Those in the know, know that Central Europe is still a hidden secret in many ways. And one of the most beautiful and modern is Prague, in the Czech Republic. If you have not explored this part of Europe, then you are missing a treat.
The Czech Republic is not a geographically large country, but it has a rich and eventful history. From time immemorial, Czechs, Germans, Jews and Slovaks, as well as Italian stonemasons and stucco workers, French tradesmen and deserters from Napoleon’s army, have all lived and worked here, all influencing one another.
For centuries they jointly cultivated their land, creating works that still command respect and admiration today. It is thanks to their inventiveness and skill that this small country is graced with hundreds of ancient castles, monasteries and stately mansions, and even entire towns that give the impression of being comprehensive artifacts.
The Czech Republic contains a vast amount of architectural treasure, as well as beautiful forests and mountains to match.*
