More about Czech Republic

MORE ABOUT THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Gregor Samsa turned into a bedbug in Prague. David Cerny floated a giant pink hand down the Vltava. It also boasts the largest, and arguably the most beautiful castle in the world. The Czech Republic is a fairytale dreamland whose exemplary culture, taste for the surreal, and – let’s be honest – world-leading beer bring it back to reality. It is, by far, one of our favorite low-key destinations in the world, whether you’re searching for luxury vacations in wild Bohemia or surprising nights in its scintillating cities.

A REALLY BIG CASTLE.

Prague Castle – bristling in all its rococo glory atop Petrin hill – dominates the skyline above this historic city. It is a romantic and rambling experience to climb among its ornament-thick nooks and sky-scraping buttresses on a private walking tour, before chowing down on well-earned dumplings and ice-cold pilsner.

FROM LUXURY TO LENNON

Prague’s Royal Route affords one of the best ways in which to soak up the charming and often opulent grandeur of old Prague, tracing the coronation route of Czech Kings to the luxury surrounds of the St. Vitus Cathedral, or the lesser-visited Town Quarter, which leads to the Instagram-famous John Lennon Wall.

HOTELS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

Its iconic concrete prefabs - known as panelaki - are today scattered amongst the opulent houses of old-world Mala Strana and the rich, rococo luxury of the city’s fairytale center. You can enjoy a view of concrete and candelabras from one of the city’s most lavish hotels.
