Unesco heritage

The Czech Republic hosts a remarkable array of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, each showing a different side of the country's rich history, architectural magnificence, and breathtaking nature. Among these treasures is Prague's historic city center, a labyrinth of streets, squares, and iconic landmarks that show centuries of architectural evolution. From the Gothic masterpiece of St. Vitus Cathedral to the Baroque elegance of the Church of Our Lady before Týn.


The UNESCO sites are barely limited to the country’s capital. One of them is Český Krumlov, a picturesque town in southern Bohemia's scenic countryside. Wander through Český Krumlov's charming streets lined with centuries-old buildings, artisan shops, and quaint cafes, and you'll understand why it's been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1992.

For nature enthusiasts, the Český ráj, righteously translated to the Bohemian Paradise, offers a breathtaking landscape of sandstone rock formations, forests, and valleys. Designated as a UNESCO Geopark, this region in northern Bohemia is a haven for outdoor activities such as hiking, rock climbing, and cycling. Here, you can explore the mystical rock labyrinths of Hrubá Skála or the towering Prachov Rocks. 


In Moravia, the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape captivates visitors with its harmonious blend of natural beauty and architectural splendor. This UNESCO World Heritage Site encompasses vast parklands, romantic lakes, and architectural gems such as the Lednice Castle and the elegant Valtice Chateau.
