Location of Czech Republic
Czech Republic is situated in central Europe and is bordered by Germany, Poland, the Slovak Republic and Austria. About one quarter of the size of the British isles, Czech Republic has picturesque hills with historic castles, romantic valleys and lakes, as well as excellent facilities to & #8216;take the waters’ at one of the famous spas or to ski and hike in the mountains.

Airports
The international airport is in Prague about 10 miles from the main city and by transport it takes about 30 min to get to and from. Big hotels operate frequent shuttle-bus services during the summer months to the major hotels in the city.

Language
The official language is Czech. German and English are also spoken.

Places To Go
To most tourists Prague is the Czech Republic, but there is much more to see and do throughout the country. Tourism is still new to the country but the strides forward since the Velvet Revolution in 1989 have been remarkable. Spas have been an important cultural phenomenon since the 19th century and, indeed, there are 176 spas in the country today, most of which have only been founded since 1990.
