If you are just planning your trip to the Czech Republic and have not yet decided on the route, then this article is definitely for you. In it I tried to collect the most interesting places to visit and popular among tourists in the Czech Republic.

1. Prague

The first place is invariably occupied by the Czech capital - cultural and historical Center Czech Republic. About 1.3 million people live in Prague, but this does not prevent it from remaining a cozy and compact city, the main attractions of which are Old city, Prague Castle, Charles Bridge - collected within walking distance. Unlike many other major European cities, Prague was not destroyed by bombing during World War II.

In Prague you can try inexpensive and tasty food in Europe, visit museums and galleries, buy famous Czech pomegranates, Czech Kohinoor pencils or mole. Plus Prague is great Starting point to visit nearby European cities - Vienna, Dresden, Munich.

4. Karlštejn Castle

There have been plenty of charlatans at all times. In the 16th century, one of the most notable was the English medium Edward Kelly, who claimed that with the help of his crystal ball he could communicate with spirits and also turn metal into gold. Ruler Rudolf II became interested in the alchemist’s latest “gift”; he gave Kelly the title of “Baron of the Kingdom” and gave him the “Donkey’s Cradle House” on Jansky Hill as a laboratory.

It is there that the Prague Museum of Alchemists and Magicians is now located, covered, like Edward Kelly himself, with many mystical legends. According to one of them, Kelly did not have ears (in the Middle Ages they were cut off for fraud), but he successfully hid it behind long hair. However, one woman accidentally noticed this “flaw”, for which she was cursed. Returning home, she discovered that her son had turned into a donkey. Fortunately, everything ended well - the woman returned the child’s human form with prayers.

In this museum you can plunge into the atmosphere of a real alchemical laboratory. Among the exhibits are a crystal ball (the same one!), a philosopher's egg (intended for the production of the philosopher's stone), ovens for brewing potions and other interesting things. By the way, many objects can be touched with your hands and tested on yourself. In addition, as part of your visit to the museum, you can stop by the Kellixir restaurant and taste the “elixir of youth” or another “medieval potion.”

2. Penguins on the Vltava

Contemporary art is sometimes difficult to understand. For example, it is not known for certain what the art group Cracking Art Group wanted to say when they installed 34 yellow penguins on the banks of the Vltava as part of the Re-Evolution exhibition at the Kampa Museum. The penguins are made from recycled plastic bottles. They stand side by side on a small bridge, not far from another unusual Prague monument called “The Chair”.

It’s impossible to walk past these compositions and not take a photo of them. They, like a magnet, attract Prague residents and visitors to the city. The only difference is in attitude: for some these are just cool monuments, while for others it is modernity, expanding the boundaries of the usual understanding of the world. Be that as it may, the yellow penguins on the Vltava look very bright, especially in the evening when the lights turn on.

Address: na Malé Straně, u Muzea Kampa (U Sovových mlýnů 2)



3. Kingdom of Railways

Many people dreamed of a toy railroad as a child. The Kingdom of Railways is the apogee of childhood dreams; it is the largest operating model railway in the Czech Republic.

It is located in the Anděl hotel building and is 121 meters railway tracks, running through the Karlovy Vary and Ustsky regions. Czech towns, small and large stations are recreated in the smallest detail, and video cameras are built into the locomotives, which allows you to imagine yourself as a train passenger and a resident of this tiny world.

The project to recreate the Czech Republic in miniature began in 2009 and is scheduled for completion in 2014, when Prague Castle will be connected to Karlštejn Castle. So the Kingdom of Railways is constantly evolving. Not only children, but also adults will be delighted with his visit, because for them this is another reason to feel like a child.

5. KGB Museum

There are many places in Prague that commemorate the common Soviet-Czech socialist past. One of the most extraordinary is the KGB Museum. It was opened in 2011 through the efforts of a private collector who previously lived in Russia.

