Top Reasons to Go Outside of Prague
Visit spooky Sedlec: The Kostnice outside of Kutná Hora is a mesmerizing church decorated with human bones.
Find a storybook come to life: A true medieval castle—babbling brook and all—can be found in Karlštejn.
Take a historic tour: The home of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, whose assassination started World War I, is remarkably well preserved in Konopiště; look for the bear living in the moat.
Pay remembrance to the past: In Terezín, a baroque fortress turned into a concentration camp is both powerful and chilling.
Sample the wine: It’s not all about beer. Try the locally produced wine at pretty Mělník.
