Reviews from VirtualTourist Members

Ostrava

by Gili_S

Ostrava is in the far east of the Czech Republic, about 400 km from Prague. The city itself is not of a much tourist attraction as many other old cities in the country but it is more of industrial and business city. However, if you happened to be in the city you will find out that it is excellent place to be and experience the real life, culture and traditional life and food of this country without being ripped off as you will be often in the popular cities. Ostrava is also great area which from here you can explore the rural and mountain areas of Czech, Slovakia and Poland.

Olomouc

by Gili_S

Olomouc is old historical city about 300 km to the east from Prague. The best in this city that you can enjoy culture, architecture, history, food & drinks in Czech style without all the crowd you will have in Prague. So if you have the time while visiting this country, be sure you plan a day visit to Olomouc.

Plzeň / Pilsen

by Gili_S

This city called Plzeň, Pilsen in English and yes, that is the city where they invented the Pilsner beer, so that is just another reason to visit this beautiful city. You can take a day trip to Pilsen from Prague.

Prague

by Gili_S

Obviously Prague is the first in mind when planning to visit the Czech Republic. The Czech historic capital is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe and must see for any traveler. I also recommend 2-3 days for this city to enjoy the beauty, culture and history.

Prague Zoo

by Terje1966

A large zoo in the center of the city. You can spend a whole day here and it is really worth the money.Have copied some of the entrance fees from their website.(2010)Adults 150,- CZK Children 3-15 years, students, retired, handicaped people 100,- CZK Children 0-3 years Free - Groups over 10 persons Discount 10%.A lot of different animals from all over the world like tigers,PolarBears etc.Large and well kept park area.

Pisek

by Veroali

A small town in South Bohemia Pisek (means Sand) offers one rarity. Across a river Otava stands the oldest stone bridge in the Czech republic, even older than Charles bridge. If you look at it, you can see the similarity with Charles bridge. It was probably built in 13. century, we dont know exactly. In 2002 during the flood was the bridge only a bit damaged, althought only the top of statues was seen. Water took one of the statues away. Pisek has also a nice square with fancy town hall and good architecture. Historically valued is the Putimska gate, which used to be a fortification of the town. Recently new buildings were built along the river and I think it looks great

Ceske Budejovice (Budweis) was found in 1265 by the Czech king Premysl Otakar II and has today around 100,000 inhabitants. The original layout of the medieval town survived until today with very few modifications.Among the privileges granted by the King Premysl Otakar II was the right to produce beer. Today, the BUDWEISER beer is well known in the whole world.

Praha /Prague (Prag)

by Leipzig

Slavs settled on the Vlatava River first in 600 AD. It was under the rule of Charles IV (ruled 1346-78) that Prague truly came into its own with building landmarks like Charles University, Charles Bridge and St Vitus Cathedral.Today, Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic. It has a population of about 1.2 million and is located on the Vlatava (Moldau).

Tip Photo
Liberec (Reichenberg)

by Leipzig

The town of Liberec is today an industrial and administrative spot in the north of Bohemia. The town was first mentioned in 1352 and has developed to a trading centre, especially for textiles, in the past centuries. The German border is just 20km north and you feel the German influence in the town - not only in architecture but also in a lot of German tourist who cross the border to refuel their car (gas is 20% cheaper) and to buy a new outfit.Highlight in town are the town hall of 1893 and world's largest collection of glassware.

Tip Photo
Louny (Laun)

by Leipzig

Louny (Laun) is a small town on the Ohre river. It is located in the Bohemian Central Highlands, an idyllic hilly region with vast forests and old vulcanoes. The town is an old merchant's settlement and you still find little wooden houses as well as an amazing 16th century Cathedral.
