There are plenty of things to do but as always, there isn’t always time. Luckily the Czech Republic is a relatively small country, so you can manage to see the essential things in just 7 days. My Czech Republic itinerary consists of all the necessary things you need to see including interesting cities, hikes, castles, and spas.

But the country has also a lot of beautiful nature. In fact, because of natural beauty, the Czech Republic has been a movie location for a lot of movies, including big blockbusters like Narnia or other places. So I decided to dedicate one post to the best hiking places in the Czech Republic. Hopefully, it will inspire you to come and try to see some of them.

Visit a beer town! Day trip to Plzen from Prague http://www.gingeraroundtheglobe.com/day-trip-to-plzen/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=day-trip-to-plzen http://www.gingeraroundtheglobe.com/day-trip-to-plzen/#comments Mon, 30 Dec 2019 11:34:00 +0000 http://www.gingeraroundtheglobe.com/?p=1161 Plzen or Pilsen in English is probably the town you have heard of at some point in your life. Most probably when you have ordered a beer and wanted a “pilsner”. That beer was first brewed here in a town in the Czech republic. Also, a place where I was born. Plzen is just an hour away from Prague which means that Plzen is great for a day trip if you are visiting the capital. Besides, there is plenty of things to do. This is my local guide on things you should most definitely do when visiting Plzen. Day trip

Czech hidden gem – awesome castles to visit http://www.gingeraroundtheglobe.com/czech-castles-to-visit/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=czech-castles-to-visit http://www.gingeraroundtheglobe.com/czech-castles-to-visit/#comments Mon, 23 Dec 2019 09:50:34 +0000 http://www.gingeraroundtheglobe.com/?p=1063 Most of the tourists are visiting mainly Prague and Prague castle. Prague castle isn’t the only fancy mansion in the Czech republic. There is a lot of them. Because of Czech rich history where kings and queens often build several castles, you can now visit more than 100 castles all around Czechia. Of course, some of them are more beautiful and preserved than others, not all of them are open to the public. In my list, you can find mainly these, that you can visit by yourself and where you can get an English guide. Best Czech castles to visit

They are dedicated both for health retreat and to relax as well. These towns usually have some sort of natural mineral water around, that is rich in vitamins and minerals. They are also very often visited mainly by locals, so there aren’t too many tourists and generally, it is not a crowded place and yet, all of the Czech spa towns have a beautiful atmosphere and architecture and like a lot of other towns in Czech republic, they are also quite cheap.

However, there is a lot of cities to visit in the Czech republic. And there is a lot of interesting places all around, so it would be a shame to stay just in Prague. Besides the Czech Republic is a relatively small country, so it is possible to visit most of those cities as a day trip from Prague.
