Czech Republic

A fairy tale with better beer.

City BreakCultureFestiveCouplesHistoryValue

Prague earns its reputation the moment you first see the castle lit above the Vltava. A hundred spires, Europe’s most beautiful bridge, art-nouveau cafés and cellar pubs pouring the world’s original pilsner — all walkable, all reasonably priced, all somehow more atmospheric in the flesh than in the photographs.

Beyond the capital, Český Krumlov repeats the trick in miniature and the spa towns of Bohemia add colonnaded calm. December turns the Old Town Square into one of the continent’s great Christmas markets; spring and autumn give you the bridge at dawn to yourself.
