Few travelers venture beyond Prague to experience the Czech Republic's many cultural riches and offbeat delights. We'll get you started with a whirlwind of Art Nouveau, local pub music, stinky cheese-tasting, river-rafting, and peat-bathing in places like Olomouc, Moravsky Krumlov, Telc, Trebon and Konopiste. We'll also tour a remarkable memorial to the holocaust in Terezen, and the charming castle town of Cesky Krumlov. Get more of Rick's travel details online.

For lots more information, check out our best-selling "Rick Steves' Prague & the Czech Republic" guidebook — or join us on one of our free-spirited tours in Europe.

Video Excerpt: Czech Republic: Bohemia And The Time-Warp Town Of Cesky Krumlov

Above: The enchanting town of Cesky Krumlov — buried in the hills of Bohemia, lassoed by its river and dominated by its castle — feels lost in a time warp. Its delightful Old Town of shops and cobbled lanes, characteristic little restaurants, and easy going canoeing options, makes it a favorite with tourists.
