Prices are lower for those who like to find the best deal, and the culture is more “authentic”, or unspoiled by tourist demands. The result is a charming step back into a fairytale world of “Real Europe.” Here are some of the best places to visit in the Czech Republic :

The town is a vibrant economic center, home of breweries like Pilsner Urquell, and the well-known University of West Bohemia, the nation’s premiere college of Law.

9. Moravian Karst [SEE MAP]

Moravian Karst

This geologic phenomenon is in a naturally protected region of the Czech Republic, just north of Brno. This is a giant series of underground limestone caverns and gorges that stretch for thousands of square kilometers.

The region includes such highlights as the Macocha Abyss, a gorge 138 meter (453 foot) deep, which formed during a collapse of one of the underground cavern ceilings. In addition to caverns, Moravian Karst also contains well-marked bicycle trails and hiking paths to explore.

8. Litomysl [SEE MAP]

Litomysl

This eastern town on the once border between Bohemia and Moravia sat on an important trade route called the Tristenice Path. In the late sixteenth century, the most notable building in the town was created, a renaissance-style castle.

This palace is the birthplace of noted classical music composer Bedrich Smetana. Another highlight in the town is the Portmoneum, the former home of art lover Josef Portmon, and a tribute to graphic art that covers walls, floors, ceilings and furniture in a completely immersive style.

7. Olomouc [SEE MAP]

Olomouc

Olomouc was originally created as a Roman fort during the imperial period. The name is a corrupted version of its Roman name, Mount Julius. It later became the residence of the Moravian governor.

There is much to see here, as the town was considered important during almost every century of the last millennium. Olomouc Castle dates back to the twelfth century, and has in it the beautiful Saint Wencelas Cathedral.

The town is populated with more than a dozen lovely religious buildings from progressive architectural styles, six notable baroque fountains that are a point of pride, a notable art museum, and the spectacular astronomical clock.

6. Telc [SEE MAP]

Telc

This town in the Moravia region of the South was created as a port town in the 14th Century to facilitate trade between Bohemia, Moravia, and Austria. The town’s historic center boasts easter-egg colors and renaissance architecture, which make it a picturesque place to visit.

The local Gothic palace was redone in the 17th century to remake it in Renaissance style. Beautiful churches like the church of the Holy Ghost and the local Jesuit Church make this a lovely place for photographers, architectural and history buffs.

5. Castle Karlstejn [SEE MAP]

Castle Karlstejn

This 14th Century Gothic Castle was the home of Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. It is located about 30 km (18 miles) from Prague, and makes a nice day trip for tourists staying in the city.

The castle has served as a war fortress, a storehouse for treasure, and a royal home at different points. The building is designed with three terraced levels, each standing for different levels of importance.

From lowest to highest, the sections are called the Imperial Palace, the Marian Tower, and the Big Tower. The Knights and the Emperor inhabited the imperial palace, the Marian Tower was reserved for the Empress, and the Big Tower was left for God, and has a chapel inside.

4. Karlovy Vary [SEE MAP]

Karlovy Vary

This hot spring town has been believed for hundreds of years to have healing waters that can clear anything from poor digestion to brain tumors. Like many hot spring regions, the waters were developed into a large spa region.

In this case, the transformation happened in the 13th Century, and was commissioned by Charles IV. As spas were the place of nobles, the architecture has always been opulent. However, a series of natural disasters have destroyed most of the buildings that existed before the heyday of Karlovy Vary in the 18th and 19th centuries.

The town is still quite grand and picturesque however, and the spa is still open over six centuries later, and still claims miracle cures for dozens to hundreds of ailments.

3. Kutna Hora [SEE MAP]

Kutna Hora

Kutna Hora began as the first Bohemian monastery in 1142. It began to boom and prosper as the town’s mountains were shown to have a large silver deposit in the 12th century.

The town was under German control when much of this boom happened, and has created a number of spectacular Gothic buildings. Included in the list of must-see places is the five-naved Cathedral, St Barbaras Church. Also, the royal residence and mint now called the Italian Court, the current museum called the Stone Haus, the Ossuary (bone house), and two more lovely Gothic Churches.

For Gothic Architecture lovers, there are few places with as many preserved buildings dating back to the 1300’s.

2. Cesky Krumlov [SEE MAP]

Cesky Krumlov

Cesky Krumlov, a town featuring a large “Bohemian Castle” resides in the region of Krumlov. It was created in the late thirteenth century, when the region was

The location along a natural crossing of the Vltava river made it a perfect place to build. The town’s appearance is little changed since the 18th century and the buildings have been well maintained and restored.

It is a lovely castle city that still has the look and feel of a Medieval town. Crooked cobblestone streets and brightly-colored stucco facades make Cesky Krumlov beautiful and unique. The streets are full of interesting shops, succulent food, and timeless charm.

1. Prague [SEE MAP]

#1 of Best Places To Visit In Czech Republic

One of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Prague was founded in the 9th century and has served over the centuries as the seat of Holy Roman Emperors as well as an important economic, cultural and political center in Central Europe.

Playing important roles in the Protestant Reformation and the Thirty Years’ War, the city became the capital of Czechoslovakia after World War I. Following Czechoslovakia’s 1993 division into two separate governments, Prague became the capital of the Czech Republic.

Today, Prague is a magical city of stunning cathedrals, medieval architecture, vibrant culture, fine dining and energetic atmosphere, making it one of the most visited cities in Europe. There is no shortage of exciting things to see and do in Prague. Not to be missed is the Prague Castle, the world’s largest ancient castle.

