Only a short journey from Prague, Sedlec Ossuary is one of Europe’s best bone churches. When they purchased the monastery in 1870 the Schwarzenberg family granted a local wood carver permission to decorate using the bones in the crypt. The bones were used to make hauntingly intricate garlands, chandeliers, and even the Schwarzenberg family crest.

Since 925, Czech kings and queens have been coronated at St. Vitus Cathedral. It remains Prague's largest and most important religious site. As the home to treasures such as the 14 century mosaic of The Last Judgement or Alfons Mucha's Art Nouveau stained glass, St. Vitus is one of the richest cathedrals in Central Europe.

Easily reachable from Prague, Karlovy Vary is the ideal place for a relaxing day trip. Due to its many thermal springs, Karlovy Vary has been a popular spa town since the 19th century. After you’ve relaxed in one of its excellent spas, you can stroll along one of several beautiful colonnades or observe the Pramen Vridlo geyser.

As one of the most important cultural institutions in the Czech Republic, Prague Castle is naturally at the top of any to-do list and is celebrated with a UNESCO status. Since its construction in 880, Prague Castle has been the world's largest castle complex. With so much to explore, you could easily spend a full day here.

For a fabulous day out, catch the train from Prague to Tabor or stop en route to Cesky Krumlov. Now a sleepy village, Tabor was once the headquarters for the most radical wing of the Hussite movement. Today you can visit the museum of Hussite history, explore centuries old underground tunnels, or sip coffee in Tabor’s pretty town square.
