Centuries of historical development here have left behind often striking examples of all famous architectural styles. Romanesque and Gothic buildings, Renaissance and Baroque palaces and Art Nouveau buildings captivate the beholder. Not without reason was the historical area of Prague placed on the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage. From Prague you will take experiences with you to last a lifetime.  Among the unforgettable impressions is especially the view from the bank of the Vltava of the panorama of the Prague castle, long ago the seat of Czech kings, dominated by the Gothic slenderness of St. Vitus cathedral
 
You will live in first-class hotels with perfect service and will always find sufficient opportunity for entertainment as well as a favorable setting for your commercial activities. For the less demanding there are numerous other accommodations including cozy pensions and campsites.  
The rich cultural life of the city culminates every year in the international musical festival of the Prague Spring, which takes place in excellent concert halls and old Prague gardens. And it is possible that you will take pleasure in the crooked alleys of old Prague and in the typical little pubs of the old town. The area surrounding Prague is also worth seeing, particularly the valley of the Vltava river with its reservoirs as well as the nearby chateaux (for example Karlstejn, Krivokl't, and Konopiste).

Those interested in history should not miss Kutna Hora, at one point the second most important town in the Czech lands, with its remarkable Gothic buildings.
 
Another one of the historical jewels which was placed on the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage is Cesky Krumlov, a unique historical town in the picturesque landscape of southern Bohemia. Once the seat of a powerful Czech aristocratic family, today it is one of the most important European historical areas, with a Gothic-Renaissance chateau and a preserved collection of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque buildings. The town is not only famous for its summer theatre with rotating audience, but also for its Southern Bohemia Music Festival.
 
Situated in a landscape of forests and fish ponds is the third of the Czech towns registered on the UNESCO list of world cultural heritage: A late Gothic fortress, gates and a number of Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque houses are preserved in the historical center of the town. In the Telc chateau with its beautiful garden are valuable collections including a gallery of the outstanding Czech painter Jan Zrzavy.
 
Among the most important tourist destinations in the Czech Republic, according to Baedeker, the world famous tourist guide, are the Cesky Raj (Czech Paradise), a landscape with rocky towns, pleasant forests, and numerous castles and chateaux; Olomouc, a city with Romanesque, Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture; and the Moravsky Kras, with its Macocha chasm and underground Punkva river.
