Beyond Prague
The Central European location of Prague makes it a perfect getaway site for day trips into Bohemia, the surrounding rural areas of metropolitan Prague, to the historic castles and chateaus of Krivoklat and Cesky Krumlov, and easy weekend journeys to neighboring countries such as Austria, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, and Poland. Cities such as Berlin, Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest are only just a few hours away by train and even closer by air.
