Hilly with historic castles, romantic valleys and languid lakes, holidays in the Czech Republic are picture postcard perfection with an edgy turbulent history. The Republic is in central Europe. It’s only about one-quarter the size of the British Isles and is dominated by the two regions of Bohemia and Moravia. Bohemia has the slightly more dramatic landscape with forests, Disney-esque castles, mountains and the country’s famous trio of spas. Moravia has Brno – the Czech Republic’s second largest city and is better for local colour and folk traditions. Its countryside is slashed by dramatic canyons and caves.
