Czechia

Beyond Prague

Prague is famous around the world, with its castle, bridges and spires, but Czech pride runs through every town and region. People are loyal to the place they grew up, and to the countryside around it.

The weekend cottage

Many Czech families have a weekend cottage in the countryside, and leaving the city on Friday for the cottage is a cherished ritual. Mushroom picking in the forest is a national pastime, and people guard their favourite spots carefully.

Traditions people miss

Christmas has its own traditions, including the custom of buying a live carp for Christmas Eve dinner. Czechs abroad also talk about bread, beer culture and the friendly local pub.

What we design here
