Visit Czechia -
The official website of the Czech Tourist Authority with many attractions
of the Czech Republic. "Since time immemorial, the Czech lands have
been the crossroads of European cultures. The cultural character of Czech
cities, villages and spa towns has always been a source of inspiration to
visitors and guests, who come here from all corners of the world. The
Czech Republic, among the youngest in the family of European countries,
was born on January 1st, 1993, when the Czechoslovak Federal Republic
split into two independent states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Since May, 2004, the Czech Republic has been a member of the European
Union; it has been a full-fledged NATO member since 2002. (The country has
not adopted the Euro yet, however, and still uses its national currency,
the Czech crown.)
Even though the Czech Republic’s area of 78,864 square kilometers (about
30,450 square miles) ranks it among small countries, its wealth of natural
beauty and monuments of cultural heritage contribute greatly to its global
prestige as a major cultural destination.
Geographically, the country (population: 10.3 mil.) and its historical
lands (Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia) are divided into 14 local
administrative units controlled by regional administrations.
In addition to the administrative units, there are 14 tourist regions
dotted with charming towns, castles and chateaux (the most per square mile
of any country in the world!), ancient villages and, of course, many spas,
all waiting to be discovered."
