From Silver Treasures to Noble Residences

From Elegant Hradec Králové to the Fairy Tales of Bohemian Paradise

Many international travellers overlook the Olomouc Region on their way between Prague and the mountains or neighbouring Poland. Those who do are missing one of Czechias most rewarding road trips. This region combines magnificent historic cities, medieval castles, deep caves, legendary mountain landscapes, elegant spa towns and remarkable...

Most travellers associate the Liberec Region with one iconic landmark: Ještěd. Some may also think of skiing or the dramatic sandstone formations of Bohemian Paradise.

Within a few hours of driving, you can explore some of the oldest castles in the Czech Republic, wander through forgotten medieval towns, discover mysterious churches, swim...