The city’s Old Town is packed with historic landmarks such as the Astronomical Clock and gorgeous churches like the Church of Our Lady before Týn. Outside the historic district are must-see sites like the beautiful Charles Bridge, and Wenceslas Square.

Prague’s culture scene is one of Europe’s best. The city is overflowing in art galleries, museums and theaters. Lovers of Kafka can see his home and the cemetery where he was buried. More modern art lovers can see the Giant Metronome, or the Fred and Ginger Dancing House.

I am Czech and I agree with Dan. I personally don’t like Brno that much, but It’s better choice than Pilsen. It’s student and cultural life is just amazing here. Just after the Prague. Also I have to mention the Petrov church and Spilberk castle. And last but not least the UNESCO Thungendhat villa. Famous place to visit.

The Czech Republic is home to over 2,000 castles ; plenty of UNESCO World Heritage Sites; and an epic skyline full of medieval bridges, towers, and spires everywhere. Whether you're here to relax, explore the outdoors, or visit the country's legendary Christmas markets, chances are you won't be disappointed.

The Charles Bridge and Vltava River in Prague

Prague is full of architectural magic: Baroque palaces and Gothic cathedrals mixing in with Cubist and Art Nouveau buildings all around 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.

Some of the best views of Prague are actually from above: the medieval Charles Bridge Tower and the Old Town Hall Tower over the main square offer views of red rooftops and the main Christmas market in winter. There's also the view from 9th-century Prague Castle , which sits up on a hill, and it's the largest castle complex in the world according to the Guinness World Records.

A cultural and historical hub, Prague is home to over 100 museums, including the one dedicated to local writer Franz Kafka , the National Museum with a collection of over 14 million items, and the more unique Museum of Communism. You also shouldn't miss the 12th-century Strahov Library, considered one of the most beautiful libraries in the world.

Aerial view of Cesky Krumlov

Český Krumlov is a smaller, more intimate version of the Czech capital and a great starting point to explore the south of the country. The city's Old Town center and its cobblestone streets and artsy stores are great to discover on foot.

Český Krumlov's castle is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Monument and one of the highlights of the town , but it's the castle tower and its amazing views over the town that attract the most visitors.

The Czech Republic's only Baroque theater is here. Built in 1682, it still maintains all its original mechanical stage pieces and decorations. Tickets don't come easy, though - there are only two public performances per year.

In summer, visitors also come to Český Krumlov for water fun, especially rafting and tubing down the Vltava River.

Colorful buildings in Karlovy Vary

A spa town since the 19th century, Karlovy Vary is home to many hot springs that are supposed to have restorative properties . Spas and wellness centers abound here, offering everything from classic massages to cupping to curative baths.

Colorful neo-Baroque and neo-Renaissance buildings give Karlovy Vary a unique architectural look that can't be found in other cities around the Czech Republic. Add to that the impressive mill colonnade (home to five of the biggest hot springs in town) and Karlovy Vary is a photographer's paradise.

The Moser Museum, dedicated to the famous Czech glassmaking tradition, is also worth a visit.

For the best views around, take the funicular to the top of Friendship Hill , then climb the Diana Lookout Tower. There are marked trails you can use to make your way back down into town for even more beautiful sights along the way.

The Karlovy Vary International Film Festival , which has been running every summer since 1946, attracts Hollywood stars and over 100,000 movie lovers every year. The five-day festival showcases over 200 films from all over the world.

Just 13 kilometers from Karlovy Vary is the 12th-century Loket nad Ohri castle, worth a visit for its turbulent history that includes a two-century-long stint as a prison. Visitors can tour the castle to see original residences, a massive collection of porcelain and firearms, and an iron meteorite that fell on the village in the 1400s.

St. Barbara's Church, Kutna Hora

Most visitors arriving in Kutna Hora are there to see the Sedlec Ossuary, a Baroque chapel decorated with the bones of over 40,000 people who perished during the Black Death and Hussite Wars in the 14th and 15th centuries.

St. Barbara's Church nearby is a Gothic masterpiece and a UNESCO World Heritage site also worth a visit.

Once a thriving silver mining and processing area, Kutna Hora is now home to a few historical places that preserve that royal past. Visitors can head down into a medieval mine or visit a mining museum that recreates the life of miners in the 17th through 19th centuries.

The Italian Court palace nearby once served as a royal mint center and today is a museum of coin minting. Visitors can mint their own coins to take home, and visit the royal chapel within the palace.

After a guided tour, you can wander off into the cellar of the palace for a unique exhibition on the dark side of Kutna Hora, including medieval criminal records, cases of witchcraft and arsonists, and interrogation and torture instruments.

View of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul and Brno Old Town

The Czech Republic's second largest city doesn't get a lot of attention, but there are tons of interesting things to do in Brno if you know where to look.

Brno's city center is dominated by the towering Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, a great reference point for exploring the Old Town and its beautiful Gothic and early Baroque architecture.

While Brno can't compete with Prague when it comes to the massive number of museums, the city has some unique options to offer. Stop by the Museum of Romani Culture, go underground for a tour of the 10-Z nuclear shelter, or visit the Brno City Museum inside Špilberk Castle.

Brno is also home to Europe's second-largest ossuary, located under the Church of St. James, as well as a famous system of underground tunnels and cellars known simply as "Labyrinth under Vegetable Market."

With a happening café culture and plenty of outdoor markets to discover, Brno is a great place to explore on foot. For more adventure, it's possible to take a day trip out to Moravian Karst, a stunning karst landscape home to over 1,000 caverns and gorges.

Pravcicka brana sandstone arch in Bohemian Switzerland National Park

Sandstone mountains, rock labyrinths, and deep valleys and ravines make Bohemian Switzerland one of the most stunning natural destinations in the country. The park is best known for being home to Pravčická brána, the biggest sandstone rock arch in Europe at 16 meters tall and almost 27 meters wide.

