Not everyone wants to rough it by going backpacking and camping. Even without camping on the floor, there are still ways to enjoy all of the Czech Republic’s beautiful nature. In North Bohemia, try sleeping in a treehouse for a unique blend of nature and luxury.

Treehouse pod Ještědem, located in the forest by Ještěd Mountain near Liberec in North Bohemia, offers spacious accommodation for two, plus the option to add two beds to fit a family. Learn more about the treehouse here.

The Relaxing Getaway

There’s no better way to relax in the Czech Republic than at a spa. Spa culture in the Czech lands and central Europe can be traced back to medieval and perhaps even Roman times when health-seekers visited natural springs in search of cures for a number of ailments.

Nowadays, the country’s top resorts and spa hotels have reinvented spa services to cater to overworked, modern spa-goers seeking both relaxation and restorative treatments. But due to coronavirus, spas across the country have suffered and are offering special deals for relaxation seekers.

The History Buff

As well as the column, the city has a unique astronomical clock, a fortress, and a rare collection of churches and fountains.

The Romantic Getaway

The Czech Republic offers so many romantic getaways for just you and your sweetheart. Take an extended weekend away at a Czech chateau to reconnect and spend quality time together.

Spa Hotel Vráž, a neo-Gothic style castle built in 1875, is located south of Prague and offers a variety of comprehensive spa treatments for guests. The building is surrounded by beautiful greenery and an English park and forest.

The Czech aristocratic Lobkowicz family lived in the castle each summer until 1926. You can use the 4,000 CZK spa voucher from the Czech government at this facility, too.

If you’re looking for something a little different, Liblice Chateau, by the Italian architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi, also offers a unique opportunity for couples to reconnect for some time away.
