Central Bohemia (Středočeský kraj) encircles Prague with a landscape of medieval castles, limestone gorges, UNESCO heritage towns, and pastoral river valleys. The region holds more castles per square kilometer than almost anywhere in Europe, anchored by the iconic Karlštejn Castle, the silver-mining heritage of Kutná Hora, and the forested wilderness of the Bohemian Karst.

Family travel tips
Practical advice for stress-free family trips.
Build downtime into every day — over-scheduled kids melt down faster than tired adults.
Carry snacks, water, and a small first-aid kit at all times.
Many attractions offer discounted family tickets — ask at the ticket window.
