The cultural heritage in the Czech Republic has roots from Roman to Baroque, from Romanesque to Renaissance through the 19th century, to Art Nouveau and Cubist trends. The capital, Prague, justifies the fact that it is one of the most popular destinations in Europe. Stunning architecture from Gothic cathedrals and Baroque palaces to the Art Nouveau cafés and Cubist villas demonstrate all the influences from across the ages, and the lively atmosphere make the city a pure delight for all those who visit. The Bohemian countryside also will seduce you both perfect for incentives with forests and hills lending themselves to outdoor activities but also for the Bohemian Spa towns and the cultural visits in the well-preserved medieval towns and castles across the country.
