Info

visit prague Expats.cz is working with Czech Tourism because it is the main organization for tourist information in the country. Sponsored by the Department of Regional Development, Czech Tourism has a wealth of information for family holidays to romantic getaways. Basically, whatever your interest and budget, Czech Tourism will suggest the ideal trip for you. To say the Czech Republic is rich in history is an understatement. Walk the streets of any city or town here and the eons stand before you. It can rise up in the gothic spires and/or be glimpsed below your feet in the Romanesque cellars. And each building has a story to tell. By visiting the Czech Tourism website you can learn more of these stories. From the national capital Prague to regional towns, famous names both local and international have made their homes in the country or found inspiration for a time. No trip to the Czech Republic is complete without learning these stories and creating one of your own. And Czech Tourism can offer inspiration with its focus on stories. Prague, famed for its wealth of castle and churches, has been the backdrop for some important moments or it has been the home to some of history’s most wellknown names. King Charles IV had Charles University and Charles Bridge built. His future successor Rudolf II made Prague a center of both science and mysticism, inviting the astronomers Tycho Brahe and Johannes Kepler and the alchemists Edward Kelly and John Dee to his court. Arts of all kinds have flourished in the city. Mozart, a native of Linz, once declared “My Praguers understand me” and his opera Don Giovanni was premiered here in 1787 at the Estates Theater. Beneath its ornate filigreed ceiling you can still enjoy Mozart’s operas. The theater was also a key filming location for Miloš Forman’s film about the composer, Amadeus. Another composer with a strong connection to the city is Bedřich Smetana. Many of his works such as The Bartered Bride have special significance. When the National Theater was built, Smetana was asked to lay the foundation stone. After fire destroyed the building and it was rebuilt with donations, Smetana’s opera Libuše featured here. Kafka is the writer whose presence is most strongly felt in the city. Stand in the Old Town Square and you stand where Kafka once stood. Or visit U Kalicha, where Jaroslav Hašek the author of The Good Soldier Švejk wrote. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find yourself feeling inspired and create your own story on your visit. Karlovy Vary, also known as Carlsbad, is renowned across the world for its spas and spa treatments. Many famous guests have come over the centuries to sample its waters. Notable people include Peter the Great, the founder of modern Turkey Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Germany’s famous poet Goethe and the composer Beethoven. With such esteemed people once seeking treatment, you are sure to enjoy some pampering yourself. Many of the country’s famous spas are located in northwest. Apart from Karlovy Vary there is Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně but in fact the country has spas dotted throughout. In the south there is Třebon or in Moravia Blatnice. At many of these places you can discover the benefits of water treatment. Best of all, you can relax and spoil yourself. There is no better way to discover the Czech Republic’s spa culture than by visiting Czech Tourism’s section on spas. Here you will find recommendations for the various spa resorts only with special events. Like so much in the Czech Republic, knowing some of the history can help you appreciate it all the more. And while there why not sample some of the local delicacies? How about roast rabbit with Carlsbad dumplings? Carlsbad dumplings are made from diced rolls. And no visit would be complete without a sip of Becherovka – the famed herbal liqueur. More regional specialties can be found at Czech Specials (czechspecials.cz). The website provides a wealth of information on regional specialties from Black Soup to the pear-filled Wallach Tarts. Along with a description, you will find a recipe and a restaurant where you can sample the cuisine. The Czech Republic has an abundance of natural beauty to be enjoyed year round and again Czech Tourism can help you plan your trip whether it’s a week-long hiking trip or a ski weekend, the Active Holiday section has a variety of tips. The information provided is not limited to destinations. They can help you choose the activity which suits you. Maybe you want a golfing trip or would you prefer some mountain-biking. Whatever you fancy they can provide the information. History, culture, adventure, food and more. The only ingredient missing is you. 16 | expats.cz survival guide www.expats.cz
