my background is largely czech, which is why i wanted to visit there. in sept 2007 my boyfriend and i began to plan a trip through europe in the spring of 2008 and we included the czech republic. i researched my family history on my mother’s side and was able to track down to the farmhouse in tiny town where they came from. visited: Brno, Prague, Terezin, Kutna Hora, Tabor, Pilsen, Klatovy, Smrzovice. it’s cold in spring! Kutna Hora has a cool bone chandelier; Pilsen had a relaxed inviting feel; Klatovy had a great feel as well, and some catacombs which was bizarre. it’s still an affordable country. make sure to bring a phrase book.

Out of all Europe, this was a my favorite place. The food, the people, and the sites.Make sure you have a translator. It’s a tough language

We’re talking about going to see our friends from HC3 in July! I’m SO excited!!! :)
I had a vivid dream about going to the czech rep and i would love to visit someday
my german teacher is organizing a trip to germany, austria, and the czech repulic, and out of all of those i’m most looking forward to the czech republic!! ah….but it might be too expensivee =(
I, obviously, want to see Prague, but I would also love to see the rest of the country, especially the more rural areas.
def. visit Czesky Krumlov. Stay at Hostel Skippy. A great place. Affordable.

Prgaue is good but their is life outside of the city. Please visit the smaller cities.
Absolutely worth doing (especially over a decade ago with the insane post-communist exchange rate). Praha was incredible. My friend and I drank and blasphemed like Templars…
