A city of a hundred spires, castles on every hill, spa towns and the country that invented the word robot.
Czechia, in the heart of Europe, is Bohemia and Moravia: a land of castles, Gothic churches, spa towns and fish ponds. It founded the first university of Central Europe, gave us Mendel's laws of heredity, the soft contact lens, the sugar cube and the word 'robot', and in 1989 changed its government in a velvet revolution. See Mucha's posters in Prague, the treasures of the Jewish Museum and the baroque theatre of Český Krumlov.