The park sits right against Saxon Switzerland National Park in Germany, and trails crisscross from one country into the next for the ultimate hike.

Among the other big attractions in Bohemian Switzerland National Park are the gorges of the Kamenice River, where a ferryman will row you away among the narrow sandstone passageways and next to waterfalls.

Jested Tower in Liberec

The fifth largest city in the country is better known for the 94-meter-tall Ještěd Tower , which sits at the top of its namesake mountain. The concrete tower was originally meant to be just a TV transmitter, but it now also houses a hotel and restaurant.

More adventurous travelers can hike up to the tower, but it's also possible to take a cable car to the top of the hill. Once here, you'll be rewarded with stunning open views over the Lusatian Mountains. In winter, the hills around the tower transform into over nine kilometers of slopes for skiing and snowboarding.

Don't let Liberec's small size fool you - there's plenty to explore here. Spend some time at the iQLANDIA planetarium and science museum to meet the first humanoid robot in the Czech Republic, walk the themed pavilions at the botanical garden, or explore the ancient Frýdštejn Castle.

Snow-covered Spindleruv Mlyn

A ski resort in winter and a hiker's paradise the rest of the year, Špindlerův Mlýn sits near the Krkonoše mountains and national park. Špindlerův Mlýn is the most important winter sports center in the country , with 11 ski lifts and 25 ski slopes for all skill levels. Non-skiers can try cross-country skiing, snow tubing, and snowboarding or ice climb a frozen waterfall.

Summer visitors can try a 120-meter zipline above the Labská dam, explore the cycling paths (the longest route, between Harrachov and Žacléř towns, is 71 kilometers long), or take on the hundreds of kilometers of hiking trails that cross throughout the area.

Town square in Telc

The tiny town of Telč is best known for its UNESCO World Heritage Site town square . A mix of colorful Renaissance and Baroque houses with high gables and covered in sgraffito line up the plaza here.

Telč was once a medieval water fortress surrounded by moats and gates. While none of that survives today, there are still fishponds surrounding the chateau at the end of the square. The chateau sits where the original Gothic castle once stood and can only be accessed via a guided tour. There's a local history museum and a lavish chapel within the palace grounds.

Back on the square, visitors can climb the tower of the nearby Holy Ghost Church for great views over the fairy-tale rooftops. An even more magical view of Telč can be had from the outskirts of town, where the 34-meter-high steel Oslednice lookout tower offers not only a view of the town but also the roof of Roštejn Castle in the distance.

Holasovice

This small historic village is made of 17 Baroque farms containing over 100 buildings. Set near the protected Blanský Forest, the original buildings date back to the 1200s, though most were reconstructed in the 18th and 19th centuries.

While the place looks very much like an open-air museum, the farms are permanently inhabited, though some of the buildings have been set up as cultural attractions. In addition to the farms, there's also a blacksmith shop and a small chapel here.

In April, a major "building of the Maypole" festival is celebrated here, and an old Bohemian fair takes place in the village during July.

Walk around the village to find an exhibit on early-20th-century farm life, then visit the ceramics workshop to get a customized souvenir - anything from your own mug to an address plate for your door can be created here using traditional Southern Bohemian techniques.

Near the village, at the top of a small hill, there's also the "Holašovice Stonehenge," a modern megalithic circle of giant stones created by a local builder. Although originally meant as a curiosity, it offers one of the best views over the village and a great place to sit back and relax.

Stream in Sumava National Park

Šumava National Park is home to the largest primeval forested area on the continent . A UNESCO Biosphere Reserve with glacial lakes, lush green mountains, and raised peat bogs, the park remains mostly wild and untouched. As a result, hiking here is a unique experience, no matter if you're taking to the forest trails or heading to the lookout tower at the top of Poledník mountain.

Šumava covers a massive 680 square kilometers and offers everything from hiking to cycling to cross-country skiing routes. Just outside the borders of the park there's also Kašperk Castle and Černé jezero, the deepest natural lake in the country.

Olomouc

Olomouc sits right on the Morava river, full of random little cobblestone streets perfect for exploring on foot. The city is home to a number of historical monuments, including the 35-meter-tall Holy Trinity Column, built in part to celebrate the end of the plague, and six Baroque fountains that were once the main water source for the town.

Other prominent buildings include the neo-Gothic Saint Wenceslas Cathedral and the town hall with its astronomical clock.

Olomouc is also home to a number of unique museums, such as the open-air Folk Architecture Museum (which tells the history of crafts and farming through historic buildings and tools used in the trades), the interactive science museum Fortress of Knowledge, and a railway museum.

The Olomouc castle and the nearby Olomouc fortress are also great sights, and both are surrounded by beautiful green spaces perfect for a relaxing stroll under the sun.

The surprising flavors of Moravian cuisine - including the famous ripened curd cheese Olomoucké Tvarůžky - are another reason to visit Olomouc.

Snezka, Krkonose National Park

In addition to being the oldest national park in the country, Krkonoše National Park is also home to Sněžka (Snow), the highest mountain in the Czech Republic at 1,602 meters. Filled with stunning, postcard-worthy hiking and biking trails, the park is also a paradise for skiers and snowshoers.

For adrenaline-seekers, there's also sledding, snowtubing, and even ice climbing under the supervision of a guide.

The park sits against the Poland border and the Karkonosze National Park on the polish side, so those up for some major hiking can easily start in one country and end in the next.

