunning structures in Old Town. As a cultural and historical hub, Prague is home to over 100 museums, including the National Museum with a collection of over 14 million items, and the more unique Museum of Communism.
Český Krumlov
Český Krumlov is a town in the South Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It is sometimes referred to as a smaller, more intimate version of the Czech’s capital (Prague) and a great starting point to explore the south of the country.
The historic center with the Český Krumlov Castle complex is protected by law as an urban monument reservation, and since 1992, it has been a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its well-preserved Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture. The city’s Old Town center, its cobblestone streets, and artsy stores are great to discover by foot. The Czech Republic’s only Baroque theater, built in 1682, is in Český Krumlov as well. In summer, visitors also come to Český Krumlov for water fun, especially rafting and tubing down the Vltava River.
