A captivating tour of this beautiful region...
We are pleased to offer a tour of the beautiful region of Bohemia. Originally an independent Kingdom, it is a land of stunning castles, intriguing caves and meandering rivers that cross attractive countryside.
Three-star hotel in an attractive location We stay in an excellent hotel in Beroun, an attractive town at the confluence of the Berounka and Litavka Rivers. It provides an excellent base for our tour – in one direction there is easy access to Prague and in the other it is the gateway to two regions that have been protected for their natural beauty. We use our own luxury, air-conditioned coach to explore the highlights of Bohemia.
Exploring Southern Bohemia Not far from Beroun are some of the most impressive natural features of Bohemia: the stalagmite caves at Koneprusy. Extending over 2km, and across three levels, these offer the visitor a chance to discover a completely different world.
We also visit Karlstejn Castle, in a beautiful location, surrounded by vast areas of untouched forest. Here, Charles IV locked himself away from the world with his jewels.
Secret tunnels and magnificent castles We visit Tabor, a picturesque town whose history is inextricably linked with the Hussites. It has secret tunnels that are still used today.
Deep into Southern Bohemia, the impressive castle at Hluboka, was remodelled in the 19th century in the style of Windsor Castle. Its stunning woodwork and beautifully decorated rooms are well worth exploring.
Around 700 years ago, Kutna Hora rivalled Prague as Bohemia’s seat of power. Its wealth was based around a silver mine, and this beautiful medieval town is now on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
Exploring the picturesque, royal city of Prague The heart of Bohemia is the magnificent city of Prague. Virtually undamaged by World War II, it is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. A guided tour enables us to discover Prague’s hidden gems and famous landmarks, as well as providing us with interesting historical background to the country.
Standing above the Old Town, the majestic cathedral and 9th century castle provide stunning views over the city. Down below, Good King Wenceslas sits astride his horse in the square named after him.
A city full of intrigue and atmosphere On Charles Bridge the vibrancy of the modern city meets with its interesting history, as a wide range of local artists and musicians share their talents with the world passing by.
A pleasant lunch at a riverside café, a stroll through cobbled streets, or a carriage ride through the Old Town are just some of the ways to soak up the atmosphere of the captivating city of Prague. For a relaxed way of gaining a different perspective on the city you might choose to take a cruise down the river.
Excellent accommodation in a Best Western hotel The three-star Hotel Grand is part of the Best Western chain and offers en-suite rooms for two. At the end of each day we will return to our hotel for an evening meal and an interesting Bible talk.
