Summer holiday in the Czech Republic

Many people are already thinking about their summer holiday. The Czech Republic is one of our neighbouring countries, so it is easy to reach. A summer holiday in the Czech Republic is right on our doorstep. It can begin within just a few hours. It makes no difference whether you travel by train, plane, your own car or even by bus. A summer holiday in the Czech Republic can be tailored to suit you in every way.

You can never get enough of summer holidays in the Czech Republic. With its castles and fortresses, rivers and forests, the country often seems romantic, breathtakingly beautiful and magical. The Czech Republic boasts vast forests, picturesque landscapes and gentle rolling hills, as well as the Giant Mountains. A summer holiday in the Czech Republic can be a family getaway, a culinary journey through the Bohemian Forest, a trip back in time to South Moravia or a paradise for mountain bikers, hikers, paragliders and cyclists. Cities such as Prague, Pilsen, Karlovy Vary and Liberec are also popular summer destinations. The Czech Republic may not have a sea on its doorstep, but the so-called spa triangle, with its hot mineral and thermal springs, more than makes up for it when it comes to wellness, spa treatments and health. The best-known and most popular spa towns are Karlovy Vary, Františkovy Lázně and the legendary Mariánské Lázně. By the way, although Prague is known as the “Golden City”, Karlovy Vary is said to be the most beautiful city in the Czech Republic—a claim worth investigating during a summer holiday there. Culture, tranquillity and sport draw many people to the Giant Mountains for their summer holiday in the Czech Republic. Active holidaymakers can enjoy around 120 km of marked cycling and hiking trails, along with hotels and holiday apartments in places such as Harrachov, Špindlerův Mlýn and Pec pod Sněžkou. The area around Sněžka has been a Czech national park since 1963, while the Bohemian Forest is Europe’s largest contiguous nature reserve and another fascinating destination for a summer holiday in the Czech Republic. With the Lipno Reservoir, covering around 50 km², the Bohemian Forest also opens the season for water sports enthusiasts and swimmers. And those who take their summer holiday in the Czech Republic towards the end of the season can look forward to a time-honoured grape harvest and distinguished wines in South Moravia, in places such as Lednice and Valtice.
