Why go

Prague sits within the region that became the core of the Bohemian kingdom. The Krkonoše, Bohemian Forest and Ore Mountains help mark its wider edges, while the Vltava and Elbe tie many inland journeys together. Keeping Bohemia distinct from Moravia makes castle, town and landscape choices easier to place geographically.

What to look for

  • Prague and the historic Bohemian royal centre
  • The Vltava and Elbe river landscapes
  • Mountain edges including the Krkonoše and Bohemian Forest

Useful to know

  • Use Bohemia as a regional orientation term when comparing Prague, western Czech towns and the mountain borders with Moravia.
