Magical Prague, its hundred spires, its castle and its Charles Bridge spanning the Vltava: Czechia begins with an aesthetic shock and carries on well beyond. Český Krumlov curled in its meander, the Sedlec ossuary, the spa towns of Bohemia, the vineyards of Moravia and a beer culture raised to an art. Compact, safe and affordable, this is Central Europe at its densest and most accessible.

The right season
May-June and September show Prague at its best: mildness, long light, open gardens. July-August stay pleasant but busy on Charles Bridge. December has its own charm, Christmas markets and mists on the Vltava. January-February, cold and calm, are the photographers' secret: the city of a hundred spires under snow, with no one around.
Quick guide
The rail network and RegioJet or FlixBus buses link the whole country for a few euros. In Prague, tram and metro run on timed tickets; tram 22 is a guided tour in itself.
The Czech koruna (Kč), not the euro. Withdraw at bank ATMs and refuse dynamic conversion. Cards work everywhere; avoid the exchange offices in the tourist areas.
Czech. English is common in Prague and among the young, German helps elsewhere. "Dobrý den" and "děkuji" always please.
IDOS for every train, bus and tram timetable in the country, Liftago or Bolt for honest taxis, and the PID Lítačka app for Prague tickets.
Characterful hotels in Prague's baroque buildings, family pensions in Krumlov and Telč. Prices climb in central Prague; Vinohrady and Žižkov offer the best compromise.
Clink glasses looking each other in the eye ("na zdraví!"), do not mix your beer and give up your seat on the tram. Taking your shoes off is customary in private homes.
Must-sees
Prague
600 years, thirty baroque statues and the finest view in Prague. At dawn there are only the gulls and the photographers.
Prague
The largest medieval fortress in the world, St Vitus cathedral and the Golden Lane. Allow a full half-day.
South Bohemia
A complete Renaissance stage set in a meander of the Vltava, dominated by its painted tower. UNESCO-listed, enchanting off season.
Kutná Hora
40,000 skeletons arranged into a chandelier, coats of arms and garlands in a Gothic chapel. Strange, unique, unforgettable.
West Bohemia
The great imperial spa town, its colonnades and its hot springs drunk from spouted cups.
Moravia
The most perfect Renaissance square in the country, lined with pastel gabled façades set on arcades. UNESCO, of course.