Kromeriz Castle gardens

Located against the Morava River in the Zlín Region, this picturesque historical city is best known for the Kroměříž Castle and its gorgeous gardens, which are a UNESCO World Heritage Site . The castle has been used extensively in movies, including to film scenes for Amadeus (1984), Immortal Beloved (1994), and Angélique (2013).

In addition to exploring the extensive gardens, you can also tour the castle itself, including the 84-meter Chateau Tower, the old library, the chateau art gallery, and more. Climbing the tower also gives you stunning open views over the city.

The Church of St. Moritz , one of the largest Gothic structures in the Czech Republic, is nearby and worth a visit. So is the local museum, which has exhibits on the history and culture of the area, and the Muzeum, dedicated to singer-songwriter Karel Kryl, with stunning exhibits featuring a mix of music and art.

Filled with colorful townhouses and a stunning column and fountain from the 17th and 18th centuries, the Kromeriz Town Square is great for a walk.

Hluboka Castle, Ceske Budejovice

Located about 150 kilometers south of Prague and just 25 kilometers away from Český Krumlov, České Budějovice deserves a visit, at least for an afternoon. The city's old town square is flanked by colorful Baroque buildings.

Just a few steps away is the 72-meter-high Black Tower . Climb to the top for a great view over the main square and its red rooftops.

Since the city sits at the confluence of the Vltava and Malse rivers, there's also a lot of waterfront to explore here.

Less than 12 kilometers from České Budějovice is Hluboká castle , considered one of the most stunning chateaus in the country . Although the original property dates back to the 13th century, the current neo-Gothic look comes from renovations done in the 1800s. Visitors can walk through the castle's extensive English gardens, climb the tower for beautiful views of the countryside, or tour the château's chambers and halls. Scenes from the movie Underworld: Blood Wars were filmed here.

The corners of the Czech Republic are famous for being captivating. A part of the heart of each one has remained in this country, mainly of historical personages like Pedro the Great, or Albert Einstein, who have looked for a temporary refuge, to grow and to dream in this beautiful country, that in spite of not having contact with the sea attracts by its black tourism, mainly if one travels to visit the Osario of Seldec in Kutna Hora, or the same Prague where the gothic of their castles and churches grant a glamorous bottom if what you look for is a space to fall in love. Cesky Krumlov on the other hand fights not to be overshadowed by the capital, since for many this it is the city with the most beautiful houses and alleys of the country. For lovers of beer and its history Pilsen is waiting for you for a sparkling experience.

There is also Karlovy Vary, a famous spa town that will suit you well as a therapeutic trip; many consider it the fountain of youth. There are many places with a special touch, captivating and at the same time with an interesting history. In ancient times it was called Bohemia and was subject to various changes due to geopolitical reforms, becoming the capital of the Holy Roman Empire, later part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. And as it happened in most of the countries of Central Europe, it had decades under the shadow of communist regimes subordinated to the power of the former USSR, marking the culmination of this doctrine with the so-called Velvet Revolution. It is an extremely small country, with two main tributaries, the Elbe and the Vltava rivers, of about 78 thousand square kilometers but with a considerable number of 10 million inhabitants.

What to see in Czech Republic

Tourist map of Prague

tourist map czech republic

Prague symbolizes the entire stately past of Central Europe, a city that shows beauty in every corner. Parga is undoubtedly an ideal place for romance and encounters. Let its splendour give you warmth in winter time. You can have an appointment at the famous Charles IV Bridge with the Moldavian River as a witness, of magnificent evenings and visit its many tourist sites. It has to its credit beautiful churches, a Jewish quarter, Wenceslas Square, its castle, and its curious astronomical clock. In addition, you can consult in its tourist office about the wide repertoire of cultural events to spice up the experience and enjoy in style everything the city has to offer. An extremely charming city, not for nothing is the spoiled and one of the most beautiful in Europe.

Karlovy Vary

tourist map czech republic

When passing through Prague, you can schedule a visit to this beautiful city between your outings. It is considered a spa rich in history and curious places. Its name comes from being a discovery of the Czech King Charles IV. It was the same monarch who established the bases for the foundation of this city, which consequently came to be a place elite. Its facilities evoke an environmental scheme of the Belle Epoque and represent one of the most famous spas in the world today. Get ready to walk around this city in the light of a lot of charming places. Dare to visit it and try its medicinal waters, you will have exquisite gastronomic experiences and walks along the river. In its park “Dvorak” was where the first colonnades of thermal waters were established. Its corners mix a fine architecture in the Swiss style; it is like to fulfill a tour under this thematic dressing.

Cesky Krumlov

tourist map czech republic

Its set of alleys has an unparalleled charm. We could say that it is a super romantic and inspiring place, which connects with beautiful houses and dreamy corners; even so the words would fall short of any adjective. Without a doubt, this city is the most beautiful in the country for many. The Vltava River turns around this spectacular castle about three times. It seems that they are the pillar to settle a set of places that trap people in search of inspiration, so much so that artists, poets die to make this place their canvas or stage for their performances. This city preserves many resentments from its best period of growth, between the 14th and 17th centuries. It represents a patrimonial bastion for UNESCO, because of its multiple influences and contributions to the conservation and embellishment of this magnificent period for the Renaissance architecture.

