THURSDAY

Our full-day optional excursion takes us to Dresden in Germany, where notable art treasures, architectural sights and charming landscapes merge to form a truly fascinating city.

We see the main attractions, such as the Semper Opera House and the Frauenkirche Lutheran Church amongst others, and afterwards we have time for shopping and personal sightseeing.

FRIDAY

Today’s full-day optional excursion takes us to the south of Bohemia, to Cesky Krumlov, the most attractive historical town of the Bohemian region.

On our way to this town, we pass through lovely scenery and villages.

In Cesky Krumlov, we have time to visit the historic city centre and the castle (extra) that dominates the town.

SATURDAY

Today, we will go on a half-day optional excursion to Konopiste Castle (entrance extra), an impressive castle set in the beautiful Czech countryside.

The castle dates from the 13th Century.

It was built as a Gothic fortification in the style of a French chateau.

In the 17th century, parts of the castle were remodelled in the Renaissance style, followed by further alterations to the Baroque style in the 18th century.

Konopiste is surrounded by thick forest, so throughout its existence, hunting was a popular pursuit for the nobility staying there.

We will return to Prague in the afternoon where we will enjoy some free time.

SUNDAY

Today, we will go on an optional half-day excursion to Kutna Hora.

It is one of the 12 places in the Czech Republic on UNESCO’s world heritage list, but is most famous for its remarkable ‘bone church’ (extra), a cemetry chapel decorated with the bones of up to 40,000 people.

The historic centre of Kutna Hora is one of the country’s prettiest and the gothic cathedral of St. Barbara is the country’s most spectacular.

Once back in Prague, one may stroll around the medieval streets bursting with all kinds of shops, or one may stop at leisure in one of the several antique squares for a local snack and a glass of Czech beer.

MONDAY

This morning we will go on an optional full[1]day excursion to Karlovy Vary.

The Czech Republic’s most famed spa destination, Karlovy Vary saw 200 spa houses sprout by the 1500s.

The springs in the peaceful Tepla valley are said to cure metabolic and gastric issues.

Five beautiful Colonnades straddle hot springs where visitors can sip the mineral rich water.

One can also visit the Diana tower by an antique funicular (extra).

TUESDAY

Check-out, and on our half-day optional excursion, we will visit Terezin concentration camp, contained within the walls of the famed fortress Theresienstadt.

Terezin, originally a holiday resort reserved for Czech nobility, was turned into a concentration camp during the World War II.
