Cheap Czech Republic
Car Rental Hire

The central European nation Czech Republic is divided into three territories; Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.  The capital, Prague, in Bohemia is best known, but we’ll focus on other cities as a representation of all areas.  In your money-saving Czech Republic rental car travel to all places or focus on a region.  Let’s begin our trip.

Cesky Krumlov

A photogenic city in South Bohemia (about 2 hours from Prague) and situated on the Vltava River that bends through the town, there are a number of great locations by the water to have a meal and a beer.  After all, this is the Czech Republic where pilsner beer was first developed.  In keeping with the rest of the country, the town has a superb castle where you can climb to the bell tower for some incredible pictures of the town and countryside.  There’s also a large complex of medieval monasteries that can be toured, and remember this is an old town dating from the 13th century so it has some unforgettable Czech Republic accommodations.

As mentioned, beer has a deep history in the Czech Republic and it’s where Budweiser began.  In České Budĕjovice, 25 km (16 miles), tour the original brewery that started this beer to become an American legend, and climb the Black Tower for commanding views of the region.

The Šumava National Park, 54 km (34 miles), boasts various topography and is extensive.  Although it is easily reachable from town, the sheer size of the park makes the area around Lake Lipno as the most feasible to see, hike or bike.

Brno

Situated in Moravia, it’s the second largest city in the country and a major wine-producing area as witnessed by rows of grape vines in the region.  The city is a blend of historic charm and modern architecture featuring famous Bauhaus design.  World-renowned architect and designer Mies van der Rohe built a family villa at this location in the 1930s that is open to the public. The Náměstí Svobody is a delightful square surrounded with colourful buildings including the somewhat controversial House of the Four Mamlases.

The Caves of the Moravian Karst, 20 km (12 miles), are an absolute must to visit and great material for your GO camera that include a boat trip along an underground river. A drive to Olomouc, 78 km (49 miles), puts you in an area of the country that is pristine and ripe to explore with the region’s Jeseniky Mountains that offer events and activities to suit everyone’s taste.

Ostrava

When visiting this university and former coal mining town and you want entertainment, be sure to go to Stodolní Street that has been called “the street that never sleeps”, with its multitude of bars, clubs and street food vendors. The Silesian Ostrava Castle is not only a fine example of Renaissance architecture, but also features a museum of witches and a torture exhibition.  Prior to renovations, this castle sunk as much as 16 meters (53 feet) into the ground over the centuries due to subsidence from mining activity.

A 30 km (19 miles) drive can bring you to Raduňský Zamek to view a stately chateau situated in an English-style garden and voted one of the most beautiful structures in the Czech Republic, or travel to Opava, 32 km (20 miles) that was the former capital of the Silesian region.  A to-scale model of the solar system is spread over the town and in nearby villages so you can walk or drive to find all the planets.
