General Information

Czechia, a Central European country, is known for its castles, beer, and historic Prague.

Where Czechia is Located

Czechia (Czech Republic) is a landlocked country in Central Europe, bordered by Germany to the west, Poland to the northeast, Slovakia to the southeast, and Austria to the south. It features rolling hills, forests, and historic cities like Prague. The Bohemian Basin and Moravian Highlands are key geographical regions.

Landscape of Czechia

The Czech Republic's landscape is characterized by rolling hills surrounding the Bohemian Basin, protected by mountain ranges including the Krkonoše (home to Sněžka, the highest peak at 1,603m). The Moravian lowlands in the east feature fertile river valleys, while the southwest contains the Šumava forested highlands. The country's "Bohemian Paradise" region showcases unique sandstone rock formations, and the karst landscapes of the Moravian Karst feature extensive cave systems. Hundreds of castles perch on rocky outcrops overlooking river valleys dotted with ponds and reservoirs.

Czechia, or the Czech Republic, has a temperate continental climate with warm summers and cold winters. The weather is marked by significant temperature differences between seasons, with snow common in winter, especially in the mountainous regions. Summers can be hot, particularly in the lowland areas, but are usually temperate. The country also experiences significant rainfall during the summer months.
