From Kafka to Bohemian glassware: Visit the Czech Republic.
Art, culture and culinary delights: A visit to the Czech Republic is always an experience.
Pay a visit to Prague, the Golden City on the Vltava River. Hradcany Castle affords a spectacular view of the perfectly preserved Old Town with its numerous coffeehouses. Follow in the footsteps of Mozart, Kafka or Smetana and discover the secrets of Czech beer, Bohemian cooking and Bohemian glassware.
You can also travel from Switzerland to the South Bohemian city of České Budějovice (Budweis) and its world famous Budvar brewery. This 13th century town, with its checkerboard grid of mediaeval streets, its many historic buildings and its traditional butcher’s shops – dating from the Renaissance and now serving delicious South Bohemian specialities – is an enchanting jewel.
You can get to Prague in the comfort and convenience of the Basel SBB–Dresden night train, offering sleeping cars and couchettes.
