In two distinct regions - Bohemia in the west and Moravia in the east - the Czech Republic covers an area of roughly 79,000 sq km of central Europe and is land-locked by Austria, Germany, Poland and the Slovak Republic. Around 10 million people inhabit the Czech Republic - a country blessed with a landscape that is both diverse and beautiful, ranging from dynamic mountains to sweeping lowlands, caves and canyons to verdant pasture, peaceful lakes and spas to mighty rivers. Because of its richness in both natural environments and cultural heritage, holiday accommodation in the Czech Republic is highly sought after by people of all ages, many of whom are seeking the unique experience of either rustic village life with its charming traditions and customs or the cosmopolitan attitudes and contemporary buzz of Prague, the Czech Republic's architecturally stunning, world famous capital city.

With a continental climate that is notoriously damp and rather changeable, summers in the Czech Republic are generally hot with showery outbursts and winters cold and snowy, making this a country with plenty of vacation opportunities all year round - from hiking, biking and fishing in many rural locations through the summer months to winter skiing and snowboarding with facilities that easily rival those found at some of the more popular ski resorts in Europe. The climatic conditions in the mountains can be unpredictable during any season, but for those with a passion for ancient history, weather is never an issue when it comes to exploring the wealth of Baroque, Gothic and Renaissance facades that grace the construction of many towns, cities and even smaller villages across the Czech Republic.

But for the legions of disciples to high-culture, the only reason to visit the Czech Republic is its eclectic and vibrant capital city, Prague, where sensory overload can be achieved by merely wandering through its maze of exciting neighbourhoods where modern values exist happily alongside an essentially medieval atmosphere, where you can fit some hectic shopping trips in between the enlightening discovery of some fine cathedrals and museums. Holiday apartments in Prague put you right at the heart of this visually outstanding destination and can be found in situations that are the perfect choice for either short city breaks or longer, more leisurely vacations where you can spend time experiencing the true magic and majesty of one of the finest cities in the world - not just in the Czech Republic.
