Czech Republic
Secret spots from our community
Known for its beer, history, nightlife, and of course its capital city Prague. But the Czech Republic has a lot more to offer, from valleys and vineyards, to lakes and foodie scenes. Get to know it better with Prague resident Janina Michlová from Spotted by Locals who shares local spots from her city, as well as alternative destinations across the country. Our Interrail community also share a couple of secret spots.
Local spots in Czech Republic ⭐
Spotted by Janina Michlová...
I’m an old punk, mother of five kids and a workaholic. I love old walls and Prague is full of them. I write about my favourite spots for Spotted by Locals Prague. Here's my top selection from across the Czech Republic...
Prague
Whenever you travel to Czech Republic, Prague is the city you have to visit - and you shouldn't get stuck in some touristy place. Visit the National Memorial on Vítkov Hill, enjoy the park, have a tour and a coffee, and ask for the viewpoint. You'll have a perfect view of Prague! And when you're there, make a shortcut to the hipster foodie Karlín neighbourhood - through an old tunnel from Žižkov, right under the Vítkov Hill.

Old Castle Stairs
Our favourite find was the Castle Stairs in Prague. Our favourite thing to do while travelling in Europe was to explore without a map and we always ended up stumbling upon some of the most beautiful views and monuments, just like this. The cobblestone streets are a must see!
Getting there by rail: Prague Hlavni Nadrazi (the main station) is 4h 9m direct from Berlin, Germany, or 4h 5m direct from Vienna, Austria.

České Údolí reservoir
I love this place because it felt like home! A perfect spot for swimming and having a bonfire and barbecue with friends. ❤️
