Holiday Rentals Czech Republic The Czech Republic has stirred the imaginations of outsiders for centuries, as mysterious Prague enchants visitors with its spires and towers, enveloping them in its magical, yet bustling downtown life and relaxed cafés that contrasts sharply to the different, yet equally intense, intoxication of the sparkling green countryside.
A socially liberal country, its capital city Prague in particular draws young revelers and adventure-seekers eager to sample the unconventional. Prague provides this in spades with a city atmosphere that inspires flights of gothic fancy and a colorful public life that is increasingly active 24 hours.
After a few days sampling the city’s sights and sounds, visitors are likely to seek rest and relaxation in the rural villages in verdant countryside just outside of Prague. A thriving parks system offers outdoor recreation, ecotourism and sportsman opportunities. Spa resorts that date back to feudal times are in abundance in many areas of the Czech Republic. The split between rural and urban life is sharp, and most visitors feel compelled to see both.
There are a variety of things to do in the Czech Republic, and regions to explore. The two principle destinations are Bohemia and Moravia, the latter of which is especially captivating, despite all the raving about Bohemia. Moravia features the delightful town of Brno, which will entrance you with its historical architecture and folksy ambience. Indeed, the Tugendhat Villa offers a surprising contrast to what a tourist might typically expect in old Europe; yes, there are ancient buildings, but the Tugendhat Villa is actually one of the continent’s best demonstrations of modernist, 1920’s European architecture.
Outdoor activities in Prague are abundant, ranging from water sports on the country’s pristine lakes and rivers to adventurous hiking, climbing and camping. Those more of the 5-star persuasion will find exceptional value on accommodations in the big cities and especially small villages throughout the Czech Republic countryside.