The museum recreates the atmosphere of the USSR State Security Committee: employee offices, telephones, stationery, insignia of Soviet secret service agents. In addition, personal belongings of the first persons of the Soviet Union are presented - the leaders of the Cheka, GPU, OGPU, NKVD, MGB, KGB. For example, a radio receiver from personal account Beria.

A special place in the museum is occupied by a photographic exhibition entitled “Prague 1968 through the eyes of a KGB officer” - these are photographs taken by employees of the State Security Committee in Prague in the spring of 1968, when Soviet troops entered the Czech capital.

There is an important warning on the main page of the museum’s website: “Attention! The purpose of this exhibition is not to promote violence, racial superiority and national hatred.” The Prague KGB Museum is mainly a historical museum.

6. Ta Fantastika Theater

The magic of music, plasticity and light gives birth to a fascinating performance called black theater. Black theater is an artistic production based on the optical effect of the black cabinet, thanks to which objects “come to life” and become characters along with the actors.

The Ta Fantastica Theater, located in the UNITARIA palace, was founded by Piotr Kratochvil in 1980, who at that time lived in the USA. Upon returning to his homeland in 1989, Kratochvil continued to engage in black theater.

Ta Fantastica Theater is a non-verbal theater, its main means of expression are light, movement and music. Therefore, when visiting it, you will not encounter a language barrier - the magic is clear without words.



7. National Technical Museum

The Prague National Technical Museum is a paradise for lovers of engineering and technology. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Czech Republic was considered one of the most advanced countries in terms of technology, so in 1908 this museum was founded in the Czech capital.

Over its long history, the Prague Technical Museum has accumulated more than a million exhibits, and today it is considered one of the best in Europe. The museum has several thematic rooms: transport, architecture, astronomy, household appliances, printing and photography.

The largest (4-story pavilion) and fascinating, of course, is the exhibition dedicated to transport. There are also cars: from the very first ones, powered by a steam engine, to quite modern ones (for example, cars driven by the top officials of the Czech Republic); and all kinds of aircraft - from airplanes to planes from the Second World War; and steam locomotives, and motorcycles and bicycles.

No less interesting is the exhibition dedicated to the history of photography. For us, people of the 21st century, accustomed to taking digital photographs, even the process of printing from a negative seems something unusual. The exhibition presents some of the very first cameras, flashes and other photographic devices.

The astronomy hall contains various telescopes, star charts, astronomical clocks and other equipment that have helped to study the Universe over the centuries. The exhibition of household appliances tells the story of the evolution of the household: there you will see what our grandmothers used to cook, iron and wash. And in the “Typography” hall you can trace the history of printing: antique typewriters, typesetting blocks, printing presses and much more.

You can devote the whole day, or even more than one, to visiting this museum.

8. Prague metronome

Not far from the National Technical Museum, in Letna Park, there is another unusual technical structure - a huge metronome.

In 1991, the General Czechoslovak Exhibition took place in Prague. On this occasion, they decided to build a metronome on the site where there once was a monument to Stalin. The artist Vratislav Karel Novak took on the project. The result was a 24-meter monument with a 20-meter barbell, methodically counting the time.

It’s funny that before the Czech Republic joined the European Union, when the country was faced with an important historical choice, one of the resourceful townspeople signed “Yes” on one side of the metronome and “No” on the other. Apparently, the device helped the Czech people make the right decision.

Currently, the metronome area is a favorite place for Prague skateboarders.

9. Sex Machine Museum

Prague is one of European capitals where prostitution is legalized. However, the phrase “Prague Museum of Sex Machines” sounds more than strange (somehow it doesn’t fit with the majestic architecture and glorious history Beauties of Prague).

However, there really is such an establishment in the Czech capital. The Sex Machine Museum is an exhibition of erotic devices with which people different time, V different countries tried to please themselves and their partners. The museum occupies three floors and includes more than 200 exhibits (directly “tools”), as well as books, clothes, unusual condoms and much more. The pride of the establishment is the only cyber sex machine in Europe. In addition, old erotic films are shown within the walls of the museum from time to time.

