  • STYLISH ACCOMMODATION with a FAMILY ATMOSPHERE Dear Readers
    CENTRAL BOHEMIA TOURIST BOARD STYLISH ACCOMMODATION WITH A FAMILY ATMOSPHERE Dear readers, The tourist season is here, so come and get to know Central Bohemia. Our châteaux and castles have tempting new guided routes, our museums boast unusual exhibits and our region, enveloping the capital, has plenty of novel sports options for you to try. You’ll find tips on our region, and how to enjoyably spend your time, in our brochures as well as our Facebook and web pages. For all those who like to explore at length, for whom a same-day return is not ‘just the ticket’ we bring a selection of places to stay. Don’t be surprised these aren’t hotels for large groups; in this brochure we’ve kept things family-focused, so to speak. It’s not just that some places have ‘family’ in their names, we are talking about the cosier guesthouses, homesteads, farms and hotels that have flourished as family businesses, under the care of couples or groups of friends who have committed to making their guests feel at home. Our brochure introduces you to guesthouses with splendid views, farms dedicated to ecology and sustainability – from energy use to own meat production, places to ‘drift away’ on horseback, or to sample rural life. You may often find yourself casting your mind back to the summer days you spent at grandma’s cottage, such is the homely mood these hospitality entrepreneurs have taken pains to achieve. We wish you a relaxing stay in Central Bohemia, and your many happy return visits at any time of year.

  • Must See in Prague
    Must see in Prague Prague Castle Prague Castle is the largest castle complex in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Originally dating to the 9th century, this landmark, which surrounds St. Vitus Cathedral, bears the mark of each architectural and historical era that it has lived through. To this day, it serves as the seat of the Czech state. Prague Old Town and Jewish Quarter Despite being only a fraction of its former self, Prague’s Jewish Quarter comprises the best current complex of Jewish historical monuments in all of Europe. The smallest of Prague’s districts was walled off as a ghetto in 1096, following a pogrom against its inhabitants, who were mainly Jewish immigrants. Old Town Hall and the Astronomical Clock Arguably Prague’s most identifiable icon, the Astronomical Clock built into the façade of the Old Town Hall on Old Town Square continues to draw crowds waiting to see the hourly chiming of this amazing mechanical structure that dates to 1410. Powder Tower The Powder Tower is a one of the original medieval gates to the Old Town built by Matej Rejsek in the Gothic style in 1475. In the 18th century, it served as a gunpowder depot, giving it its current name. In the late 19th century, it was rebuilt by J. Mocker, and it remains one of Prague’s most important medieval monuments. Charles Bridge Prague’s oldest bridge, and one of its most iconic structures, is Charles Bridge, which connects Old Town with Malá Strana. Dating to 1357, it was originally called the Stone Bridge, or Prague Bridge, before being named Charles Bridge in 1870, after its founder King Charles IV.

Each year, friends of football from ten different countries convene over the Pentecost weekend in one of the most stunning cities in Europe.
