Czech Republic

Discover the Czech Republic – the Heart of Europe

Welcome to Czechia, also known as the Czech Republic — a charming country in Central Europe surrounded by Austria, Germany, Poland, and Slovakia.
With its rolling hills, fairy-tale towns, and rich history, Czechia is a land of culture, craftsmanship, and creativity — the very soul behind every CzechBox we create.

🏰 A Land of Castles and History

Did you know the Czech Republic has more castles and chateaux than any other country in Europe?
Over 2,000 of them! Among the most famous are Karlštejn, Lednice, Hluboká, and of course the magnificent Prague Castle, which you can spot on our homepage.

The capital city Prague is one of Europe’s most visited destinations — home to the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world, stunning Gothic architecture, and timeless charm.

🍺 The Home of Beer

Czech people are known as the world’s biggest beer lovers — and with good reason. The first pale lager, Pilsner Urquell, was brewed in Plzeň in 1842, setting the global standard for lagers. 
Fun fact: in many Czech restaurants, beer is still cheaper than water!


🏗️ Architecture Everywhere You Look

From Romanesque to Gothic, Baroque, Art Nouveau, and even Cubism, Czech cities are open-air museums of architectural beauty.
Every town tells its own story through buildings that have stood the test of time.


🚗 Innovation and Ingenuity

The Czech Republic has given the world more than just great beer. The word “robot” was invented here by writer Karel Čapek in his play Rossum’s Universal Robots.  The first soft contact lenses were created by Czech chemist Otto Wichterle.
And the world-famous car manufacturer Škoda Auto, founded in 1895, still proudly builds vehicles in Mladá Boleslav.

🎾 Sporting Legends

Czechia has a long tradition of sporting excellence. Hockey legend Jaromír Jágr is one of the greatest players in NHL history, and tennis icon Martina Navrátilová ranks among the best female players of all time.
The Czech Fed Cup team has won multiple world titles — proving that talent runs deep in this small country.

💦 Spas, Wafers, and Relaxation

The famous spa towns of Karlovy Vary and Mariánské Lázně have been healing Europe’s elite for centuries — from Beethoven to Goethe. 
When visiting, don’t miss the traditional Mariánské lázeňské oplatky (spa wafers) — thin, crispy rounds filled with hazelnut or cocoa cream. They’re sweet, delicate, and melt in your mouth...
And yes — you can taste them in our CzechBox selection! 😉  


❤️ A Country Full of Flavor and Soul

From castles and craftsmanship to inventions and indulgent sweets, Czechia is a country that celebrates tradition and creativity in everything it does.
And that’s exactly what CzechBox brings to you — a taste of this beautiful country, wrapped with care and ready to share with the world.
