Book a holiday home in the Czech Republic and enjoy castles in breathtaking and mystical nature!

The Czech Republic is a holiday destination overflowing with cultural heritage and landscapes with a magical atmosphere! Admire beautiful synagogues in Prague’s Jewish Quarter and discover countless castles in Moravia and Bohemia. Natural highlights that make the land of the Vltava so appealing include the Edmund Gorge and the waterfalls in the table mountains of Krkonoše. A city terrace with views over some of the prettiest historic façades in the entire country can be found in Telč! Are you looking for a varied and affordable holiday? Then booking a holiday home in the Czech Republic is an excellent idea!

Visit the Jewish Quarter Josefov in Prague from a holiday home in the Czech Republic

Situated between the Vltava River and Prague’s Old Town lies a district with a famous reputation: the Jewish Quarter Josefov. With no fewer than five synagogues, the reason is easy to see. Each one is worth visiting, but the Jerusalem Synagogue truly stands out with its colourful façade and charming towers. The interior is just as impressive, with blue wall decorations, chandeliers, and arcades supported by pillars. Another synagogue with a striking exterior is the Jewish prayer house in Spanish style. Decorative patterns cover almost all the interior walls, and the vaulted, richly ornamented ceiling inspires admiration!

Sail and hike through the magical Edmund Gorge

Along the Elbe River between the Czech Republic and Germany lies a hilly landscape of dense forests, towering rocks, and deep river gorges. This region full of mystery remains immensely popular with hikers and nature lovers. A favourite route begins in Hřensko and leads through the gorge of the Kamenice River. Some sections cannot be walked, so you travel partly by gondola boat. Listen to the silence and the sound of the guide’s paddle! Your experience in this river gorge will be a magical adventure you will never forget. From Hřensko, also consider a hike to the rock bridge Pravčická brána, where you’ll enjoy phenomenal views over the Bohemian forest. The nearby castle at Pravčická brána completes the scene, making it an iconic place to visit!

Waterfalls and table mountains in the Krkonoše border region

Another natural area that sparks the imagination is the Giant Mountains of Krkonoše in Bohemia. Here too you’ll admire vast mountain landscapes, but the panoramas are unique thanks to the table mountains, alternately bare and draped with forest. Hikers can look forward to impressive waterfalls, such as the high Zackelfall, which tumbles down almost 30 metres in winding streams. Animal lovers and photographers may also try to spot the wild fox that feels at home in this region. Equally characteristic of the Giant Mountains are the enormous rock formations scattered across forested slopes, along lakes, or in riverbeds.

Discover the forest rocks of Český Ráj from a holiday home in the Czech Republic

If rugged beauty appeals to you, you will certainly want to explore Český Ráj on foot. The charm of this region lies in its contrasts, from gigantic rocks rising above the treetops to rolling landscapes of open fields and wooded hedgerows. One of the most beautiful viewpoints over the patchwork countryside is the ruin of Trosky. Well-preserved castles are also plentiful! For a castle visit combined with panoramic views, head to Hrubá Skála, especially for its restaurant and scenic terrace.

Visit the romantic town of Telč

Nature and historical heritage form a perfectly balanced mix in the Czech Republic. Besides Prague as a destination for a multi-day city break, you can easily find other highlights for a day trip. One small town worth mentioning is Telč, where colourful houses with arcades line the main square for a long stretch. Relax on one of the terraces, such as Café Oliver, where you can enjoy generous ice cream sundaes! As the day progresses and the town is bathed in photogenic afternoon light, a stroll through Telč becomes yet another highlight of your visit. Be sure to walk across the pedestrian bridge over the town lake, where monumental buildings and churches are beautifully reflected in the still water.

Hluboká Castle: Neo-Gothic romance along the Vltava

The range of cultural attractions in the Czech Republic includes an astonishing number of castles, often perched on hilltops or high riverbanks. A truly unique excursion from your holiday home in the Czech Republic is Hluboká Castle, a Neo-Gothic masterpiece resembling England’s Windsor Castle. The many crenellated walls and towers are striking. The surrounding park combines leafy natural scenery with geometric landscaping. From the roof, you can admire its beautiful setting along the Vltava River!

Lednice Castle in Moravia

Another castle competing in beauty is Lednice Castle in Moravia. In some ways it resembles Hluboká Castle, but it stands out with its soft yellow exterior. Flower-filled gardens surrounding it make the castle a romantic picture to behold! If you enjoy taking your time on a scenic walk, this attraction in Moravia is an excellent choice. Not only is the French-style park impressive, but you can also stroll through the immense “back garden.” The estate stretches far beyond the castle, with forests, open landscapes, and a park lake.

Good to know: on the estate, you can watch demonstrations with birds of prey from a grandstand.

Rent a holiday home in the Czech Republic

Anyone searching for sights in the Czech Republic will be overwhelmed by its monumental beauty! From Prague’s Jewish Quarter and the colourful town of Telč to Neo-Gothic castles such as Hluboká and Lednice. The mountain landscapes of Krkonoše and Český Ráj are impressive enough for a multi-day exploration—ideal for anyone who wants to trade cultural splendour for powerful natural scenery while staying in a holiday home in the Czech Republic. Start with an idyllic gorge hike and gondola ride, enjoy waterfalls and towering rocks in the forests, and finish with walks through the hilly patchwork landscapes of Bohemia!
