The
Prague-Vienna
Greenways is a network of hiking trails (some over 100-years-old)
between Prague and Vienna. You can walk or bike between the historic towns
and villages of the region, visit romantic castles, wonder at medieval churches
and monasteries, discover old Jewish sites, all while enjoying some of the most
picturesque countryside in Europe.
Culture
If any country is proud of its heritage and culture, it is The Czech
Republic.
The Culture of the Czech Republic may just be one of the best
reasons for visiting. Music and theater are literally omnipresent,
especially in Prague, where you can enjoy anything from street puppeteers along
Charles Bridge to a sophisticated evening at one of three elegant opera houses (the
National Theatre, the Estates’ Theatre, and the
Prague
State Opera). Add to this the
Laterna
Magica with a special blend of genres including theater, dance, film and
music which can only be seen in Prague! Czech orchestras, such as the
Czech
Philharmonic, the
Prague Symphony Orchestra/FOK,
or the Czech Radio Symphony Orchestra, are also well known for outstanding
quality and performances.
