On The Road
Many people within Europe arrive by auto as driving
is a good way of discovering the country at your own pace. However, you
need to keep in mind that there are relatively few highway-type roads, and
therefore the travel times are sometimes longer than you might expect,
especially within the Czech Republic. For some good information on driving
in the Czech Republic, click here.
You can also receive a lot of good information from the
Czech Autoclub.
They have an excellent page with all the necessary info for drivers,
including pictures of highway toll coupons and more.
