Regions of the Czech Republic
This country is not even included in the first hundred in the list of world powers in terms of territory, but at the same time it has an administrative-territorial system consisting of five levels. The first step involves dividing into areas, which are called edges here. There are thirteen regions on the country's map, while Prague is an independent territorial entity. At the second level, the regions of the Czech Republic are divided into 77 districts, which, in turn, into 205 communities with expanded powers. Then, on the administrative map, communities of the second level appear, of which there are almost four hundred, and at the final stage, the territory of the Czech Republic resembles a patchwork quilt collected from 6250 communities of the lower level..
Repeating the alphabet
Despite some complexity of the administrative-territorial structure, trips to various regions of the Czech Republic are not technically unusual. Using a car for movement, you can always count on the availability of correct and timely road signs throughout the country..
The most populated regions of the Czech Republic are the Central Bohemian, South Moravian and Moravian-Silesian regions. Each of them is home to more than a million people, and Prague, Brno and Ostrava - the administrative capitals of these regions - are also popular tourist centers. The smallest region of the Czech Republic is the Karlovy Vary Region, where famous healing springs and the best European health resorts are located.
Familiar strangers
At all times, Prague has been the main tourist region of the country, but in addition to the capital's sights in the Czech Republic, there is something to see even for a sophisticated traveler:
- The name of the city of Pilsen and the region of the same name can tell a lot to a true connoisseur of natural beauty. It is here, in the historical region of Bohemia, that the Bohemian Forest is located, which is a mountain range and a national park. Winter sports and summer hiking - the Bohemian Forest area provides the traveler with unique recreational opportunities. Bonus - excursions to ancient monasteries and castles of Bohemia.
- The region of the Czech Republic, called the Pardubice Region, is especially good in spring. Picturesque landscapes and UNESCO World Heritage Sites on the territory of the region are a worthy reason to visit Pardubice and its environs, and events within the framework of the Musical Spring in Pardubice festival will add a special emotional color to the trip..