Operating mode: daily from 10:00 to 23:00



10. Beer depot

The Czech Republic is a beer country, so there are plenty of places in Prague where excellent Czech beer is bottled. But all these establishments are similar to each other. All but one.

We are talking about the Vytopna restaurant, located on Wenceslas Square (entrance from shopping center Phoenix Palace). The Czechs are clearly partial to trains, because Vytopna is another model railway. More precisely, it is a beer depot, where beer is delivered on small trains along rails laid between the tables of visitors (there are rooms for smokers and non-smokers). The bar counter serves as a loading and unloading station: dirty dishes are brought there, new batches of beer are poured there and the route is set. Thus, drinking a foamy drink turns into exciting children's fun.

By the way, the whole family often comes to this restaurant (there is a special corner for children), because, in addition to excellent beer, Vytopna is famous for its cuisine. True, empty seats in the restaurant are rare, so it is better to book a table in advance.

Operating mode: daily from 11:00 to 23:30







11. Absinthe bar

Another popular alcoholic drink in the Czech Republic is absinthe. And in Prague there is a bar completely dedicated to him - Absinthe Time bar.

The establishment's menu includes dozens of types of absinthe with different thujone content: from 10 mg to 100 mg (this absinthe is sold only in this bar). In addition, you can treat yourself to a variety of cocktails, which, of course, also include absinthe.

From the friendly waiters you will learn how to prepare absinthe, its types and learn the culture of its use (hot and cold methods).

12. Bobsleigh track

Who said you can't sled in the summer? In Prague - you can. For this purpose, a “bean drag” was built there, that is, a rail bobsleigh track. This is 800 meters of adrenaline, sharp turns and breathtaking loops overcome with maximum speed 62 km/h is what you need for active recreation.

At the same time, the “bean drag” is extremely safe - even children over 8 years old can ride (younger ones must be accompanied by adults). The sleds are equipped with brakes, and the track itself is illuminated in the evenings. But the best part is that those who like to ride won’t have to “carry” the sled—the smart mechanism itself will lift them back up the mountain.

In addition, on the territory of the bobsleigh track, there is a wonderful rope center, a children's playground and a restaurant. This is a great place for a family vacation.

Address: Prosecá 906/34b

Operating mode: daily from 10:00 to 22:00




13. Museum of Miniatures

The Museum of Miniatures is an exhibition of works by Lefty of our time, Anatoly Konenko. This Russian microminiaturist artist began micropainting back in 1981. In 1998, in Prague, on the territory of the Strahov Monastery, a museum was opened with his works, which can only be viewed with a microscope or magnifying glass.

There are about 40 exhibits in total, but what kind! Tiny reproductions (10x10 mm plates) of paintings by Matisse, Botticelli, Dali, a camel caravan in the eye of a needle, the Eiffel Tower in a cherry pit and others.

Anatoly Konenko, apparently, has special reverence for another master of “small forms” - Chekhov. The museum displays a portrait of Anton Pavlovich on a poppy seed, as well as a book with his story “Chameleon” measuring 0.9x0.9 mm, which until 2013 was considered the smallest book in the world and listed in the Guinness Book of Records.

Budget doesn't mean boring. Prague is replete with attractions, which you can explore completely free of charge. Some corners deserve attention, others are simply beautiful, and others awaken a person’s imagination. We start our top 15 with the most famous places in Prague, which everyone dreams of visiting.

The most famous places

Prague Castle

On the left bank of the Vltava lies one of oldest fortresses a planet in which emperors, kings and other rulers of the Czech land periodically settled.

  • Royal Garden;
  • Golden Lane;
  • St. Vitus Cathedral;
  • Singing fountain.

The Charles Bridge

Without it historical monument the capital of the Czech Republic is impossible to imagine. Charles Bridge has always been the most beautiful place in Prague, so a walk along it is a must. The bridge spans the Vltava and connects Stare Mesto with Mala Strana. For five hundred meters you can admire medieval sculptures and ancient Prague landscapes.

