Fans of old architecture and long excursions to castles, museums and other interesting places will be appreciated by Czech cities. The most popular of them, of course, the capital is Prague with its medieval castles, bridges and streets, but Brno, Ostrava, Pilsen and others are no less interesting. Each of them has its own architectural monuments and, not least, local small breweries. Especially famous for the Ostrava beer, which has long been known outside the Czech Republic.
Special attention is paid to the South Bohemia region (south of Prague). This is a land of not only beautiful nature, dense forests, meadows and lakes, but also numerous medieval castles. The most famous of them are Český Krumlov, as well as the village of Goliašovice, where you can see rare examples of wooden architecture.
Czech health resorts are concentrated in the west of the country. These are the famous Karlovy Vary, and Františkovy Lázně, and Mariánské Lázně, and Kynžvart. It is in this region that the largest amount of mineral springs with the most diverse chemical composition is beaten. The range of curable diseases here is quite wide, so the balneological resorts of the Czech Republic are also popular outside the country.
