From the Back Cover:

From its beautiful and bustling medieval capital to undulating countryside and snow-capped mountains, the Czech Republic is truly enchanting. Vibrant and varied, it is peppered with sleepy provincial towns, dramatic hilltop castles and unspoilt woodland--offering rich rewards for those visitors willing to look beyond the much-loved Prague. Marc Di Duca guides you expertly and enthusiastically through a country he knows inside out. Discover elegant spa towns, deep pine forests and alpine meadows. Whether you wish to hike through the wilds of the Sumava National Park, savor the wines of South Moravia or revel in Prague's heady nightlife, Bradt's Czech Republic is the perfect travel companion.