Attraction address: Karlův most, 110 00 Praha 1. Admission is free - this is the main advantage of the Bridge. The downside is that during the day there are hordes of tourists roaming around here. We recommend a night walk or watching the sunrise on the Charles Bridge.

Prague is cold in the winter, so plan to visit the Bridge in the summer or fall.

Old Town Square

Having crossed the Charles Bridge, you find yourself in Stare Mesto. The vast Old Town Square stretches here - quite interesting place in Prague.

Charles Street

A beautiful medieval street connecting Malaya and Krzhizovnica squares - both of them are located near Charles Bridge. Cobblestone streets and many iconic buildings are the key selling points of this area.

The beer hall is tight with empty seats. Book your table in advance.

Mystical rotunda

This building is considered one of the city's oldest buildings, but few have heard of him. The Rotunda of the Holy Cross is located near Charles Bridge - on a street that runs parallel to the embankment. This is a Romanesque church, overgrown with numerous legends. One of them says that there used to be a pond on the site of the church - a Christian girl drowned there, having changed her faith against her parents’ will.

The second legend claims that countless treasures are hidden under the round structure. The building has been reconstructed several times, and a certain mystical spirit really hovers in its surroundings. The rotunda is located in Old Prague, at the intersection of Konvitska and Karolina Svetle streets. Services, by the way, are still held here today. The exact address Church: Karolíny Světlé 14. Take the tram to the “Národní divadlo” stop. If you prefer the metro, the Můstek station is located nearby.

The strangest sights

Now fasten your seat belts - we've reached the top five. unusual places Czech capital. Actually, Prague has a lot of quaint museums and other strange corners:

  • Museum of Communism;
  • Residential building from Znamení Čtyř;
  • "Black Light Theatre";
  • Soviet tank;
  • A car with legs;
  • Statue of Wenceslas.

The list can be supplemented with a dozen more items. The downside to these wonderful monuments is that you have to pay to visit them. Below are examples of more than just mysterious Prague attractions - a tour of these points (with the exception of one museum) will hardly empty your pockets.

Hanging Man

Imagine a stone man hanging over your head - you must agree, it’s a very exotic sight. A man was suspended from a steel mast by David Černý, a well-known provocateur sculptor in the Czech Republic. Some passers-by call firefighters and police, thinking that a citizen is in trouble. Gusova Street turned into an arena for shocking experimental artist.

The address of the “gallows”: Betlémské náměstí 350/7. You can get here by trams No. 53, 17 and 18, going through the Karlovy lázně stop. When planning to take the metro, look for the Můstek station on the map. You can contemplate the man standing tall in the air for free. At the same time, wander along the picturesque Gusovaya Street.

Žižkov Tower

The Prague TV Tower is distinguished not only by its bizarre shape, but also by the black men crawling along the steep walls. In the capital of the Czech Republic, this is the tallest building, reaching as much as 216 meters. Initially, the building was untouched by vice, but then the provocateur Cherny, already familiar to us, had a hand in it. It was thanks to him that little men appeared.

The best observation platforms are attached to the façade of the Žižkov TV Tower. Below you will lie a breathtaking urban landscape, but you will have to pay 150 crowns for it. The tower is located at Mahlerovy sady 2699/1. The Prague residents themselves tell a lot of horror stories about the TV tower. Here are the main reasons why townspeople can’t stomach this place:

  1. Unusual shape. This is not baroque or classical - it’s not clear at all. The tower breaks out stylistically from the landscape of medieval Prague. You will probably be advised to explore the city from here - then the TV tower itself will not be visible.
  2. Jewish bones. Old-timers claim that the tower was erected on the site of a Jewish cemetery, so the very existence of the object is sacrilege.
  3. High ticket prices. Agree, 150 CZK for an observation deck is a little expensive. The telescope on the tower is paid, and the prices in the restaurant are astronomical. If you want to save money, limit yourself to an external inspection of the attraction.

