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.
Central Bohemian cuisine is rooted in hearty Bohemian tradition — svíčková (beef sirloin in cream sauce), pork knee, duck with dumplings and red cabbage, goulash, and freshwater fish from the Elbe and Sázava rivers. Kutná Hora and Mělník add wine-pairing culture; Benešov is known for Ferdinand craft beer. Restaurant Chateau Mcely elevates local ingredients to fine dining.
