Eastern and Central Europe (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

CZECH REPUBLIC 229

The magnificent Town Hall on Horní náměstí, Olomouc

One of Europe’s most beautiful capital cities, Prague is

the highlight of a visit to the Czech Republic. However,

the Bohemian countryside is home to dozens of well-

preserved castles and historic towns such as České

Budějovice. Most of these sights can be visited on a

day-trip from Prague, and are easily reached by good

public transport. Slightly further afield, Český Krumlov

merits at least a couple of days’ exploration.
