Visitors to the Czech Republic can relax, unwind and learn a bit about the country's rich history and culture in many ways. One of the most popular kinds of holiday in the Czech Republic are sightseeing tours of Czech towns, taking in the most attractive medieval town centres and giving an insight into the lives of their citizens past and present, as well as religious sites that provide a 3-D overview of almost every architectural style going. Visiting castles and chateaux also provides a peek into Czech history and the lives of the nobility. Thanks to the well preserved interiors of these places, visitors can get a feel for the art and style of the various historical periods.

In comparison, rural architecture and the lives and traditions of people in rural areas can be seen at various open air museums dotted around the country. These are museums of folk architecture where visitors will find a range of exhibitions as well as folk festivals, local costume and folk dancing and singing. Folk traditions are still alive and kicking in several regions of the Czech Republic, especially in Moravia.

Of course the Czech Republic isn't just one big museum; during any visit to the country you will have the chance to observe everyday life in the streets of Czech towns and cities, do some shopping, visit a modern art gallery, sample a bit of night life or just relax in the picturesque countryside, getting to know the locals and trying some typical Czech food.
