3 placesCentral Bohemia
Kutná Hora
A silver-mining town that rivalled Prague in the fourteenth century, with a Gothic cathedral built by miners and a chapel decorated with the bones of forty thousand people.
South Bohemia
Český Krumlov
A medieval town inside a hairpin bend of the Vltava, with the second-largest castle in the country and a baroque theatre that still uses its original stage machinery.
Ústí nad Labem Region
Terezín
A Habsburg garrison town the Nazis turned into a ghetto and a transit camp, and then presented to the Red Cross as a model settlement. An hour from Prague and very hard.
