Moravia, The Gem Of The Czech Republic


 

The Moravian region in eastern Czech Republic has been described as a unique open-air museum of religious heritage, where generations of monarchs - as well as commoners - built magnificent monuments devoted to their faith. Moravia is surely the most religious part of the country: it is filled with pilgrimage shrines, towering churches, and stately palaces. Many of the locations we’ll visit are part of the venerated UNESCO World Heritage list. Let’s get off the beaten track in the Czech Republic and see what Moravia has to offer!

 
Purchase Tour Options

Tips in this Tour:
US Citizens do not need a visa to stay in the Czech Republic for visits of up to 90 days. Other nationalities should check with the consulate or embassy of their country.
Prague is the capital and largest city of the Czech Republic, thus it is a transportation hub for much of Central Europe. A large “art nouveau” train station and a modern, international airport serve the city. An extensive road system weaves through the country. The high-speed train to Olomouc and Brno that crosses Moravia to Bratislava, Slovakia and beyond, departs from the main train station in Prague. It is the quickest way to reach Moravia.
The Czech Tourism Office offers good printed information booklets about Moravia, upon request, or consult their informative website: http://www.czechtourism.com/ 
The Moravian people of the Czech Republic are friendly and welcoming, probably because tourism is far less developed there than it is in Prague and the closer Bavarian towns.
