During a visit to the Czech Republic, there are some experiences you simply have to have. Here are ten of them...  Heart(attack)y Fare - In 2008, Prague's Allegro restaurant sparked something of a food revolution when it earned Eastern Europe's first Michelin Star for its fine Italian fare.  The Water Way - Not a beer fan? No problem... try some foul-tasting water instead. The spa town of Karlovy Vary is home to some very famous hot springs (accidentally discovered by none-other than Emperor Charles IV), and since the 1300s these have been used as much for sipping as for soaking.

To the east side of Prague on the banks of the River Labe, the industrial town of Kolín is somewhat nondescript. Nonetheless, it is still a handy stopping off point for anyone travelling from or to Kutná Hora. It also boasts a splendid main square featuring a town hall from Renaissance times, along with the impressive St Bartholomew Gothic Church, the glorious choir, which was created by Petr Parléř.

The Prague Airport Transfer company is reliable, and they offer fixed and fair rates throughout Prague & beyond. The approachable Prague Airport Transfer company claim to, "go the extra mile for you" (fares for round-trips, with waiting times included, for instance Český Krumlov - 3300czk, Kutna Hora -  2550czk, Terezín -1550czk.

According to statistics, this picturesque city has been, not unjustifiably, the second most visited city in the Czech Republic, and since 1992 has been recorded in the List of UNESCO Monuments of Cultural Heritage. It is fascinating indeed to visit the complex of a castle and manor, meandering alleys deep beneath it, and numerous wall paintings, which can be found not only at the manor courtyards.

Many of the country's famous spas are located in northwest. Apart from Karlovy Vary there is Mariánské Lázně and Františkovy Lázně but in fact the country has spas dotted throughout.  Let yourself be pampered in Mariánské Lázně.

This old mining town in the foothills of the Krušné Mountains is a popular ski destination, and is also known for its healing spas. Jachymov also has some good tennis courts and mini-golf facilities. The town offers great possibilities for cross-country skiing, hiking and cycling.

There are a few sights nearby Prague which are definitely out of the ordinary. First of them is Kutna Hora where you can visit Sedlec Ossuary (church decorated with some 40 000 bones) and Czech Silver Museum follwed by Karlštejn Chateau, Konopiště Chateau, Karlovy Vary and Český Krumlov.
