Czech Republic ( Česká republika ). A voyage to Czech Republic, Europe - Prague, Brno, Olomouc, Ostrava, Liberec, Plzeň, Ústí nad Labem, Hradec Králové...









For a country that’s only been around since 1993, the Czech Republic does a fine job of showcasing an exciting history. Here the past becomes real. Castles and chateaux abound, illuminating the stories of powerful families and individuals whose influence was felt well beyond the nation’s current borders. Unravel the history of Bohemia and Moravia, the two ancient lands that now make up the modern Czech Republic and you’re unearthing the history of Europe itself.
And when you’ve had your fill of the past, return to Prague, one of the world’s most beautiful and cultured cities, and one of the most exciting with a dynamic music and arts scene. Down the world’s best beer in the brewery towns of Plzeň and České Budějovice, and discover the laid-back backpacker scenes in Český Krumlov and Telč. Everywhere you go, you’ll meet a forthright people, proud of their heritage, but now confidently taking their place in a modern, united Europe.Show in Lonely Planet

Dombay ( Домбай ). A voyage to Dombay, The Karachay–Cherkess Republic ( Къарачай-Черкес Республика), Russia, Europe.








Zooming through a winding narrow and forested valley, visitors to Dombay are suddenly confronted with a sheer wall of mountains crowned with white shark-teeth summits. This is the heart of the Caucasus. Only those blasé about mountains would fail to be knocked off their perches by this stupendous vista.
Not only can you gawk from the bottom but also easily at 3000m, where you can scan snow peaks, glaciers and distant views.
Skiing, walking, hiking, climbing and plain sightseeing are what attract visitors. New hotels and cafés are being built for an increasing number of visitors; during the peak ski season, late December to April, hotels can be full and prices can triple.
Dombay is at the heart of Teberdinsky Nature Reserve (admission R20) which is rich in flora and fauna.Show in Lonely Planet
