The Czech Republic equals adventure
Czech Republic is a landlocked country located in Central Europe. It shares borders with Germany to the west, Austria to the south, Slovakia to the east and Poland to the north. The country bestrides Western Europe and Eastern Europe and therefore is best placed to provide the best of both worlds.
Czech Republic is endowed with beautiful adventure destinations that will give you more than the cultural experience of Eastern and Western Europe. Below are the top adventure destinations in the country.
1. Plzeň
If you love your alcohol, then Plzeň is the place to immerse yourself in the world of beers. It is the birthplace of the pilsener beer and is home to more than 500 varieties of beer. Amazingly, your beer adventure will be complimented by the wide variety of outdoor activities. The Plzeň neighborhood is located on the convergence of 4 rivers.
2. Holašovice and Český Krumlov
These are Bohemian villages that will give you enough places to explore for the whole of your vacation. With over 300 historical buildings, many festivals, lovely gardens and dozens of farmhouses, these idyllic villages will take you on a journey of Bohemian way of life.

Czech Republic is a cross-cultural country with some places featuring Eastern Europe culture while others feature Western Europe culture. It is also one of the most toured countries in Europe. If I were you, I would make a detour in Czech Republic during my European adventure tour.
