The Czech Republic came into being in 1993, and ever since then it’s become boom time as far as tourism is concerned. And with good reason too- because the country has virtually something for everybody. If you’re a night bird, and keen on being entertained, Prague is perfect; if you’re mad about history and want to visit some of the best museums, cathedrals and chateaux in Europe, you’ll have plenty to ogle at.

And there are lots of mountains, forests, lakes and rivers for anybody who’s fond of the great outdoors. The country, ever since it became a democracy, has changed considerably- many cities are getting a facelift; the country has become more tourist-friendly; and, on the whole, it’s a good place to spend a vacation, no matter what type.
