Czechia

A landlocked country in Central Europe that draws travelers with fairy-tale old towns, castles and palaces, spa towns and world-famous beer culture.

Czechia lies in central Europe and is made up of historic regions including Bohemia in the west and Moravia in the east, largely ringed by low mountains. The capital, Prague, is known for Old Town Square, Charles Bridge and Prague Castle; in the south, Český Krumlov is a well-preserved medieval town, in the west Karlovy Vary is famous for its spa treatments, and the second-largest city, Brno, has many Functionalist buildings. The country has a great many castles and a deep beer culture. Late spring to early autumn brings pleasant weather, and the Christmas markets in winter are atmospheric too. Most international visitors arrive through Prague Airport, and rail and road links with Germany and Austria are convenient.
