Welcome to the Czech Republic

Since time immemorial, the Czech lands have been the crossroads of European cultures. The cultural character of Czech cities, villages and spa towns have always been a source of inspiration to visitors and guests, who came from all corners of the world. The Czech Republic, the youngest in the family of European countries, was born in 1993 when the Czechoslovak Federal Republic split into two independent states. In 2004, the Czech Republic became an official member of the European Union. The Czech Republic is also a full-fledged NATO member.

The population of the Czech republic is 10.3 mil.people. Even though the Czech Republic's area of 78 864 square kilometres ranks it among small countries, its wealth of natural beauty and monuments of cultural heritage contribute greatly to its global prestige as a major cultural destination.
