The Czech Republic Beyond Prague
Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2008 | Few travelers venture beyond Prague to experience the Czech Republic's many cultural riches and offbeat delights. We'll get started with a whirlwind of Art Nouveau, local pub music, stinky-cheese tasting, river rafting, and peat bathing in places like Olomouc, Moravský Krumlov, Třeboň, and Konopiště. We'll also tour a remarkable memorial to the Holocaust in Terezín, and the charming castle town of Český Krumlov. #ricksteves #ricksteveseurope #czechrepublic

Vielen Dank für Ihre Wünsche. Jeder sollte wissen, dass dieses Land und seine Schönheit auch von Deutschen erbaut wurden, die hier jahrhundertelang gelebt haben, und ich bin stolz darauf, dies anzuerkennen. Und Deutsche sind hier immer willkommen! Thank you very much for your wishes. Everyone should know that this country and its beauty was also build by Germans who lived here for centuries and I am proud to acknowledge this. And German people will always be welcomed here!

I would like to suggest not to use Czechia, as it has a bad connotation for older generation (Nazi's term Tschechei). If uou feel that Czech republic is too long, use Czechlands, or what Czech call it, Cesko (soft C/tch).

I went to these places even before Rick Steves promoted these places. It was amazing to go to these places when you did not see too many tourists. For me personally go mid September. No big crowds because all the college students and families have gone back home. The weather is better also. Take your time and don't rush yourself in these places. Spend at least 3 days in these areas.
Loooove Prague, one of the most beautiful and romantic places in the world.
It really seem wonderfull in Czech. really would love to visit after the pandemic 🇨🇿🇩🇰

It really is beautiful and there is plenty to do all around the country. CR has mountains, lakes, forests, caves, museums, castles, festivals of all types (food, drinks, medieval, music, film...) etc etc.... I love going to Moravia at the end of September during the young wine festivals for example. Amazing. I miss pre-Corona times when we could travel and everything was open and great.

@@MrBlair-ft2li I have never been to Tbilisi thought one day I would love to. I know some people who been there or are from there and I think Prague is definatelly a better choice. At least in terms of an economy and geographical location. Also, in my opinion there is a lot more to do in Prague and the choice of international cusine is wider as its more developed city. You could live on the outskirts of Prague if you wish to live near the nature but still with an easy distance to the city. Retired life can be quite friendly with mushrooming, blueberry hunting, actual hunting, castle visiting, or trekking across the country all very safely.

@@MrBlair-ft2li In Tbilisi it is almost impossible to live, without speaking georgian or russian. Only few people there speak english. On the other side, everything is cheaper in Tbilisi, and it´s not that overcrowded. Also local cuisine is incredibly good, and it really local, in Praque, many things just pretend to be local, but it´s not.

I'd love to live there, South Africa has nothing like Europe with history and architecture
Excellent Mr R. Steves. All are marvellous productions. I would like to see much more.
By the way... I kinda miss Kutná Hora here. I know there is a lot to mention and you can't cram all the beautiful places into 25 minutes but at least few words... In the 14th century, before the Hussite wars, Kutná Hora was one of the richest cities in the entire Europe. It was all thanks to silver mining and production of coins called Pražský groš which was very popular european currency at that time. Kutná Hora is now listed as a UNESCO world cultural heritage (amongst other 11 places in Czechia).

+Phani Shankar Brno is great city too. There are many thinks to visit and see and specially if you are interested in a wine business. Brno is in Moravian region where most of the Czech production of wine is being made. If you wanna have a look on lovely Czech country side - than that is a way to start in Brno and travel from there - towards to cities like Mikulov, Břeclav, Hodonín..and maybe even beautiful place near be it - like Lednice (castle).. Moravian people are kind and lovely to meet - but you have to go to country side to really appreciate the traditional view.

I love it. Clean, quiet and old.
Rick. Great video. Well researched and filmed. You must have a lot of fun making these videos. So informative.
So quite and peaceful
I knew nothing at all about these towns outside of Prague. What a surprise to discover (my dear) Mucha's homeland of Bohemia-Moravia! And to see the Roma in one of their homelands and listen to their music. But also, there are historical facts that are excruciatingly hard to absorb; in many cities, they might be plastered with arts, royal elegance and music, but here, they are raw. I thank you, Rick for bringing them to our awareness: We need to know! It is so easy not to know...
I wish someday I could visit my love Czech republic...
I love Czech! Love from Silesia
...from heartbreaking history told by luscious voice of charismatic Mr. Rick Steves to sassy mud bath bring this wonderful movie in most intriguing way to stay attached to beautiful charms of breathtaking Europe , thank you, love ❤️ you...
loved the guest host on this one!
The Slavic epic is indeed to see in Prague now. It's no longer in Moravský Krumlov. (and a note: the spelling of one of the places you visited is Třeboň). However it's a very nice short documentary, always glad to see people realizing that the Czech Republic has so much more to offer than Prague..

Thank you for showcasing towns that are all too often overlooked, but, should not be.
It's easy to go the capital cities of a country, airplane ride and you're there. Train rides are much more fun. Czech is a small country so only 3 hour train rides and one can get to most places in this beautiful country! Thank you, Steve

Other towns/cities to visit include Tábor, Telč and Třebíč. The Slav Epic paintings were moved to Prague (in Veletržní Palace) in 2012 after this video was made. The paintings were on exhibition in Japan in mid-2017, may still be as at August 2017.
I been in Prague with my Czech's partner and I loved the historical, the architectural building and the castle. My partner is now in Prague( without me :-( ) to visit his family. I wish I could go back again and to see the other places I have not see yet. Thanks Rick .
