Camping Aktief
Czech Republic, East Bohemia, Kralovehradecky, Vernerovice

Camping Aktief is a small, rural site on the outskirts of the village of Vernerovice. The campsite is close to the Polish border, east of the Krkonose (Giant) Mountains.

The owners, Bert and Mien van Kampen, are happy to share their knowledge of the local area, including some good restaurants.

Visitors will enjoy the cycling routes which have been set out in the national park.

Autocamping Morava
Czech Republic, North Moravia, Severomoravsky, Mohelnice

This is an interesting area of contrasts – heavy industry, fertile plains and soaring mountains. Mohelnice is a small industrial town but the campsite is in a peaceful setting surrounded by trees on the northern edge. The amenities on offer, particularly for children, may tempt one to stay longer.

Camping Slunce Žandov

Cisarská Louka Caravan Park
Czech Republic, Central Bohemia, Prague, Praha 5

This city site on the Cisarská Louka Island is about the closest campsite you can get to the centre of Prague. Right behind the site, which is on the premises of the local yacht club, a small boat takes you across the Moldau River to the nearest metro station for the city centre (hourly until 19.30). This is a useful site for a visit to Prague if you can cope with the basic toilet facilities. The site is arranged on one large, well fenced field providing 50 touring pitches, 40 with electricity (16A Europlug). Pitching is rather haphazard off a gravel access road running half way up the site.

Situated close to the Vltava river and with good access to Prague, River Camping is a friendly site and an excellent base for visiting the city, but also for enjoying a range of outdoor activities such as cycling, walking and canoeing. Prague Old Town is just four kilometres away and can be reached by tram, metro and bicycle.

Camping Chvalsiny
Czech Republic, South Bohemia, Jihocesky, Chvalsiny

Camping Chvalsiny is Dutch-owned and has been developed from an old farm into real camping fields which are terraced and level. The pitches are of average size but look more substantial because of the open nature of the terrain, which also means there is little shade. Chvalsiny is a real family site, and children are kept occupied with painting, crafts and stories. Older youngsters take part in soccer, volleyball and rafting competitions. The location in the middle of the Blanky Les nature reserve, part of the vast Sumava forest, provides excellent opportunities for walking, cycling and fishing. It also has a rich culture and heritage. You can visit the charming UNESCO world heritage registered village of Cesky Krumlov with its impressive castle and scenic centre is the most important.

Holiday Park Lisci Farma
Czech Republic, North Bohemia, Vychodocesky, Vrchlabi

New owners took over this campsite in early 2019. The new ownership is good news as this used to be a truly excellent site and we're looking forward to seeing the further improvements they have promised. Considering its amenities, pitches and welcome Lisci Farma retains a pleasant Czech atmosphere. In the winter months, when local skiing is available, snow chains are essential. The 150 pitches (reduced from the previous 250) are relatively flat, although the terrain is slightly sloping and some pitches are terraced. There is shade, and some pitches have hardstanding. The site is well equipped for the whole family with its adventure playground offering trampolines for children, archery, beach volleyball. Russian bowling and an outdoor bowling court for older youngsters. A beautiful sandy, lakeside beach is 800 m. from the entrance.

Camping 2000
Czech Republic, North Bohemia, Severocesky, Januv Dul

Created from pleasant farm buildings and the fields behind them, Camping 2000 is especially popular with Dutch visitors. It is a good base for exploring Northern Bohemia with Prague (90 km) and the Krkonose mountains (50 km) from a pleasant, rural location. Most of the pitches are of average size (up to 100 sq.m) and numbered, all with 6A electricity. There is little shade and cars parked on the pitches can make the curved rows feel a bit crowded during high season. Further off, there are a few pitches catering for larger units. The social heart of the site is a large barn with a bar and a takeaway serving pizzas and typical Dutch snacks. Outdoors, a terrace overlooks a paddling pool and a larger, circular swimming pool featuring a 48 m. waterslide.

Intercamp Kotva
Czech Republic, Central Bohemia, Prague, Praha

Kotva is pleasantly situated directly by the River Vltava and has been subject to heavy flooding in the past, which destroyed some buildings and most of the trees. There is clearly a continuing risk of flooding, so care should be taken when visiting this site.

