Places to visit near Prague by car

What a great day to go somewhere to explore a new place not far from Prague so we won’t get tired. Is there’s anything beautiful around Prague? Let’s see where our clients mostly drove in the past month, Car Rental Prague.



Dresden, Germany
It’s only 147 kilometers from Prague by car. 1 hour and 50 minutes and you are in Germany! Wow!

By the way, we don’t have extra fees for crossing the border.

There are few city silhouettes more striking than Dresden’s. The classic view from the Elbe’s northern bank takes inspires, towers and domes belonging to palaces, churches, and stately buildings, and indeed it’s hard to believe that the city was all but wiped off the map by Allied bombings in 1945.

Dresden’s cultural heyday came during the 18th-century reigns of Augustus the Strong (August der Starke) and his son Augustus III, who sponsored many of Dresden’s iconic buildings, including the Zwinger and the Frauenkirche. While the devastating 1945 Allied firestorm leveled most of these treasures, their contents were safely removed before the bombings and now take pride of place in Dresden’s rebuilt museums.

Across the river from this treasure trove of classic art and architecture, Dresden’s Neustadt has dozens of funky restaurants, shops and one of the liveliest nightlife scenes in Germany’s east.

Cesky Krumlov

172 kilometers and 1 hour and 52 minutes to go from Prague.

Cesky Krumlov is a small town in the South Bohemia region of the Czech Republic and is very easy to visit on a day trip (or longer) from Prague. And visit this town you certainly should.

If and when you walk around the town of Cesky Krumlov in the spring or the summer you will swear you are walking through a fairy tale landscape, the sort that filled your imagination as you lay in bed after a bedtime story by Hans Christian Andersen.

Adventure seems right around the corner, valiant knights and colorful bards might be hiding in every medieval house, and magic might actually be real. It might sound a tad corny, but that’s really how Cesky Krumlov made us feel, and how it will most likely make you feel as well.

Blatna castle 

98 kilometers and 1 hour and 24 minutes on the ride

Want to feel yourself in a fairytale? There’s a place for that not far from Prague. Blatna Castle and Park is the place where you can meet real deers and even feed them! Don’t forget to take apples or a carrot, deers love it.

In that beautiful place a lot of traditional restaurants also that must be visited.



Czech Switzerland national park

Home to verdant gulches, towering sandstone cliffs, peaceful swaths of farmland, quaint little villages, and majestic rock formations Bohemian Switzerland is a delight for all outdoor enthusiasts.

Among the many highlights of the region is the Pravcicka Brana (Pravcicka Gate), pictured above, which is the largest sandstone arch formation in Europe. It is a towering monument to the beauty and organic creativity of mother nature and is not to be missed when visiting Bohemian Switzerland.

So if you are a lover of the outdoors, take some time to get out of the city when visiting Prague, and give Bohemian Switzerland a shot.

Meet Karlovy Vary, an ideal day trip destination from Prague for lovers of spas, mineral springs, architecture, and relaxation.

Karlovy Vary has long been famed in Eastern and Central Europe, playing host to countless visitors coming to sample the natural hot springs that run underneath its surface.

Although most people flock to the town to partake in activities involving its “curative” waters, there is more to do in Karlovy Vary, the Czech Republic than just spas and dubious medical treatments. Wander along cobblestone streets to admire the colorful architecture, hit the trails around town to find some lovely views, or pay a trip to a glassworks factory; there are more things to do in Karlovy Vary than first meets the eye.
