8 things to do in Czech Republic

After almost nine months wandering the streets of this country I think I'm sufficiently trained to give you some tips. It doesn't matter if you come to visit, for a season or to live, I wanted to join in an article a little bit of everything, both habits, touristic visits as unavoidable things. I hope you like the reading as I liked write it.

1. To visit  Prague

The capital of the country and without doubt, Prague is a jewel, a city that still culture and history to equal parts, which follows interculturality by their pores, very large and at the same time It's very small, the great little Prague, day dazzles but at night it shines even with more force. A perfect city for a summer festival or a White Christmas, without a doubt, one of the best destinations in the Czech Republic.

2. Bicycle Routes and hiking

In this country, the sport has much presence, so it doesn't matter the moment of the year in which you travel to the Czech Republic, you will always have some sports plan. The more usual for the months of the year the weather permitting are the bike routes,  long roads and short trails for sundays. In the article 8 differences between Czech Republic and Spain I spoke on different links to the transport by the country that It will be so useful to know these routes.

3. Ski

If we are in the middle of winter is the best plan to go skiing or snowboarding. For this option I'd recommend that the cordillera Krkonoše which houses crowd of c (Chata) and the ski resort considered permanently as the best in the country: Špindlerův mlýn, but if you convention hall in Prague without much time to get around, you rely on the Šumava station in en Šumava Špičák, complex toward where a bus leaves from Prague on Saturday.

4. To visit Český Krumlov

If there is a charming city in Czech Republic, this is Český Krumlov, it is a small city, which is part of the UNESCO world heritage site, and that grows disorderly around the precious meanders which makes the Moldava river. A medieval city alleyways and secret corners, a monumental and cultural city. I gave to you a more personal view of the city at the entrance of visit to Český Krumlov, trip during my on-arrival training.

Finally, whenever you have time, visit Rožemberk, a small village where is the castle of the same name that refers to the lords of Rožemberk that made of Český Krumlov your city of residence.

5. Thermal bath in Karlovy Vary

We are talking about a beach resort town located in the region of Bohemia, the largest in the country where is Prague, famous for its glass. The name of the city is given by its founder Charles IV. The city counts with thirteen major hot springs and hundreds more smaller and relevance but equally healthy. As is typical in Czech Republic, has its own style to make the Czech  liquor Becherovka by excellence called inseparably.

To stand out in this beautiful city, is held here annually in the month of July, the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival, one of the oldest in the world.

6. Travel in Moravia

If you're more than road and blanket, I recommend the southeast of the country, in the area of Moravia, you can travel from the brewery to the wine factory, see monuments of the UNESCO as the palace and gardens of Kroměříž, the baroque column of the plague in Olomouc or functionalist villa Tugendhat in Brno. You will not be disappointed, it is also an area where there are many traditional events and where you can learn more about the czech musical and gastronomic culture, recommended the regions of Slovácko y Valaquia.

Finally, I recommend a visit of the city as is the ancient empire of the Bata shoe company, the city of Zlin and visit a free air to the Karst of Moravia with more than thousand caves and the Macocha ravine.

7. Try all czech beers that you can.

If something is famous Czech Republic is to be the country of beer, not only have lots of variety but the type of beer is completely different than the rest of countries, very slight to the stomach at the same time that a pleasure for the palate.

If there is a city which is known for it beer is Plzen (Pilsen), but you don't confuse the advertising, each region, small towns or even restaurants that dot the routes of cyclists make their own beer giving rise to a multitude of different flavors and one of the best habits to the remembrance is collect coasters.

Personally I recommend Radegast (beer in the area of Ostrava), beer of Konicek, Staropramen, Svijany, certanly Budweiser and Kozel. Even if you're very friky of beer and its properties you can take baths in it in various places, which I know is in the region of the Beskydy Mountains, the SPA of  Štramberk beer.

8. Study in Brno

If once you've visited the country you've fallen in love, as becomes very regularly and you are young you can opt for one of the best reasons for the move to the Czech Republic, studying in Brno! University City and excellence, where young people come together for Erasmus and other international projects, such as the European Voluntary Service, you will not be disappointed in ambience, influx of people and a very good views of the city from its Špilberk Castle.

City very centrally located within the country and incredibly well connected for travel, both domestically and abroad, will not leave you indifferent. It does not have to the best the monumental importance than Prague, nor of course its size, but if a special charm, Brno is breathed life.
