Advantages: Varied Culture, Warm people

People talk about the Czech Republic, when they really mean Prague. Prague is like most major cities in Europe, its big, beautiful, and has its own certain cultures to attract tourists, it is however, too commercial for my liking (read my other reviews ab ... Read review

Advantages: Attractive setting,spectacular hot springs.
Disadvantages: Expensive.

Karlovy vary is about an hour from Prague by bus. Bus transport is cheap in the Czech republic so a day trip is posssible if somewhat exhausting. The things you must see are the hot springs that spurt up to 100 feet in the air, the old hotel pup that se ... Read review

Advantages: Compact city with good shopping centre.Much less commercial than Prague,it has fewer cultural or historical sights of interest.Several hotels situated on Lake Brno offer good value for money and are only a short train journey into the city centre.
Disadvantages: Some distance from other Czech tourist areas.Brno doesnt have the cultural attraction of Prague.

We visited Brno during the sumer of 2003. We stayed in a hotel overloking Lake Brno during a period of glorious weather. For less that £100 per night we had a suite of 2 double rooms, living room two bathrooms and dressing area and two balconies. Brno ... Read review

What I really liked about this review (OK, I have to admit that I skimmed most of it and only read carefuly the Polish section) is how well you managed to grasp the fundamental difference between Poland and UK: the fact that the countryside is where the poverty, the squalor, the undercalss, the barbarism even is. It took me years of learning about British culture to realise this difference: that (simplifying) all that is the best about British (OK, maybe just English) culture, way of life etc is in the countryside (brainwave while walking rounch Cheshire village) while where I come from it's the dark, primitive and squalid. This has of course a lot to do with the demise of landed gentry after the communist took power and initiated the land reform in 1945; but not just that. Anyway, I am waffling so better stop. BTW where you have been is not THAT bad. by magdadh
