The Czech Republic: choosing a holiday destination
This section presents the best resorts for family holidays and has detailed information on how to get there, where to stay and how to spend enjoyable leisure time for adults and children. Description of resorts will help you learn the features of the places that tourists love, choose a village or town taking into account all your wishes, and develop a programme of excursions to world-famous cathedrals, museums, and palaces.
What the best resorts in the Czech Republic have to offer
The most famous Czech cities that tourists with children like to visit are Prague, Brno, Karlovy Vary, as well as Český Krumlov, Mariánské Lázně and, of course, the villages and towns of the Špindlerův Mlýn ski region.
Czech resorts for children offer plenty of opportunities for fun and educational leisure activities. If you are travelling with a teenager in Prague, you can make exciting walking tours, visit St. Vitus Cathedral, admire the famous Astronomical Clock, explore the city from numerous observation decks, and walk along the Charles Bridge and beautiful streets in the historic part of the city, relax at the table of one of the cosy cafes.
Young children will love visiting the zoo, amusement rides and fascinating museums, including the Chocolate Museum, Lego Museum, Toy Museum and many others. Children and adults will enjoy the Planetarium, Police Museum, Dino Park, Mirror Maze, horse-drawn carriage rides or river trips along the Vltava River on a boat.
Many Czech resorts are famous for their therapeutic activities. Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně stand out among them. There are sanatoriums where you can undergo rehabilitation on a full board. However, many tourists also willingly use mini-hotel services or rent the apartments. The health recovery programme is developed individually in local medical centres by experienced doctors.
The mild climate practically throughout the year, clean air filled with pine aroma, and thermal and mineral springs provide an excellent therapeutic effect for those with problems with the gastrointestinal tract, respiratory tract, cardiovascular or nervous system. As a rule, children as young as six can be treated here with their parents.
During the Christmas holidays, it is a good idea to take the opportunity to relax in the Špindlerův Mlýn ski resort. This large tourist region has good transport connections to various cities in the Czech Republic, Poland and Germany. Holidaymakers are offered slopes of different difficulty levels and a large selection of other entertainment besides skiing. That is why it is interesting for children of any age and at any time of the year.
In this section are photos of resorts, which will help you get a more complete and comprehensive idea of each proposed holiday idea.
Is it expensive in Czech Republic?
The map of Czech resorts is quite varied, so you can come here with your child anytime and have fun. At the same time, the journey will take very little time; both land (buses, trains) and air communication with different regions of the country are well functioning. The cost of holidays is quite affordable for many people, especially since you can plan both a budget option and a holiday "on a grand scale". Of course, during the Christmas holidays, prices are higher than in the low season. It should also be considered that accommodation in the historical part of Prague is much more expensive than in more distant areas from the centre.
If you are looking for all-inclusive resorts in the Czech Republic, choose a spa holiday or choose a hotel with a full board. Unfortunately, this concept is a rarity in this country. Most hotels offer prices for accommodation with breakfast. Many hotels have restaurants where you can order lunch and dinner. Children will always be able to choose tasty and healthy dishes. And for your baby, take with you at first milk formula or baby food, porridge, and vegetable purees. However, there are supermarkets in most tourist regions, and you can easily buy food on the spot.
If you decide to cook on your own during the holiday, you can stay in apartments equipped with a kitchen - plenty of such offers exist. Popular resorts for children offer the necessary level of comfort: there is a lot of entertainment, and hotels have playrooms. A review of destinations confirms that there is a suitable option for family holidays for everyone. The choice is yours.
