The regions of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia constitute the Czech Republic, a
beautiful territory in the heart of Europe. The Czech Republic presents one with
panoramas or great beauty, an undulating landscape, vast forests, mountain
ranges, protected wildlife areas, cool rivers and lakes, which make up the
picturesque countryside. Since the Middle Ages the many spring-fed spas have
been utilized as therapy and as a source of refreshment. At every step one may
behold architectural treasures. Thongh it is a small country, the
Czech Republic can boast of over 1.500 palaces and
castles.
The Czech Republic - and above all Prague - has been the center of European
culture. In keeping with this tradition, every year there are countless
festivals of ballet, theatre, art, opera and music (both classical and
contemporary).
