• Get a different perspective and see Prague's stunning architecture and ornate bridges from the comfort of a Vlatva River cruise.
• Enjoy a classical concert in one of Prague's many atmospheric venues, which include churches, concert halls and the outdoor stages.
• Indulge in a spa treatment at the thermal springs and mineral baths of Bohemia and Moravia. The king of spa towns, Karlovy Vary, has attracted the crowned heads of Europe to bathe in its sulphurous waters.
• Go hiking in the Sumava/Bohemian Forest, the country's largest national park. The park includes glacial lakes, many areas of virgin forest and important historic monuments. Good winter sports centres include Zelezna Ruda, Spicak, Zadov, Churanov and Kramolin.
• Get fit downhill or cross-country skiing in Krkonoše (Giant Mountains) National Park, the Czech Republic's premier downhill skiing destination, and myriad other resorts.
• Cast a line at the fishing lakes of South Bohemia and Lednice-Valtice (contact the Czech Anglers Union (website: www.crsplzen.cz) for more information), or kayak on rivers like Luznice, upper Vltava and Sazava.
• Go caving in the extensive underground karst system of Moravsky Kras (Moravian karst), near Brno. Alternatively take a guided tour of the Balcarka, Katerinska, Punkva or Sloupsko-Sosuvske caves.
• Sample Czech wine at the Melnik Chateau, or take a bicycle tour of the Southern Moravian vineyards on the Moravian Wine Cycle Routes (website: www.vinarske.stezky.cz). In September attend wine festivals in Melnik and Kadan.
• Visit the castle in Moravsky Krumlov and admire the great painting on display in its Mucha Gallery, inlcuding the Slovanska epopej (The Slav Epic), a story which unfolds over 20 enormous canvases.
• Hike or climb amidst the spectacular scenery of Český Ráj (Bohemian paradise), with its mini-canyons, steep bluffs of volcanic rocks, dense forests and attractive castles. Visit the sandstone ‘rock town' Prachovské skály.
• Travel back in time at the open-air skansen (folk museum) at Roznov pod Radhostem. The museum has three distinctive parts - the Little Wooden Town, the Water Mill Valley (with technical buildings), and Wallachian Village (with residential dwellings and farmhouses).
