Day Trips/Excursions
If you wish to do some exploring beyond Prague, there are many possibilities for excursions. Trips to the medieval Castle Karlštejn or to the concentration camp Terezín are the most popular choices, notably for their short driving distance from Prague. If you like spas and architecture, try to visit Karlovy Vary. This city is famous for its hot mineral springs and beautiful promenade. If you are a beer enthusiast, take a trip to the Plzeň or České Budějovice; both cities are well-known for their brewing industry. Kutná Hora is another recommended city to visit. In the 13th century, the discovery of large deposits of silver and copper ore turned Kutna Hora overnight into one of the boom towns of central Europe.
If you travel on your own by bus or train, journeys usually take much longer compared to an organized excursion or hiring a car on your own. Keep in mind that paying for a tour guide and a car is often a better deal.