Karlstejn Medieval Castle

tourist map czech republic

Being in Prague we suddenly feel like getting away from it all, so this castle is an excellent option. It competes in popularity with the amount of impressive castles that the Czech Republic boasts. This time one that had the function of guarding treasures of the crown and whose order was carried out jealously by the king Carlos IV. To get in and catch the magic of its Gothic art, you have to go through a little town full of curious places, restaurants and colorful corners that will enchant you. All this to finally stumble upon this piece of castle worthy of a postcard. Access it with an 11 euro ticket at the exchange rate. Surrounded by a hill, the streets and houses seem to slow you down as you gaze up at that mythical castle from far, far away kingdoms that we loved so much as kids.

tourist map czech republic

We assure you an unforgettable tour in this village; the second most important urban centre in the Czech Republic. It has a lot of natural and monumental attractions inside and outside the city. It has a historical center with several references in architecture and art.  Inside it you can find the Vegetable Market with a mix of artistic figures such as the Parnas fountain. Nearby you can visit the old Reduta Theatre, the stage of that young Mozzart. A building that attracts attention is the cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul with its very high neo-Gothic towers. It is curious to hear its bells 1 hour late. Besides, you cannot miss a walk to the natural cave Kart of Moravia or to contemplate a monument of modern architecture like Villa Tugendhat. If the Spilberk Castle is about military constructions of multiple historical reviews

tourist map czech republic

You sure do like beer, and one of the types of this sparkling drink that is most famous, the pilsen beer, has its origin in this place. It is the perfect excuse to go on one of the most refreshing routes in the country, for the tasting and for the history of its mythical Pilsner Urquell brewery. If you wish to delve into the history of beer, you have a museum at hand that tells you everything; with all the toys incorporated to recreate the processes in ancient times. Of course you can add a monumental route to the tour. The Cathedral of San Bartolomé presides over the historical centre, next to the square that once was the largest in Europe. You will have the Great Synagogue and Lake Bolevec among the alternatives at this beer stop.

tourist map czech republic

This city is perfect to visit during a day trip if you are in Prague. If you haven’t heard about it on your tour of this diverse country then perimeters tell you. The good thing about this is that at the central station you are assured of transportation. Once you are there you will find a city that is a faithful image of a time more or less of the 13th century. There are several places to visit, starting with the “main course”; that’s what we assume. It is the Osario of Seldec, a chapel with an interior design composed by thousands of bones. A little bit bizarre but perhaps it was the most usual at the time. Central European Gothic is evident in the Church of the Assumption of Our Lady and Saint John the Baptist, only surpassed by the Cathedral of Saint Vitus in size, as well as the corners of its popular old town.

Bohemian Switzerland

tourist map czech republic

A scenario that seems unrealistic is spreading across the northern part of the Czech Republic, bordering Germany. This is a large area of nature reserve that has become a National Park at the beginning of the 21st century.  What makes this place special is the wonderful landscape, as if taken from a fairy tale. Formed by an agglomeration of sandstone rocks, they rise with an impressive slope achieving amazing reliefs with their valleys fed by the Elbe River. It is an excellent place to make an adventure composed by extreme sports and hiking. In many of its places you can learn about its vegetation, admire the colors that the sun makes with the environment and appreciate unique species of animals. You can feel all the magic of this world by going through the Gate of Pravčice one of the best known natural monuments.

Czech Paradise

tourist map czech republic

Or in its original grammar Český ráj, it is a reservoir park. It has the particularity of housing numerous castles, palaces and residences among the rocks that make up a combined landscape, as we usually see in epic films. Attracted by the rarity of its wild inhabitants, its vegetation and the morphology of its terrain, the inhabitants began to settle and take refuge in these constructions carved into the rocks themselves. Their castles, fortresses are open to the public, full of history and beauty. Many of them as they were in the beginning of which they started to consider this place a real Czech paradise. There are also many paths where you can go on a walking or cycling tour in an organized way. You can also visit the nearby villages of Malá Skála and Turnov.

Map of hotels in the Czech Republic

There are several environments to choose from. You’ll have lots of ideas where you can make your stay an adventure, whether it’s in the woods, on a boat, in a houseboat; we want you to have a great time. There is never a lack of those who are looking for a romantic place in harmony with the architectural compendium of its historical centres. There are many elegant hotels with a stately atmosphere, even near the most popular places to visit. To give you access to all the information we show you a tourist map of the Czech Republic. Grandior Hotel Prague is an excellent option in your stay in the capital. With easy access to the subway so you can easily take a route by the main monuments of the city like the castle of Prague. It is an ideal place if you travel with children, with spacious rooms and luxurious furniture.

12 day Czech Republic Itinerary – The ultimate road trip travel route

Head on an unforgettable road trip travel route with this 12 day czech republic itinerary.

A road trip to the Czech Republic is highly underestimated. Currently, travel in Europe slowly moving from Spain and Italy to destinations such as Albania (and for a good reason!). However, the Czech Republic is also a country that should be on your bucket list to further explore. While Prague is a popular destination for a city trip, other areas in the country are still slightly underrated. Therefore, I’ll show you the beauty of the country including a 12-day Czech Republic itinerary, including the full travel route we followed during our road trip. 

How to get around the Czech Republic

The easiest way to get around the Czech Republic is by car or rental car. Even though the main cities are connected by train, a car allows you to further explore beautiful locations such as Bohemian Paradise, Bohemian Switzerland or the wine region Moravia. We booked our car through www.rentalcars.com for €330 for a week. Alternatively, you can optimize this travel route for public transport by focusing on the main 4 cities: Prague, Karlovy Vary, Cesky Krumlov and Brno. However, bear in mind that total travel costs will also be around ~€100 per person while traveling takes longer.

Best time to visit the Czech Republic

If you are looking to visit the Czech Republic, I would recommend visiting in the summer months. Personally, I would advise visiting in May, June or September to avoid the high-season crowds while still experiencing longer and warmer days. 

- Czech Republic Travel Map -

My Czech Republic Travel Map shows the full overview of our visit to the Czech Republic, covering the high-level travel route including the best places to see, the best bars and restaurants and the best places to stay during your 12-day Czech Republic Itinerary. 

