With the way the last year has been, we are all looking forward to better days where we can pack our bags and go back to planning vacations and exploring the world a little more.

But what inspires us to travel and explore a country? Is it the round the clock luxurious amenities or the breath-taking scenic beauty or the adrenaline adventure sports or the taste bud tickling food and traditions?

If staying home all this while has reignited your wanderlust, then you’ll love this selection of activities to do in the Czech Republic. Well no matter what your travel preference is the Czech Republic is going to have you spoilt for choice.

  1. Have you ‘Czeched’ out Czech’s UNESCO Heritage sites

Did you know that there are less than a thousand heritage sites in the world and out of those 16 of them are in the Czech Republic? The historic town centres of ?eský Krumlov, Tel?, Prague and Kutná Hora with St Barbara’s Cathedral, the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape Area, the Column of the Holy Trinity in Olomouc, the Tugendhat Villa in Brno, Vysocina boasts three UNESCO Heritage Sites, the most of any Czech region: The historic centre of Telc, the Pilgrimage Church of Saint John of Nepomuk and the Jewish Quarter of Trebic and the list goes on.

Discovering and exploring these UNESCO World Heritage sites, are pretty much the creme dela creme of Czech history, design, and architecture. Czech Republic takes real pride in its UNESCO heritage sites.

  1. Enjoy Pitcher Perfect Moments when in Czech.

Czech Republic is a haven for beer lovers. The Czech Republic is home to one of Europe’s oldest and proudest brewing traditions. Visit the Budweiser Budvar brewery (the original Budweiser), where Czech lager has been lovingly crafted for 125 years. The largest beer event in the Czech Republic is the Czech Beer Festival Prague usually held in the month of May. You will have the chance to taste more than 70 brands of Czech beer, always served in top quality glass pitchers where girls and boys in Czech national costumes will be waiting to greet you and immerse you in the traditons and culture of this charming country.

If you are still thirsty and want to try something different then head on over to our beer spas where you can soak and relax in the tub of beer with drinking beer from the tap. As we mentioned earlier Czech will leave you spoilt for choice.

  1. Get Totally blissed out at the Spas.

Spa days are a necessity year-round, but they’re especially fun when you are on vacation and feel the need to zen out and relax and what better way to do so than with a day – or two, or five – of self-care? Just west of the capital is the green and sedate spa town triad of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské Lázn? and Františkovy Lázn?, which comprises the West Bohemia Spa Triangle which is one of the few places that still retains the grandeur of the spa’s golden age. The spas make use of the mineral-rich spring water in the area that is said to possess medicinal properties.

So this year, make sure you take time to #CzechOutandTreatYourself to being pampered and create an experience for all your senses in a world of elegant spa houses, exquisite, blossom-filled gardens and high culture that Czech Republic has to offer.
