The Czech Republic has the most developed golf scene in Central and Eastern Europe. Newer clubs such as Golf Resort Karlstejn, Golf Park Plzen and Golf Resort Konopiste stack up with their continental peers. Not for nothing has the country been voted Best Undiscovered Golf Destination by the International Association of Golf Tour Operators.
Capital Prague is one of Europe's most beautiful cities and a major tourist destination, rich in historical and architectural wonders that largely survived World War II and 50 years of Nazi and communist rule. Must-see highlights include the Jewish Quarter and cemetery, Charles Bridge, Prague Castle and Old Town Square, and there countless hidden treasures to found exploring the backstreets of the Old Town and Mala Strana neighborhoods. And, of course, Czech beer is famously delicious (and famously cheap). The city has more than 10,000 pubs, many in characterful cellars, selling pivo into the wee hours of the morning.