12 DAY CZECH REPUBLIC ITINERARY SUMMARY

Day 1 – 2:  Explore Prague  Day 3:  Visit Velka Amerika and Hrjad Karlsejn Day 4:  Hike in Bohemian Paradise Day 5:  Explore Bohemian Switzerland Day 6:  Pay a visit to Loket Day 7-8:  Karlovy Vary , Czech’s spa capital Day 8-9:  Cesky Krumlov  and Hluboka Castle Day 10:  Sip wines in Moravia Day 11 – 12:  Brno

Why this itinerary and travel route alternatives

We chose an itinerary that would include a decent amount of kilometres, stretching half of the country. On top of that, we wanted to combine the best-known and beautiful cities and villages with national parks to explore for example the Parchov Rock formations. If you would like to skip one of the cities and replace it with more nature or different experiences, I would advise you to skip Brno and add a night in Moravia or add the rock formations in Adrspach.

In case you are looking for a 10-day Czech Republic itinerary, you can skip the night in Loket and cut either Karlovy Vary, Cesky Krumlov or Brno short with 1 night. 

|| Visit Prague (3 nights)

In total, we spent 3 nights in Prague, which allowed us to explore the capital city of the Czech Republic for 2 days. During our first day in Prague, we focused on exploring the old town and new town (Stari Mesto and Novi Mesto). Moreover, during the second day in Prague, we focused on visiting Prague Castle and Mala Strana, while following a walking route provided by Time to Momo.

Prague is home to many bars and restaurants you can’t miss during your visit.  Firstly, head to  Bokovka  for a glass of wine, visit  U Kunstatu for the best craft beer or enjoy a riverside drink in the sun at  Capadlo. Also, you can find a local beer experience at   U Zlateho Tygra . Furthermore, you should not miss out on  Kavarna Novy Svet  for a cup of coffee during your visit to Prague Castle. Lastly, Parlor Cafe is amazing for brunch, while Nase Maso serves the most amazing meat sandwiches.

Where to stay in Prague: OREA Place Seno (Old Town – €110), Mosaic House Design Hotel (New Town – €100),  Botanique Hotel Prague (Mala Strana – €100). 

Check out the full travel guide including the best places to visit, bars and restaurants in Prague here.

Novy Svet, The Cutest Street in Prague

|| Visit Velka AmeriKa and Hrad Karlstejn on your way to Bohemian Paradise (Stop-Over)

After our third night in Prague and a lovely breakfast at Parlor Cafe, we grabbed an Uber to the airport to pick up Waking up after your 3rd night in Prague, pick up the rental car. Afterwards, we drove to Velka Amerika, approximately 35 minutes away (we arrived at 13:30). After a walk around Velka Amerika, we continued our journey. 

Subsequently, we visited Hrad Karlstejn. Even though these two locations weren’t in the direction of our final destination of the day, we still decided to make the detour. Eventually, we arrived at the parking lot and Hrad Karlstejn around 15:00. Next, we walked up to the castle and admired the beautiful exterior. After our visit, we enjoyed a beer in town before starting the drive to Bohemian Paradise, our place to stay for the night.

Where to stay in Bohemian Paradise (2 nights) :  U Zlate Brany Cesky Raj  (my recommendation, rooms starting from €45),  Pod Sikmou ,  Hotel Brada  (€95).

Curious about the most beautiful castles to visit in the Czech Republic? Check out my full guide here.

Velka Amerika, Czech Republic Nature, Czech Republic Itinerary

|| Explore Bohemian Paradise (2 nights)

Even though we spent two nights in Bohemian Paradise, we only took one day to explore the highlights. Since we arrived later in the evening, we woke up early to get the most out of our day and beat the crowds. Therefore, we arrived slightly before 8 a.m. at the parking lot of the Parchov Rocks. 

Firstly, we enjoyed hiking the green route in the national park, covering 3kms. Due to our early arrival, we arrived back at our car at about 10 a.m. Afterwards, we continued our day in Bohemian Paradise with a visit to Hruba Skala. Meanwhile, we did some research on the best hike around Hruba Skala, which brought us to enjoy more rock views and rewarded us with a visit to Hrad Veldstejn. Additionally, I wrote a complete guide on how to best spend 1 day in Bohemian Paradise

Thereafter, we decided it was time for a decent lunch at Pod Sikmou. Following our lunch, we drove back to our accommodation for a dip in the pool and some beers on the terrace of the great place we stayed. 

Bohemain Paradise in the Czech Republic

|| Go on a hike in Bohemian Switzerland (1 night)

After an early rise in Bohemian Paradise, we continued our 12-day Czech Republic itinerary towards Bohemian Switzerland, where we arrived at the parking lot at 10 a.m. Next, we hiked to the Pravcice Gate, the main highlight of Bohemian Switzerland. Subsequently, we continued our walk to Mezni Louka and the Edmund Gorge. Surprisingly, the Edmund Gorge was our main highlight of Bohemian Switzerland and way more impressive than the gate. 

Unfortunately, the Gorge is currently closed due to landslides (2023). Certainly, check out my complete Bohemian Switzerland guide if you want to learn more. 

Finally, we drove to our accommodation of the day, glamping! Initially, our play was to stay 2 nights, however, the weather turned bad. Therefore, we decided to leave the next morning. 

Where to stay in Bohemian Switzerland (1 night): Trapani Glamping Camp (Ruzova) (€45), Stara Plynarna  (€175), U Forta  (€75).

