Crowned by the UNESCO-listed town of Kutná Hora with its eerie Sedlec Ossuary and soaring St. Barbara's Cathedral, the region unfolds with enchanted castles—Karlštejn towering above the Berounka valley, Konopiště brimming with Archduke Franz Ferdinand's hunting trophies, and fairy-tale Křivoklát deep in the forests. Riverside cycling trails trace the Vltava and Sázava, past riverside pubs and forgotten villages. Limestone canyons in Bohemian Karst offer dramatic hikes, while the sandstone labyrinths of Kokořínsko lure rock climbers. In spring, rapeseed fields bloom brilliant yellow; autumn sets the vineyards and chateau parks ablaze. Foodies sample pungent Olomouc cheese and rustic Czech lagers in village hospodas. With Prague just a short train hop away, Central Bohemia is the perfect blend of quick day trips and slow-paced countryside escapes—where every hilltop ruin whispers a tale of kings, alchemists, and knights.",[11,14,17,20,23],{"key":12,"value":13},"Universal Emergency","112",{"key":15,"value":16},"Ambulance","155",{"key":18,"value":19},"Police","158",{"key":21,"value":22},"Fire","150",{"key":24,"value":13},"General Emergency",[26,29,32,35,38,41,44,47,50,53,56,59,62,65,68,71,74,77,80,83],{"key":27,"value":28},"Do I need a visa?","EU\u002FEEA citizens can stay visa-free.
