Prague Day Trips The people who sell tours are renown for saying
anything to get you to buy a ticket. Some tours, particularly those
going into the Czech rural areas, can be conducted in up to 4
different languages. Paying for a tour guide and a car is often a far
better deal. 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, especially for their short driving distance from
Prague. If you like spas and architectural gems try to visit Karlovy
Vary. This city is famous for its hot mineral springs and beautiful
promenade. If you are a beer patriot, 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 discovery of large deposits of silver and copper ore
turned Kutna Hora overnight into one of the boom towns of central
Europe. If you do not wish to hire a car or use regular bus or train
several companies offer organized day trips by bus. If you travel on
your own by bus or train journey take usually longer compare to
organized excursion - transport.