Pravcicka gate, Bohemian Switzerland, Czech Republic

|| Visit the spa-capital of the czech republic: Karlovy Vary (2 nights)

Next up is the spa capital of the Czech Republic: Karlovy Vary. Generally, I have to admit I was slightly underwhelmed by Karlovy Vary, however, I would still add it to your itinerary. Overall, I mainly appreciated the more luxurious vibe, the beautiful colonnades and the experience of drinking healing water from the hot springs. Furthermore, I love to alternate nature and city destinations during a road trip. Curious to learn about the best places to visit and the best bars and restaurants in Karlovy Vary? Check out my complete city guide here. 

Where to stay in Karlovy Vary:  Grand Hotel Pupp  (€200), Hotel Palatin  (€100), OREA Place Karlsbad  (€60)

Market Collonade, Karlovy Vary

|| Go off the Beaten track in Loket (1 night)

We visited Loket before our stay in Karlovy Vary, due to the bad weather in Bohemian Switzerland. However, if you follow this itinerary, I would advise you to do it after Karlovy Vary due to the location. Furthermore, if you need to cut your visit to the Czech Republic short, this could be a location to skip. Nevertheless, Loket is worth a short stop. 

Loket is a beautiful small town, used as the set for one of the James Bond movies. While there aren’t many main sights to be found, strolling around is a pleasure. Next to that, there are plenty of nice restaurants to be found. On top of that, there is a brewery with a nice terrace and some local bars. 

Curious if Loket is something for you?! Don’t forget to check out my short city guide to Loket.

Where to stay in Loket: Hotel Stein Elbogen  (€75), Atmosfera  (€90), Penzion Quest  (€65)

City Views in Loket, Czech Republic

|| Visit the famous Cesky Krumlov (2 nights)

Firstly, the beautiful castle Hluboka can be found on the way from Loket or Karlovy Vary to Cesky Krumlov. In my humble opinion, Hluboka is worth a visit and was, together with Karlstejn, my favourite castle in the Czech Republic. After our visit, we continued our journey to the famous town of Cesky Krumlov. 

Since the town is very popular and can be found in many guidebooks, I was pretty excited to finally pay a visit. Because of the popularity, we decided to stay in Cesky Krumlov for 2 nights. Specifically, because that meant we could explore the town in the early mornings and beat the 1-day-visitors in the evenings. Although the town can easily be explored in a single day, we have gladly enjoyed the numerous bars and restaurants. 

Also, I have a full travel guide on Cesky Krumlov available.

Where to stay in Cesky Krumlov:  Bellevue Hotel  (€175),  Pension Galko  (€75),  Monastery Garden Bistro and Rooms  (€130)

Panoramic view on Cesky Krumlov from the castle

|| Sip some wine in MOravia (stop-over)

After a lovely breakfast in Cesky Krumlov at Kolektiv, we continued our 12-day Czech Republic itinerary to Brno. Fortunately, I did a bit more research on places not to miss in the south of Czech and learned about the wonderful wine region Moravia. Obviously, this was a great reason to add a wine stop to our road trip. Alternatively, you can also stay for a night in Mikulov to explore even more of the region. When doing this, you could cut your time in Brno short, depending on the number of hotels you want to add to your trip. 

While in Moravia, we started at Lahofer before continuing to Mikulov. Afterwards, we drove to Sonberk, where you can sip your wine with the most beautiful views. Undeniably, adding Moravia to our Czech travel route was the best decision of the trip! In my travel guide about Moravia , you can find more details and an overview of the best wineries in Moravia.

Where to stay in Brno (2 nights):  Grandezza Hotel Luxury Palace  (€135),    Bed and Breakfast Placzek  (€100),    Boutique Expo Apartments #5 – Brno Living CZ  (€50)

Alternatively, stay in Mikulov:  Apartman Bella,   Boutique Hotel Golf Garni ,  Comenius Moravus vinařský dvůr

Sonberk Winery, Czech's Wine Region Moravia

|| Your final 12 day czech republic itinerary DESTINATION: Brno (2 nights)

And with that, it is time for the final destination of our 12-day Czech Republic road trip: Brno. This lovely city is known as a student city and its lively atmosphere. Even though we found there is not too much to do and see, there are plenty of great places to relax and indulge in some great food and drinks. Specifically, the speakeasy  Super Panda Circus  is worth a visit. Also, all the beach chairs on the main squares, such as the cabbage markets, give a lovely vibe to this wonderful town. Generally, the city can be explored in a single day, however, we decided not to rush. 

Expectedly, there is also a complete city guide to Brno available.

KČT značky

Czech Tourist Club (KČT)

The history of the Czech Tourist Club dates back to the year 1888, when the club was founded by a group of patriots around Vojta Náprstek. Today it has around 40 thousand members, youth creates almost one quarter of this number.

Walking Trails in Czech Republic

The foundations of walking in the Czech Republic were laid down by the Czech Tourist Club over 100 years ago. An extensive network of hiking trails was created and marked out by hundreds of club members.

This excellent net - 40 000 km - of well-marked and well-connected, Czech hiking trails is the legacy of their work. Today the hiking trails are still maintained by Czech Tourist Club members on a voluntary basis. The marking system is very easy to follow and you can find painted signs on posts, rocks and trees along the way. Sign posts at main hiking route junctions detail also kilometers to the nearest towns.

Czech Hiking Symbols

In fact it is probably the best maintained system of marking in Europe. You can buy in Czech Republic maps of the paths in most bookstores, tobacco shops or museums (green maps, marked with the organization's symbol and the words EDICE TURISTICKÝCH MAP KČT 1 : 50 000 at the top).

