Between Bohemia and Moravia, this small region is surprisingly rich in culture and history, with three UNESCO world heritage sights.
Picturesque historic towns (including two UNESCO sights) in peaceful landscape with many ponds. On the border with Germany is located the largest national park in the Czech Republic.
Region with the Czech highest mountain range Krkonoše and couple of historic sights.
Fascinating landscapes as well as picturesque castles and chateaux.
Famous for Pilsen beer and spa towns.
The central part of the Czech Republic with the capital Prague.
Austria's gateway to Switzerland and Liechtenstein sometimes feels more Swiss than Austrian, owing in part to the Alemannic dialect of its inhabitants.
The former capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire is brimming with impressive architecture, cultural institutions and opportunities to explore the cuisines of Austria and pretty much everywhere else. An imperial and cosmopolitan capital in a small homogeneous country, it forms a marked contrast from the rest of Austria.
Less touristy and more down-to-earth than some other parts of the country, Upper Austria offers great lakes for swimming, mountains for hiking and affordable skiing as well as Austria's third-largest city, Linz.
