This cultural journey will begin in Prague, where travelers will explore the city’s historic landmarks and surrounding Central Bohemian towns, including Lysá nad Labem and Poděbrady. The group will then continue to Moravia, visiting Santini’s UNESCO masterpiece in Žďár nad Sázavou, the birthplace of composer Bohuslav Martinů in Polička, and the traditional indigo workshop in Olešnice. From there, the journey will lead through the Moravian countryside to Bratislava and onward to Vienna. Returning through southern Moravia, travelers will visit Znojmo, Moravský Krumlov to see Alfons Mucha’s monumental Slavic Epic, and a family farm in Níhov for a hands-on baking experience. The tour will conclude in Prague, with an excursion to Plzeň, home of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery and the General Patton Memorial, and time to enjoy the beauty and atmosphere of the Czech capital.
