  Prague
  The magic of Prague does not emanate only from the vast number of historical monuments - no matter how remarkable they may be - but rather from the fact that the city as a whole has its own unique appearance and atmosphere. Prague, which extends over a number of hills on both sides of the river Vltava, is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, thanks to its natural location and to more than a thousand years of architectural development. Not only does it have a long architectural tradition, but also a rich artistic, musical and literary history. Over the centuries it has served as an important commercial crossroad and as a meeting place for scientists and artists from around the world. Although the citizens of Prague are very proud of their city’s history, Prague by no means lives only on its famous past. It is a modern European metropolis with all that entails: it offers a wide selection of cultural and sporting activities with clubs for young people as well as bustling commercial avenues and modern administrative centers. Here the past and the present merge in a unique symbiosis. The heart of the city, the Old Town of Prague, boasts a maze of twisting little alleys full of restaurants, cafés and shops. Built more than six hundred years ago, the stone Charles Bridge, with both sides adorned by a gallery of Baroque statues of saints, provides access to the romantic Lesser Quarter and to the Castle area.

  overnight Český Krumlov, 2 nights 4* hotel
  
  
  
  The Southern Bohemian town of Český Krumlov is the second most visited tourist destination after Prague. Its popularity derives from the large number of historical monuments and the beauty of the surrounding countryside. The town nestles in the bends and turns of the Vltava River, which flows almost all around the historical centre. Above the town on a cliff on the opposite riverbank towers a majestic castle that once belonged to the most powerful aristocratic family of the Lords of the Rose. The castle has a colorful Renaissance tower from which there is a beautiful view of the surroundings. The main charm of Český Krumlov, however, comes from the fact that the town as a whole has preserved its old appearance. A person instantly feels as though one has returned a few centuries back in the time. The Baroque castle theatre that has been preserved, along with the original costumes and theatre props, is unique in Europe. Although the theatre is accessible to the public, the number of visitors is limited to protect the theatre.