Walking Trails - Hiking Symbols

These maps are based on military maps and are very precise. It is also possible to go by bus or train to a small village at the edge of a forest and find the on-site map of the surrounding area, and four possible paths would be visible, marked in red, yellow, green and blue in nice tourist maps. Nearby such a map will be a set of directing signs, usually posted to a tree, pointing the initial direction on any of the coloured paths. The path's colour will be marked on trees throughout the path: three short horizontal bars, the outer two white and the innermost the colour of the path you are on. This symbol will at times appear as an arrow, indicating a turn. Bus and train stops will also be indicated on signs. You can also register to become a member of the Czech Tourist Club, which will enable you to camp for around 30-50 Kč per night in cottages all around the Czech Republic.

Czech Walking Maps

In addition to this, the Czech Tourist Club publishes series of maps of the Czech hiking trails. These maps (1 : 50 000) are based on military maps and are detailed with topographical contours. Unlike other countries, Czech hiking is made easier by the fact that walkers and hikers have the right of access.

Walking maps from the KČT edition, photo archiv

Stretch your legs and take a hike. The Czech Republic has a variety of hiking "styles" be it flat, mountainous, or in the forests. An extremely well-marked trail system makes it easy to shed your weekly city life and get out for a nice relaxed or strenuous walk or hike in the fresh air of the Czech countryside.

The Czech Tourist Club (Klub českých turistů, KČT) is maintaining and marking all hiking trails. Formed in 1888, the club really began going trail-marking after the World War II. Today more than 40,000 kilometers of marked routes maintained by 1,350 volunteers are available. The club also coordinates the bike and skiing trails across the country. The club is divided into 14 different branches, corresponding to the different Czech regions. Contact information to each of the groups can be found at the website.

If you have been out walking around the country already, you have probably already seen the three striped markers on trees, signposts, and other handy marking spots. Two white bars sandwich an either red, blue, yellow or green stripe to indicate what path you are on and where you are going. Periodically on your walk you will come across a posting with information on how many kilometers there are still to selected cities on your chosen route. You will also see other variations on this colored sign; for example an arrow indicates the direction you should go. Loop paths and educational trails are specially marked; a symbol key can be found at the Czech Tourist Club's website. The Club also produces very useful hiking and cycling maps, available in just about any bookstore. The green ones are designed more for hikers; the yellow for the bikers. If you have a region you would like to explore, it is worth it to pick up one of these maps before the trip. Not only can you plan a rough route, they also offer points of interest along the way - and a very helpful beer mug indicating where you can stop for the all-important hiking places.

Czech Republic, a paradise for walking

Krkonoše, Sněžné jámy, foto Wikimedia Commons

With the largest density of castles and chateaux per square kilometer in Europe and incredible, unspoilt mountains, forests, rivers and wetland landscapes, there is so much to see and enjoy.

The Czech Republic is also a walker's paradise not only for its beautiful mountains, rivers and forests but for the amount of castles and chateaux connected by the trails. There are so many different landscapes and paths that you can explore a different part of the country every time you want to go out. Czech Tourist Club has a wealth of information about the trails, including maps and selected itineraries. Since the paths were specially designed, they bring you to many interesting points including castles, quaint villages, and UNESCO sites and along rivers and other picturesque scenery. Two examples of trails being suggested include a walk starting at Hluboká, going through České Budějovice and ending in Český Krumlov. In addition to the fairy princess Hluboká chateau, you can walk along the Vltava in the foothills of the mountains Šumava. The landscape varies between forests and fields. Or head further east into Moravia and follow the trails around the wine making town of Znojmo. You could also enjoy a wonderful walk through the towns and castles of Vranov nad Dyjí, Znojmo and Bítov.

Kočičí hrádek u Slatiňan, foto IC Slatiňany

There is an opportunity to hike on every corner of the country. For a more hilly and forested experience, head towards Pardubice and the river Svitava. There is an 8 kilometer trail of mostly field and forest paths beginning in Březová nad Svitavou. You can find in this region the Králický Sněžník education trail. It starts from the city of Dolní Morava and follows the yellow path. You will begin in the Morava River Valley and after 9 kilometers you find your self at the top of Králický Sněžník. You can keep going along the red trail for another 5 kilometers, ending at lodge named Návrší. From the town of Slatiňany, you can take an easy 2 kilometers walk to "castle" Kočičí Hrádek. In more or less the same area, near the mountains Orlické hory you can pay an educational visit to the Museum of Hiking, Winter sports and Crafts (Muzeum turistiky, zimních sportů a řemesel) in Deštné v Orlických horách. Here you can learn a lot about glass making in the Orlické hory; domestic textile production; hiking and winter sports in the region, and visit a rare exhibition of washers and irons.

Písek, foto Wikimedia Common

Forest lovers should head south of Prague to the town of Písek. Lots of trees east of the city amongst the 60 kilometers of paths. A nature trail, the Jarník lookout tower a top Kraví hory and the Živec chalet are a few sites you should see.

On the Austrian border, from the town of Šatov you can take a fascinating walk to some former military fortifications. Three former infantry log cabins can be found along the trail, as well as other former Czechoslovakian military outposts.

Heading north to the Polish border and the mountains Jizerské hory will reward real rock climbers, and people who like to observe rock formations. Jizerskohorské bučiny is a national nature preserve offering a forested walk on the steep slopes.

This is a very brief introduction to some of the hiking areas across the country. Mountain enthusiasts should not skip the Krkonoše. Český Ráj is another not to miss location with its beautiful forested paths and amazing rock formations. The best rock labyrinths could be found the rocks in locality Teplice-Adršpach of East Bohemia. South Bohemia and its fish ponds are for lovers of flat walking, while South Moravia offers the more rugged rolling hills of wine country.
