The Czech Republic boasts of many monuments on the UNESCO list. Not far from Prague, there is an ancient mining town called Kutná Hora from the 13th century, with a monumental 14th century church of St. Barbara, an Ossuary, and, last but not least, a mint called "Vlašský dvůr", which became a temporary seat of Czech kings.

In Southern Bohemia, on the Vltava river, you can enjoy the PEARL OF RENAISSANCE - Český Krumlov. In this town, there is the second largest castle in Bohemia after the Prague Castle. Among other things, there is a gallery of Egon Schiele, a revolving theater from the baroque era, and a castle garden.

Not far from Český Krumlov and České Budějovice (the town of beer), there is a Southern-Bohemian village of Holašovice in the style of PEASANT BAROQUE. The spirit of the old Bohemian countryside is preserved here.

To the most interesting UNESCO monuments belongs also the unique complex of Renaissance, baroque, and classicist houses - Telč. This picturesque town with its "fairy-tale" castle and square is often used for filming.
