INWINTER, VISITORS TO
the pleasant and diverse country
of the Czech Republic can
enjoy active tourism pursuits,
immerse themselves in culture
and history, tuck into amazing
gastronomic experiences and
relax in revitalising spa retreats.
In particular, the Central
Bohemia Region, which encircles
the capital city of Prague, offers
a perfect balance between the
natural, rural atmosphere and
dignified castles and châteaux
of the country, and the urban
delights and cultural and
entertainment programmes
of the city.
Winter sees the Central
Bohemia Region at its most
romantic; the sight of roofs,
treetops, meadows, fields and
roads covered with a layer of
soft, white snow is reminiscent of
stories told around the fire and
fairy tales of old.
The region is renowned
for its rich and varied natural
environment, and so it is little
wonder that many Bohemian
kings and noblemen of the past
used to build their residences
here, many of which are still
open to tourists today.Take the
time out to visit and admire any
of these beautifully preserved
castles and châteaux, which
include Karlštejn, Krivoklát,
Ceský Šternberk, Konopište, and
Kokorín, before sitting down
to enjoy the best of traditional
Czech cuisine and a warming
glass of mulled wine at a cosy
country restaurant.
Named on the UNESCO
list of World Cultural Heritage
sites in 1995, the medieval town
of Kutná Hora remains one of
the most significant sightseeing
destinations in the region, not
least because of its unique GASK
gallery and the architectural gem
that is St Barbara’s Cathedral.
Alternatively, if you simply
want to relax and restore your
strength, head to Podebrady, a
picturesque little spa town only
one hour from Prague. Here,
visitors can enjoy the beauty
of a winter hunt, as the nearby
hunting districts are home to
wildlife including pheasants,
hares, deer, stags, mouflon sheep
and even wild boar.
The Central Bohemia Region
is one of the most pleasant
and interesting areas of the
Czech Republic all year round.
However, it is during winter
that it is at its most peaceful
and tranquil; at which time it
becomes an ideal destination
for any holidaymaker, whether
they are seeking an exciting,
active vacation or simply a quiet
and restful escape.
