Vacation rentals in the Czech Republic
The Czech Republic is rich in ancient cultural monuments and historical cities. Those interested in culture will therefore feel particularly at home in a holiday apartment in the middle of Prague or one of the other cities. There are also vacation rentals not far from the national parks, where you will soon be able to reach the hiking trails. In winter, a vacation rental close to the ski resorts is particularly recommended.
Large selection of holiday residencesIn the Czech Republic there are large and small holiday homes, in the country and in the residential districts of the cities. In the mountainous region, a chalet is a particularly luxuriously furnished accommodation that also offers ample space for large families. In addition, you can rent a holiday apartment in the country or a city apartment not far from the most important sights in the Czech Republic.
The vacation rental with the extra serviceParking by car is usually not a problem in rural areas. Many landlords in the Czech Republic offer a shuttle service so that you can easily get to your accommodation without a car. In addition, there are holiday accommodations where breakfast is included. In addition to ski rental, some accommodation providers also provide bicycle or boat rental.

Well-known cycle routes are also those along the Vltava River and marked routes from Prague to Brno, ?eské Bud?jovice or Pilsen.

Top 5 travel tips
The "Golden City", as Prague is often called, is full of architecturally significant buildings, museums and other sights. To visit all the cultural monuments in peace, you should take a few days time. The most famous are the Charles Bridge, the imposing cathedrals such as St. Barbara's Cathedral and St. Vitus's Cathedral, and the Prague Castle, which combines several exhibitions. You can take the way there via winding alleys and narrow stairs to enjoy a magnificent view from above.
2nd Nature Experience Cave VisitThe Czech Republic has more than 2,000 caves, 14 of which are visited by tens of thousands of tourists every year and are sometimes used as backdrops for fairytale films. The best known five caves are found in the Moravian Karst north of Brno, such as the Punkva Caves with the Macocha Gorge or the Katharinen Cave. Also worth seeing are the Sloup-ouvka Caves, the Výpustek Cave and the Balcarka Cave.
3. Fun and variety in the nature and adventure parkThe nature and adventure park tastná zeme in Turnov is a true paradise for families with children. There are lots of attractions such as climbing frames, trampolines, swings and slides. In addition, your children can experience adventures in a replica castle or learn more about the nature of the Šumava in the Geopark. There is also a petting zoo and a maze.
4. Experience customs at first handAn annual event in Vlcnov, which is now even on the UNESCO list of Intangible Cultural Heritage, is the "Ride of the Kings". This is a procession of costumed actors, one of whom is particularly emphasized as a king who carries a flower in his mouth and is not allowed to speak for 24 hours. The origin of this parade is not quite clear. However, it is suspected that this Easter procession is of pagan origin.
5. Don't forget good foodThe cuisine in Moravia and Bohemia is rich, hearty and dominated by meaty ingredients. Famous dishes are roast pork and sirloin with dumplings, cabbage and mushrooms. Traditional meatless dishes are baked cheese and potato pancakes. Also try the delicious pastries, such as colatsches, pancakes and plum dumplings. By the way, beer is the national drink of the Czechs, which is not surprising, as there is a centuries-old beer brewing tradition in this country, as well as some well-known brands, such as Pilsner Urquell and Budweiser.
