A short guide about Czech Republic
Situated approximately in the geographical centre of Europe the Czech Republic is a landlocked country, sharing its borders with Germany, Poland, Austria, and Slovakia. The highest point of elevation is the peak of Mt. Snezka (1,602 m above sea level) and the lowest point of elevation is near Hrensko, where the River Labe leaves Czech territory (117 m above sea level). The Czech Republic has many beautiful historical cities and towns, mainly in the Southern Bohemia. These places are beautiful with historical centres, buildings, castles, gardens, squares and a great easy atmosphere.
In 1989, after the Velvet Revolution ended the communist regime that ruled former Czechoslovakia, millions of travellers from the west started coming in droves to what is now the Czech Republic. This Central European country really has a lot to boast about especially the Czech capital Prague. It is definitely one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
There are several beautifully preserved medieval cities, most notably Cesky Krumlov and Kutna Hora in Bohemia and Znojmo in south Moravia, near the Austrian border. Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad) is a famous spa town, where you can take curative mineral water treatments while mingling with the rich and famous, many from Russia. Brno, the Czech Republic’s second-largest city is the capital of South Moravia, and the gateway to wineries, rolling hills, hiking trails, and caves galore. Even the less prosperous or industrial cities have plenty to offer; Liberec, Cesky Teaja¬n, Assta nad Labem, Ostrava, Olomouc, and many others, each have a unique charm. Budweiser was originally a Czech beer and beer lovers will find a tour of the Pilsener brewery in Plzen a delight. The country's ancient tradition of brewing beer is still brewed in Cesky Buda jovice, where you'll also find the largest town square in Europe.
