Good food and drink can make or break a holiday. Nothing, though, in this regard will be lacking for you or your children in the Czech Republic. Not only can you dine well, but for relatively little money.
Parents certainly do not need reminding of the traditional Czech beverages.
- To visit the Czech Republic and never once try Czech beer is a sin. Light, dark, semi-dark … it comes in all possible varieties.
- The herbal liqueur Becherovka is recommended as an aperitif as well as a digestive.
- Don’t forget to try an excellent glass of Czech or Moravian wine.
Awaiting the visitor to the Czech Republic, along with international cuisine, is a wealth of traditional Czech cooking. Typical Czech specialities are:
- Potato soup,
- Beef sirloin in cream sauce and
- Roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut.
And for the sweet tooth there are
- cakes,
- crepes filled with fruit and ice cream,
- apple strudel,
- Pardubice gingerbread or
- Czech fruit dumplings sprinkled with sugar and curd cheese.
Nor should you forget to try a traditional spa delicacy – thin crispy round
wafers! These are available everywhere, yet taste the best along
a spa promenade – one more reason to pay a visit to one of the renowned Czech
spa towns. The best-known of these are those in the West Bohemia
spa triangle: the largest Czech spa towns of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské
Lázně and Františkovy Lázně.
Anyone who enjoyed playing at soldiers as a kid, who loves history, or who just wants to see something special should certainly head for the South Moravian town of Slavkov u Brna at the end of November. Here, the re enactment of the famous Battle of the Three Emperors will take place. Nearly a thousand enthusiasts will do battle in period uniforms.
Imaginative, amusing, splendid… and fun for everyone. With such words, one can describe the offer of New Year’s programmes in the metropolis as well as other places in the Czech Republic. Organisers have arranged events for families with children, young people, sportsmen and all those wanting to treat themselves to something special. Here is our New Year’s menu. 
The Czech Republic will be a very lively place even in autumn. A wide assortment of jazz festivals and concerts will be taking place. In addition to local artists, musicians from all over the world will be performing, and fans have a lot to look forward to.
