Places To Visit in Czech Republic

Czech Crown is the main and official currency of Czech Republic. Although some hotels, restaurants and shops do accept Euro, German Marks and USD but Czech Crown (CZK) is preferable, as many of them do not. The notes are in denomination of CZK 100, 200, 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000. Almost all the major cards are accepted in the country including Visa, MasterCard/Euro Card, American Express, Diners Club, Discover and Maestro for most of the transactions. One can use them at hotels, international shops and more expensive restaurants, but cash is must for small shops and cheaper eating joints.

The Czech Republic consists of two main areas: Bohemia in the west and Moravia in the east. These two areas are categorized into eight general regions including Central Bohemia, West Bohemia, North Bohemia, East Bohemia, South Bohemia, Bohemian-Moravian Highlands, North Moravia and lastly South Moravia. Where Bohemia comprises of undulating plains, hills, river basin and highland bounded by low mountains, the Moravia based on river basin is a hilly region located most strategically with an area that is an ancient land route between the North European Plain and the Danube. Most of the terrain of the Czech Republic is exceptionally stunning, and still amazingly well preserved.
