Explore the Lands Beyond the Boundaries of the City of a Hundred Spires

FAQs – Daytrips and Excursions | How it Works

Regular Excursions

Private/Flexible Excursions

Combined Private Excursions

Prague is nicknamed ‘the city of a hundred spires’ for a reason. The numerous sightseeing spots and historical monuments make Prague a wonderful city and a name on the bucket list of most tourists. However, it would be unwise to dwell on the beauties of Prague only and not feast your eyes on the other wonders on offer beyond the boundaries of Prague.

One such wonder is Central Bohemia, rich with history and numerous castles; the former country seats of kings and aristocrats. The healing spas of Western Bohemia are famous, while nearby Terezín sings of the sad history of World War II. Alluring and ancient towns such as Český Krumlov are worth visiting in Southern Bohemia, while closer to Prague, Kutná Hora is another recommended tourist spot.
