Czech Republic PRAGUE

Visiting

Prague,  Dresden, Cesky Krumlov,

Karlovy Vary, Kutna Hora...

Arrive early enough in Prague to start exploring this beautiful city. Amongst the highlights, delight in viewing the Castle, St. George’s Basilica and the Royal Palace.  Look forward to visiting the Infant Jesus of Prague, famous enough to attract thousands of visitors every year.  Fall in love with the artificially constructed Kampa Island and have a good look at Charles Bridge, a landmark of the city of Prague.

More of scrutinizing the city of Prague, this time the Old part to admire the different architecural buildings amongst them the Gothic Our Lady Before Tyn Church. Try to be at the main square and near the Town Hall on the hour so that you will be amazed by the workings of the astronomical clock. After visiting the Jewish Quarters, time will be set aside for those interested in taking a boat cruise on the River Vlatva.

Spend time at Ceský Krumlov, a town considered the most beautiful in Bohemia and on your way cherish the greenery and the sweet little villages. The same can be said for when you are travelling to the spa town of Karlovy Vary.  Being a spa town, one cannot miss out on visiting the Spa Colonnades. The Maria Magdalene Church is also worth investigating so time would be set aside for it.

This trip will offer you the opportunity to visit a German City, the City of Dresden, a vivid reminder of Florence.  Stand in Theatreplatz and look around to marvel at the Hofkirche, Zwinger Palace and the Semper Opera House, all boasting different magnificent architectures. Prepare yourself to take pleasure in viewing the Procession of the Princes, better known as the  Fürstenzug.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to explore another town on the UNESCO Heritage list, that of Kutná Hora, renouned in medieval times for silver mining. Roam leisurely around the town and stop for a pic or two of elegant palaces, the best being the Italian Court. Proceed with the same pace to Santa Barbara Basilica.  Your trip will not be complete unless you make a stop over at the Sedlec Ossuary. Very simple on the outside, you will encounter a different story on the inside. Do not bother to count the skeletons used in a decorative manner. There are 40,000 of them! The manouvering of such a great number of human skeletons makes this church earn its name as the Bone Church. Change the scene soon after when you start preparing to attend a folklore night, where music and good, traditional food will put you in quite a jolly mood.