Czech Republic

When most people think of the Czech Republic, they immediately think of Prague, its historic and enchanting capital. But while there’s every reason to discover this buzzing city, camping in the Czech Republic can offer a more laid-back, scenic experience if you’re willing to find it.

The eastern region of Moravia borders Poland, Slovakia and Austria and is characterised by the jagged peaks of mountain ranges such as the White Carpathians, which form its eastern boundary. The rolling countryside is peppered with small vineyards, which can be explored by bicycle, and the Moravian Karst region is a landscape steeped in myth that features some of the country's most exceptional scenery. Boat trips run along the subterranean River Punkva, enabling you to explore the famous Macocha Abyss, a cavern 138m deep.

A trip to Prague is undoubtedly worth the effort, even if you're camping in the Czech Republic to escape city life. Romantic and changeable, it is a cosmopolitan capital with numerous cultural influences most apparent in its diverse assortment of architectural styles, from Gothic and Rococo to Cubist. Sample traditional Czech cuisines, such as Silesian pierogi, potato dough filled with pork crackling, sauerkraut or smoked meat, in one of the speciality restaurants and wash it down with a refreshing beer.

Shopping in the Czech Republic

The Czech Republic is quite the traveller's paradise and a trendy destination for shopping. One fact about the country is that it has the highest density of shopping centres per person on the continent, so if you are looking for a great shopping experience Prague and the Czech Republic's other cities are great places to explore.

Chodov Shopping Centre is the biggest shopping mall in Prague. Commonly known as Chodov, it is located in the heart of the capital city and entertains over 13 million people every year from all corners of the world. In addition to shops of world-famous brands, the vast centre also houses a cinema, restaurants and cafes.

Prague's most excellent density of shopping addresses can be found at the "Golden Cross", not far from Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square. Luxury labels have set up shop on Paris Street, a famous shopping street that forms a transition between the Old and New Towns.

Kolbenova Flea Market in Prague is a great market to explore for those who like to collect unusual things and objects with history. This is the largest flea market in the Czech Republic, where stallholders sell antiques and new items of different value. The market is open on weekends from 7:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

Stores outside Prague and on the outskirts tend to open at 8 or 9 a.m. (large grocery stores at 7 a.m.) and close at 6 or 7 p.m. Some stores are closed during lunch hours. The hours are shorter on Saturdays, and most stores, except supermarkets, are closed on Sundays.

Stores in the centre of Prague and shopping malls have longer hours. Supermarkets stay open until 8 or 10 p.m.; some are open 24 hours daily. Most stores in the Prague city centre and tourist locations are available on weekends.

Czech Republic Money

As a tourist in the Czech Republic, it is relatively easy to obtain the local currency, the Czech koruna (CZK), sometimes referred to as the Czech crown in English and the koruna Česká (Kč) in Czech. Most major cities and tourist areas have banks, ATMs, and exchange bureaus that offer currency exchange services. ATMs are widely available in most cities and towns, and they typically accept major credit and debit cards, such as Visa, Mastercard, and Maestro.

The best exchange rates are usually found in bureaux de change. Banks typically charge a 2% commission, and hotels and airport currency exchange are traditionally more expensive, so it's worth shopping around to find the best deal. It's also advisable to carry a mix of cash and cards, as some smaller shops and restaurants may not accept cards, particularly in more rural areas.

Obtaining local currency in the Czech Republic is relatively straightforward, and most major payment methods are widely accepted. It's always a good idea to inform your bank or credit card company of your travel plans to avoid any issues with card usage while abroad.

Czech Republic Climate

CZECH REPUBLIC WEATHER

The Czech Republic has a temperate climate in the transition zone between the oceanic and continental climate types, with warm summers and cold, cloudy and snowy winters. The temperature difference between summer and winter is due to the landlocked geographical position.

Temperatures vary depending on the elevation. In general, at higher altitudes, the temperatures decrease and precipitation increases. The wettest area in the Czech Republic is found around Bílý Potok in the Jizera Mountains, and the driest region is the Louny District to the northwest of Prague.

In Prague, the summers are comfortable; the winters are very cold, snowy, windy, and partly cloudy year-round. Over the year, the temperature typically varies from -3°C to 25°C and is rarely below -12°C or above 31°C.
