Czech Republic Highlights: South Moravia Castles and Prague River Cruises

South Moravia, stretching from the outskirts of Brno to the Austrian border, offers more than wine. Visitors can explore romantic castles such as Lednice and Valtice, the extensive Lednice‑Valtice Cultural Landscape (283 km², one of Europe’s largest human‑made areas), boat trips on the Dyje River, the historic town of Mikulov, floodplain forests, caves and prehistoric sites.

In Prague, the Vltava River serves as a venue for school outings, senior trips, private celebrations and cultural events. Boats host concerts, theatre performances and community programmes, with the vessel Kamina alone staging about 260 events a year for roughly 10 000 attendees. The river experience provides a unique perspective on the city’s landmarks while fostering social and cultural interaction.
