Have you fallen in love, and are you in search for the perfect place to take your chosen one for a visit? Would you like an experience that is both entertaining and romantic in one? Then make your way to the Czech Republic, the last home of legendary seducer Casanova, the place where the great poet Goethe fell in love, and where Mozart’s opera Don Giovanni had its world premiere.
If your nature is truly romantic, why not arrange to have your wedding in one of the countless fairy-tale castles or palaces of the Czech Republic? A more romantic setting can hardly be imagined! Another choice would be a ceremony in the medieval town hall of one of the historic royal towns of Bohemia.
The Czech capital is one of the most beautiful places on earth – a space of magic, and a true paradise for the romantic spirit. Here you can walk along narrow medieval streets lit by authentic gaslight, row quietly together along the Vltava River or stop in a cosy café where time stopped a century ago.
The fame of Moravian and Bohemian wines now reaches far beyond the Czech borders. A romantic dinner requires a bottle of good wine, so enjoy the refreshing wines of the Czech Republic, best drunk by two.
A visit to the castles and palaces of the Czech Republic guarantees romance. And what’s more, there are over 2000 of them! A tour of the buildings themselves can be conjoined with a visit to an art gallery, a concert of period music, a fencing tournament or medieval fair. And more than a few chateaux and castles offer accommodation and a truly romantic night.
The last frontier still left untamed and untrammelled is the time of night. You too can rank among the first colonisers of the darkness – while the rest of the world sleeps, come to see the other, nocturnal side of the Czech Republic. Only this way can you know the unknown and add to your visit to the heart of Europe a pinch of true adventure! On offer are many night tours of cities, castles, chateaux and even zoos and museums.
The great majority of Czech and Moravian towns have extremely long histories, with written records reaching back into the earliest medieval days. Set off to discover the smaller towns of Bohemia and Moravia and their fascinating historic centres, where you will believe you have somehow fallen back centuries in time.
Towering cliff formations, vineyards, lakes or quiet meadows – all these sights ideal for a romantic get-away can be found in the Czech Republic in astonishing numbers. If you enjoy views from mountain ridges, or strolls in the mysterious forests beside fishponds and rivers, you’re in the right place. Thanks to the small size of the Czech Republic, travellers can pass through many greatly differing types of landscape in a matter of a few hours.
The tradition of formal balls lives on in 21st-century Czech Republic. And, in contrast to many other parts of Europe, the balls held here are not restricted to the highest social levels, but in fact attract a broad spectrum of the public. Ladies in sweeping gowns and gentlemen in their best suits dancing till dawn can be your companions in the romantic ball of your dreams.
Are you of a sporting turn, and are your concepts of the romantic linked to a shared experience of extreme sports? Then during your visit to the Czech Republic you should seek out the many different sporting activities in which your love is further strengthened and flavoured with unexpected experiences.
Another definite part of romance is heading out together into the night to enjoy clubs, discotheques, or simply an evening at the theatre. The centre of night life in the Czech Republic is unquestionably Prague, where the offerings in this vein are fully comparable to those of any European metropolis.

Literature lovers know Lipnice nad Sázavou as the place where author J. Hašek lived the last years of his life and where he wrote his most famous works, The Fateful Adventures of the Good Soldier Švejk. Its house with exhibits is located directly beneath a rocky ridge, on which one of the largest Czech castles was constructed at the beginning of the 14th century.
The main attraction of Kroměříž, the town nicknamed the Athens of Hanacko, is its archiepiscopal chateau, which along with the chateau gardens and flower gardens are on the UNESCO list of worldwide cultural and natural heritage sites. For hundreds of zears, the chateau served as a residence for the bishops of Olomouc, and a series of important events occurred within its walls. There are also many other sites worth seeing in Kroměříž, such as the pontifical mint, featuring a collection of church issued coins and medals, the Baroque Church of St. John the Baptist with its interior in Rococo style and the house with a Renaissance entrance section on Velké náměstí square, which houses exhibits of the Kroměříž Museum and a monument to Max Švabinský.
