Our tips for Czechia

Czechia is so much more than a city break in Prague. Bohemia, in the west, is castle country, with fairytale Český Krumlov, grand spa towns like Marienbad and hiking in Šumava National Park. Head east into Moravia and things slow down: think the baroque old town of Olomouc, the wine country around Mikulov and the palaces and parks of Lednice and Valtice. Getting there is easy, too. Hop on the night train and you'll wake up in Prague. We spent five weeks road-tripping around the country with our three-month-old daughter, have been back to Prague several times, and later I travelled by train from Prague all the way to South Moravia. Here's everything we learned, so you can plan your own trip to Czechia.
