All possible articles on the Czech Republic, coming from a Czech native :) I often tend to write more about destinations far away from my home land, but I plan to reverse that. Who else would give you better tips on the country than a local, right?
See below all my posts on Prague and the rest of the country. More coming up!
Prague in winter is incredibly beautiful. Even if you’re one of those who do mind the cold weather, fortunately, there are still many Prague winter things to do and enjoy. Winter might as well be the best time of year to visit Prague. Franz Kafka loved winters in Prague, probably because the city feels more …
Are you looking for the best tours in Prague? After more than a decade of living in and writing about Prague, I’ve had many friends visit from all over the world as well as a strong community of readers that I’ve advised and guided through this magical and majestic city throughout the years. Along the …
For as long as I can remember, there was no accommodation at the Prague Airport. Then, in 2019, Aerorooms Prague opened! Once I moved out of Prague, I knew I’d want and need to use it. That time has finally come in 2022. I’ve been curious about the Airport Prague Hotel for quite a while. …
The Prague Castle is undoubtedly THE most famous Czech castle. It helps it’s UNESCO-listed and is claimed and confirmed (by the Guinness World Records) to be the largest castle in the world. As is often the case when you’re a local somewhere, you tend to omit the main landmarks and go see them just when …
Summer has finally made its way to Prague so I thought it’s about time I explained what to do in Prague in summer and how we locals actually spend summertime in Prague! You know, Czech Republic is rather cold for the larger part of the year…it’s not necessarily bad, as winter and snow make places …
I’m not saying you should skip Prague! Not at all. But once you take in all of Prague’s beauty, despite the crowds of tourists, you might be ready for a town of a comparable charm, yet full of locals rather than tourists. Welcome to Olomouc, the 6th largest city in the Czech Republic. With Olomouc …
Perhaps you’ve seen photos of one of the most iconic Czech structures – the almighty Ještěd, which is a radio tower and a hotel. Or, without knowing it, you took a glance at Liberec through a TV screen by watching your popular TV show or a movie. The Jizera Mountains in the North of the …
Bohemian Switzerland National Park, located in the Czech Republic (!), is a little-explored gem. Almost unknown to travellers (and even more so to tourists!), it’s an oasis of greenery in the Northern tip of the country. Here are some highlights of the incredible views you can have when going on a hike there. I’ll cover …
Are you visiting Prague and it started raining heavily? Or worse, there’s a snowstorm? If you feel like abandoning your sightseeing plan and wonder what to do in Prague when it rains, you came to the right place. Fortunately, there are a lot of indoor things to do in Prague, no matter whether you come …
I took my first trip to Ceske Budejovice when I was 13 while on a camping trip in the region with my parents. Since that was a looong time ago, the look of the town got totally wiped out of my memory and all I could remember was the shiny tennis racket that my father …
What a revelation! I’ve lived for more than 30 years with the notion that Ostrava is mostly just a dirty polluted Czech city that is hardly worth visiting except from the music festival Colors of Ostrava. But guess what – I found myself in Ostrava for work and fell in love. I think it wasn’t …
I am a breakfast freak and my day must always start with a good breakfast. The workweek is clear – bread and something healthy. But when the weekend rolls in, my obsession with eggs comes to life! I’ve been wanting to write an article about all the mouthwatering breakfasts you can find in Prague and …
As a Prague resident, I’ve got some insider info on what’s new in the city, including the coffee culture. I’ve made a list of cafes that you wouldn’t find in your guidebooks because they all opened less than a year ago. They’re all pretty special and located in or near the city centre. The newest …
