Holiday home in the Czech Republic

What to do in the Czech Republic?

During your holiday in the Czech Republic you have many opportunities to undertake fun activities! So it is highly recommended to visit the capital Prague! Prague has a compact center so that all sights are within walking distance. In the old town of Prague you will come across a lot of sights such as the Jewish quarter, Charles Bridge and the astronomical clock.

Did you know that Pilsner (pilsner) was first brewed in Pilsen, Czech Republic? The beer that we often drink in the Netherlands was therefore first brewed in the Czech Republic. There are many different breweries in the Czech Republic, most of which you can also visit to see how the lager is made!

There are also many possibilities for the active ones among us! This way you can enjoy the beautiful nature. In our opinion, the Bohemian Paradise takes the crown here, the official name of this area is Český Ráj. The nature park is known for the many rock pillars that you encounter, these were created by centuries of erosion. The golden path runs through the park, this path is 119 kilometers long in total and consists of several shorter hiking trails. This way you don't have to cover the entire 119-kilometer hiking trail, which makes a difference! The shorter trails are about 20 kilometers long, which is a lot easier to do.

You can also get on a bike, the Czech Republic is a beautiful cycling country with a varied landscape. You can cycle along the many rivers, you have hilly regions and there are also several wine regions that you can cycle along. So while cycling you will encounter a lot of beautiful nature.

Culinary journey through the Czech Republic

The food and drink in the Czech Republic is often a combination of German, Austrian and Hungarian cuisine. You will therefore quickly come across a schnitzel or goulash on the menus. The portions are often large and in the Czech Republic they are real meat lovers, in addition to these dishes, half a liter of lager is often served. This is also logical because, as we have already mentioned, pilsner originated in the Czech Republic.
