Czech Republic
The Czech Republic is still all things to all people. From the pulsing capital Prague to the back-in-time villages of Moravia, from toiling up mountains to lounging in spas, from the world-famous Pilsner to the strains of Smetana and Dvořák, there's an experience to suit every taste.
With its 10.3 million inhabitants the Czech Republic is located in Central Europe and consists of Bohemia, Moravia and part of Silesia. Bordering countries are Austria, Germany, Poland and the Slovak Republic. Prague is the Czech Republic's capital city. Other important cities are Brno, Olomouc, Ostrava and Plzen.
The last 15 years have been turbulent ones in the region. The Czech Republic is a young country, and was formed when Czechoslovakia separated as a result of the opening up of the "iron curtain" that divided Europe. This process has increased international trade, tourism has become a big industry and one can enjoy a general feeling of optimism when visiting the Czech Republic.
