Czechia extends far beyond Prague’s deservedly famous bridges and castle, encompassing the spa towns and glass-making traditions of Bohemia, the underrated cities and wine country of Moravia, and countless smaller destinations that reward travellers willing to venture beyond the capital. From Prague neighbourhood guides covering Malá Strana, Vinohrady, and the reborn Karlín district to practical details on where to drink away from tourist traps and discovering David Černý’s provocative public art, these guides help you experience the Czech capital with depth and understanding.
Beyond Prague, explore Bohemia’s fairytale towns like Český Krumlov (though there’s no direct train, annoyingly), the elegant spa architecture and Moser glass factory tours in Karlovy Vary, and the bone church at Sedlec Ossuary in Kutná Hora. Meanwhile, Moravia offers compelling reasons to travel east — from Brno’s surprising attractions including the Mendel Museum (birthplace of genetic science) to the baroque beauty of Olomouc and the aristocratic extravagance of Lednice. These articles provide honest insights into train connections, day trip feasibility, and which destinations genuinely deserve your time across both historic regions — covering everything from the Kafka Museum and Prague’s Jewish Quarter synagogues to the practical realities of exploring a country that’s far more interesting than most visitors imagine.
