KUTNÁ HORA: A WINTER ESCAPE FROM PRAGUE

Looking for a different side of the Czech Republic beyond Prague? In winter, Kutná Hora slows down and reveals a quieter kind of charm. From November to December, its historic centre brings together medieval architecture, Advent traditions, music, design and the scent of mulled wine. With fewer visitors than in summer, it is an ideal time to explore the city’s heritage at a more relaxed pace.

Taste Mělnicko: Sometimes all it takes for good food is just to take a turn off the road.

How many times do we pass by an interesting place without even noticing it? And how many times do we search for good food somewhere far away, even though we have it almost around the corner? This idea gave rise to the project Taste Mělnicko, which connects gastronomy with travel and shows our region in a slightly different way.

What if we just went out somewhere?

You don't have to plan a vacation or pack a suitcase for a week. Sometimes, all it takes is to hop on a train, in a car, or on a bike and change the scenery for a few hours. Head out for culture in another city, explore history, take a walk through the autumn landscape, or plan your trip around an event that’s worth a few extra kilometers. Because a good trip doesn’t have to be far – you just need a reason to go. September and October are perfect for such outings. And since there are so many options, this time we’ve replaced lengthy discussions with specific inspiration. For culture, history, to a castle, on a bike, or simply somewhere you haven’t been yet. So where will it be?