    4. At night, this attraction looks creepy, so it’s better to go without children. The embryo is attached to the wall of “Na Zábradlí” - a Prague theater located at Anenské náměstí 209/5. You can view this architectural delight for free.

    As you may have guessed, the embryo is another creation of David Cherny. The theater received a strange “gift” just in time for its fiftieth anniversary. Cashiers and cloakroom attendants are indignant, but there is no end to tourists.

    Come to the embryo at night - it glows with red light. In combination with yellow theater windows it looks unique.

    Sex Machine Museum

    Perhaps this corner is one of the most provocative objects in modern Prague. Museum address: Melantrichova 18, Prague 1. To get here, you need to get to Wenceslas Square and move towards the Old Town Square. The museum is housed in a three-story building. After paying 250 crowns, you immediately find yourself in a chair testing visitors for sexuality. The highlight of the exhibition is mechanical sexual units. But there are also plenty of other interesting things:

  • corsets;
  • underwear;
  • vintage clothing;
  • metal chastity belts;
  • anti-masturbation machines;
  • medieval contraceptives.

Some units resemble factory machines. Each mechanism has accompanying instructions, photographs and diagrams. Be sure to visit the erotic cinema hall - you will learn a lot of interesting things about the carnal pleasures of our ancestors.

The Staroměstská metro station and the tram stop of the same name are located nearby. The museum is open from ten in the morning to eleven in the evening.

John Lennon Wall

Visit this facility better in summer— mighty tree crowns hang over the wall, creating an atmosphere of sun, kindness and general pacifism. The object is located on Velkoprzevorskaya Square in Mala Strana. The wall is decorated with images of Lennon himself, views of a yellow submarine, peace signs and numerous quotes from cultural heritage shot dead Beatle.

The authorities have repeatedly tried to “restore order” and catch the graffiti artists decorating the monument with inscriptions. But soon the mayor's office realized that the Wall had become one of the symbols of the city. The easiest way to get to the Mecca of Beatlemaniacs is by metro - to do this you need to take a ride to the Malostranska station.

All 15 objects that we described above are marked for your convenience on the Prague map. Form your “must-see”, save money and go to the Czech Republic for impressions. Bon Voyage!

Great amount tourist places can be found outside the Czech capital. Moreover, some attractions of the regions of the Czech Republic are worthy of a separate trip.

Kutna Hora

Pilsen

The “beer capital” of the Czech Republic and a wonderful example of medieval architecture—this is how visitors to the city see Pilsen. The mandatory program includes the Brewing Museum and a tour of the brewery, national Czech restaurants and a walk through the center. From the city you can reach the Khoteshov Monastery.

Brno

Other cities of the Czech Republic are also rich in unique ancient monuments. Olomouc — former capital Moravia and the “second Prague” in terms of the beauty of its old quarters. Ostrava- one of the centers nightlife, also interesting in terms of cultural and architectural attractions, sightseeing walking routes. Relaxing in Liberec, you can combine visits to castles and museums with active recreation to have time to see the best natural spots in the surrounding area.

Video “Sights of the Czech Republic”

There is a country in Europe whose landscape harmoniously combines deep lakes and mysterious mountains overgrown with dense forests, thermal springs and rushing rivers, green meadows with bright, intoxicatingly fragrant grass and hills overgrown with flowers. The only thing missing here is the sea, but you don’t remember it at all when you find yourself in a Czech fairy tale. We present to your attention the ten most famous historical, cultural and natural attractions of the Czech Republic. Medieval cities, ancient castles, squat breweries, bell towers piercing the clouds with spiers - welcome to the Czech Republic!

1. Magical Prague (Praha)

It is impossible to begin the story about the most beautiful cities of the Czech Republic other than with the beautiful Prague. Who has ever been there knows what we're talking about. The capital is considered not only the most beautiful city in the Czech Republic, enthusiastic tourists often award it the title of the most beautiful city Europe.
