Bohemian Switzerland National Park: Named by two painters who first likened the area to distant Switzerland, the beauty of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park has drawn artists and tourists for centuries. The stunning landscape of sandstone peaks, carved gorges and dense woodland can be reached in just under two hours when driving from Prague. The most famous feature here is Pravcicka Brana; the largest natural stone bridge on the European continent. However, this is just one of the incredible sandstone formations visitors can find when exploring the park’s extensive network of trails.
Český Krumlov: The UNESCO World Heritage site of Český Krumlov has become an enormously popular destination for tourists in the Czech Republic. This charming location can be reached in approximately two hours then driving from Prague, and is well-worth visiting. Situated on the banks of the River Vltava, the town was built around a 13th-century castle with Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque elements. The jewel in the crown of this central European region, this architecturally stunning medieval town’s heritage has remained intact — and has evolved over more than five centuries.
Terezín: Just one hour’s drive from Prague lies Terezín, a sleepy little country town with a dark past. The former garrison situated here was used as a refugee centre for Czechs fleeing the Nazi advance. When the rest of the country soon fell into Hitler’s clutches, Terezín became a Gestapo prison, a Jewish ghetto and then a deportation camp sending trains directly to Auschwitz. A truly moving experience, the memorial tour offers a poignant reminder of those horrific times and also tells a story of life, death and the prisoners’ secret celebrations of culture, politics and faith.
- Czech Republic doesn’t have any toll roads. Instead, your car needs to have a sticker attached to the inside of the windscreen. This should be provided by your car hire company. If one isn’t supplied, you can buy one from petrol stations, border crossings and some post offices.
- If you see a tram stopping, don’t try to overtake it from the inside. This is where passengers get on and off, and it is illegal to overtake on this side.
- In Stockholm you can only park on the right-hand side of the road, unless the road is one-way.
