Nestled in the heart of Europe, the Czech Republic is a land brimming with culture, history, and fairy-tale architecture. From the cobblestone streets of Prague to the picturesque towns dotting its countryside, this nation captivates travelers with its blend of past and present, tradition and innovation. The Czech Republic is a landlocked country in Central Europe. The country is bordered by Germany to the west, Austria to the south, Slovakia to the east and Poland to the north. Its capital and largest city, with 1.3 million inhabitants, is Prague. The Czech Republic includes the historical territories of Bohemia and Moravia, as well as a small part of Silesia.

A Tapestry of History

The Czech Republic's story is as compelling as it is complex. Born from the rich legacies of Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia, the country has been a significant crossroads for various empires and cultures. Its history spans a millennium, from the Great Moravian Empire through the Bohemian Kingdom, to its modern formation after the Velvet Revolution in 1989. The resilience and spirit of the Czech people echo through the centuries, as they've shaped a nation proud of its heritage and optimistic about its future.

Prague: The City of a Hundred Spires

Prague, the capital, is a city that needs no introduction. Its storied streets tell tales of emperors, artists, and revolutionaries. The Prague Castle complex, the Charles Bridge, and the Old Town Square with its Astronomical Clock are just a few of the must-visit landmarks that make Prague a top destination for history buffs and romantics alike.

Český Krumlov: A Renaissance Jewel

<p>High up on the corner of a building in Pařížská Street is a sculpture of St George and the Dragon.<br />
<br />
<i>Connecting Prague’s the with Old Town Square with the Jewish Quarter, Paris (Pařížská) Street has high-end shopping that rivals the Champs-Élysées in Paris and 5th Avenue in New York City.  This tree-lined shopping paradise has everything from Prada, Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Swarovski, and more to get your high fashion on.  We love how the greenery makes this street feel so peaceful compared to other shopping areas that are more chaotic.<br />
As you reach where Paris (Pařížská) Street and Wide (Široká) Street meet, you’ll notice each corner of the intersection has its own huge castle-like apartment complex.  Starting on the Northwest corner (on your right) is a huge yellow manor which looks like it is straight out of the Middle Ages called The House At Saint George (Široká Street no.11).  This Gothic masterpiece was built in 1905 by Josef Blecha and has tons of fine details.  The centerpiece and namesake of the building is a statue of Saint George slaying the wielding dragon on the corner.  Legend has it that in the 3rd Century Lybia, George defeated the dragon to save the life of a princess who had been chosen as a human sacrifice.  In Medieval times the dragon was also connected as a bringer of the plague.  Above the statue are a series of Medieval crest flags and old world bastions.<br />

<p>Hotels are full of spaces that belong to no one. Corridors, staircases, and quiet corners passed through without a second thought.<br />
<br />
For a moment, Jolana turned this forgotten space between two floors into somewhere worth remembering.<br />
