Rail Holidays in Czech Republic

S trategically positioned at the heart of Europe, the Czech Republic is a gem of a country. The capital Prague is, of course, the main highlight with its Old Town, magnificent castle and the historically significant Wenceslas Square. Look further afield, however, and you will find the picturesque town of Cesky Krumlov, the spa towns of Marianske Lazne and Karlovy Vary, as well as the regional capitals of Brno and Ostrava, all of which are easily reachable by train. Benefitting from a well-developed network of rail lines, travelling around the Czech Republic by train is a very easy and rewarding way to see the country.
