Czech Travel Guide, my blind date said this is the place that made her cry
Once during a blind date, we talked about traveling and mentioned Prague, my date said it was a city that made her want to cry because it was just too beautiful. I think so too, Prague is filled with red rooftops, the statue-lined Charles Bridge, exquisite wall murals, and Kafka's blue little house, everywhere you can see mole and Švejk graffiti. It's indeed excessively beautiful.
Looking through photos, let's talk about Czech tourism:
1. Prague, there's so much to tell about this place, the first thing that comes to my mind is 'The Unbearable Lightness of Being'. Born in Prague, Charles IV was once the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and he vowed to build the world's most beautiful city, hence the construction of landmarks such as St. Vitus Cathedral, Charles University, Charles Bridge, etc. Prague is suitable for walking tours, as the Old Town is not very large. Go to the square on the hour to see the Astronomical Clock strike the hour; it only lasts a few seconds, but the story is captivating, with the appearance of the twelve apostles of Jesus, the old man's sigh, and the skeleton's warning that death awaits us all. Two days are enough for Prague, the street murals are exceptionally beautiful.
2. CK Town, usually, a trip to the Czech Republic is Prague + CK, but if you ask a Czech about CK, he might not know, you should say Český Krumlov. It is known as the world's most beautiful small town, a location for many films and TV shows, picturesque at every step, or you can take a boat tour. It's best to spend at least two days here, as you'll miss a lot of beautiful spots if you're on a tour.
3. Hluboká Castle, a popular destination for tour groups. I stayed there for one night, and during dinner, they told me quite a few ghost stories. At night, staying alone on the lower floor, the lights went out halfway, the oil paintings on the walls seemed lifelike, and the bed faced a mirror... The Czech Republic is known as the 'Land of a Thousand Castles', with perhaps the highest number and density of castles in Europe.
4. Třeboň, if you make it here, you're already among the few. It's 30 kilometers from Hluboká Castle, mainly to see the castles of the Luxembourg family. Outdoor enthusiasts can rent bicycles to cycle around the lake. I've also heard interesting stories here, like why there were no female chefs in the Middle Ages, because they feared she might hide silverware in her body and take it away.
5. Pilsen, although it's the Czech Republic's second-largest city, it's quite rundown, resembling the old Soviet Union from thirty years ago. However, prices here are more than half cheaper than in Prague. Pilsen is most famous for its Beer Museum, and people here drink beer even more fiercely than the Germans, beer lovers surely know about Pilsner beer. The old Škoda factory is also here.
6. Generally, for a Germany-Czech-Austria tour, you can take a train from Nuremberg, Germany, to Pilsen or Prague, then to CK, and from CK you can share a ride to Salzburg, Austria. There are many carpool options in CK, to Venice, Hallstatt, etc., just look up the information to see how to get there. By the way, Nuremberg's sausages are quite famous.
7. Czech glass products are very famous, they are also sold domestically at high prices. It's better to buy them locally. When we passed through the small town of Tábor, we bought some.
