The Czech Republic's history dates back to the 5th century AD when it is said that Slavic tribes from the Vistula basin settled in what is known as today's three regions of Silesia, Moravia, and Bohemia. Bohemia is known for its magnificent romantic castles and natural beauty with winding rivers and forests. While Moravia and Silesia are like walking back in time to experience living folklore with handicraft traditions. While each region has its unique heritage, history, and more. There is too much to mention this time around. Here is just a small selection of what not to miss when you visit.
Ostrava
Once known as the black heart of the Czech Republic, with its industrial history - Ostrava today it couldn't be any further from that. There are great places to visit including the Vitkovice complex, science and art centres. It's a great place to base yourself and your family to see some of the stunning surrounding areas.
