Best Czech Republic Tours from Lisbon

At the crossroads of Central Europe, the Czech Republic is a "storybook" destination defined by its soaring spires and world-renowned brewing heritage. Prague, the "City of a Hundred Spires," remains the crown jewel, where the gothic Charles Bridge and the sprawling Prague Castle create one of the most preserved medieval skylines in the world. Beyond the capital, the country boasts more castles per square mile than almost anywhere else, including the fairytale towers of Český Krumlov and the haunting "Bone Church" in Kutná Hora. Visitors also flock to the elegant spa town of Karlovy Vary or the beer mecca of Pilsen, the birthplace of Pilsner lager. With its affordable luxury and a landscape dotted with UNESCO sites, the Czech Republic feels like a walk through a living history book.
