Prague is one of the largest cities in Central Europe, and it has served as the capital of the historic region of Bohemia for centuries. This magical city of bridges, cathedrals, gold-tipped towers and church domes is mirrored on the surface of the swan-filled Vltava River.

Almost undamaged by WWII, Prague's medieval center remains a wonderful mixture of cobbled lanes, walled courtyards, cathedrals and grand church steeples – all in the shadow of her majestic 9th-century castle.

Highlights of this trip will include the magnificent Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, St. Vitus’s Cathedral, Brno city visit (with its 18th-century Gothic cathedral and Baroque interior), Ruckl glassworks, Karlstejn Castle, a visit to Cesky Krumlov, a day tour to Kunta Hora and Sedlec, and a Czech folklore dinner show.

Prague is a modern and vibrant city, full of energy, music, cultural art, fine dining and special events. This “Golden City of the Hundred Spires” is regarded by many as one of Europe's most charming and beautiful cities.
