Marek is an excellent guide! We enjoyed how he kept the tour going at a good pace while also allowing plenty of time to take in the scenery. He took pictures for everyone in the group and shared points of interest and history as we passed relevant sites. At the restaurant (which was delicious!), he made great reccommendations regarding which traditional Czech dishes to try. At every turn, he kept us informed of what we were doing and where we were going so that we always knew what to expect. The Bohemian Switzerland Park and Bastei bridge were phenomenal sites to see! Pictures don't begin to do it justice, but suffice it to say this tour should be on your bucket list for sure!

We've been there in December but the best time to visit this place would be most probably the summertime. Prepare for some small hiking. We were not ready for that but despite all the sweat it was worth to see it all. You will see some wild animals but don't be deceived by some comments about bringing the food for them. Don't do it. We bought a full package of carrots and...it turned out to be a huge mistake. You can't feed animals there. If you do it remember about 5k CZK you may pay for it (fine). I recommend this place to literally everyone who likes to stay healthy ???????? And don't bring food for animals!!!!!! ????

About 2 km long walk on wooden path (slipery in wet weather) drives to torf lake. Panels around the path tell the story of Slavkovsky forest and the importance of wood and torf. Look under your feets. You can recognize tracks of some animals living in the forest. Follow the boards of the path. There is restaurant in Kladska village to enjoy local food. The path is closed in winter.

We had a great experience with Snowmonkey in Spindleruv Mlyn. Our private ski teacher (and co-owner) Tomas was simply amazing : very professionnal, knowledgeable, patient and friendly. Our two sons (11 and 9 yrs old) had only skied once in their lives. Unfortunately, for the 9 year old it wasn't a good experience. That's why we really wanted an excellent private teacher for 5 days, who's good with children who are a bit slower in learning, and at an affordable rate - certainly compared to Austria or France. That was the reason to come to Spindleruv Mlyn, and we haven't regretted it for one second! Tomas was fantastic, great personality and the best teacher you could get. And the result and progress he achieved in only a few days with our son was more than we ever expected. So a big hug and thanks to Snowmonkey and Tomas!

Diana is perhaps the most popular tourist attraction in Karlovy Vary. Take the funicular from colonnade street to get direct to this beautiful place incl. best famous look-out tower, 100 y. old restaurant, forest terrace, butterfly house and mini-zoo. Only in restaurant Diana you can eat surrounded by spa forests while watching our peacocks. From the look-out tower Diana you can take perfect photos of whole Karlovy Vary and surroundings. The butterfly house is a perfect goal of your trip in all weathers. On winter warm up by large fireplace in our historical restaurant, on summer surely use walking paths through the spa forests which starts right from our place. Visiting the "Tourist area Diana" will be nice and relaxing part of your trip to Karlovy Vary and you can come all year long. Who has not been at the Diana Observation Tower, has not seen Karlovy Vary!

Lovely park with beautiful views looking down to the old town areas. Big and clean park and nice paths. Very possible to walk from old town to the park. Many public transports to get there. There are two very big beer gardens indifferent location of the park, both with fantastic views. Most evenings have musics. We were there till quite late at night, I was told by my friends who live in the area that people stay in the park till morning during weekends and holidays.
9. Prague Zoo
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 10,489 reviews
Prague Zoological Garden is situated near the center of the Czech capital, in a unique rugged landscape on the bank of the Vltava River. It opened in 1931 and during its existence of more than 80 years it has risen to become one of the most prestigious zoos in the world. Today, it is the second most visited tourist destination in the Czech Republic, just after Prague Castle. 5,049 animals and 676 species live in Prague Zoo. You can explore 13 pavilions and 150 exhibits over 58 hectares. The kids will love the Bororo Reserve, chairlift, mini-train, observation tower, paddling pool and Children’s Zoo. The pride of the zoo is its Elephant Valley, home to a sizeable herd of Asian elephants. The Giant Salamander House, where you can see the largest amphibians in the world – the critically endangered Chinese Giant Salamanders – is extraordinary as well; and the African House with an adjacent vast meadow inhabited by herds of antelopes and giraffes is worth your attention, too.

A great day, discount tickets (over 60) we got there and first saw the polar bear happily swimming around, and next enjoyed the Hippos swimming and playing, the elephants were sunning themselves, the giant tortoises were stamping around, but most impressive were the feeding lions and tigers, inside on display up close through the armoured glass. There were penguins, vultures, mountain goats, giraffes, but our highlight were the lions and tigers Fully recommended
