Prague is a stunning medieval city that has so much sightseeing potential that it attracts millions every year. And while there are some other popular spots in the Czech Republic, the country as a whole doesn’t always get the appreciation and exploration that it deserves. Thus, even after visiting the capital and experiencing many of its hotspots, revisiting the country should not be overlooked. Instead, seeking alternative experiences offers opportunities to more deeply engage with the culture and enjoy oneself.

There’s fun in tactical training 

For those with an interest in precision and tactical skills, the Czech Republic has some incredibly compelling tactical training facilities. What we mean by this is a mixture of testing focus and discipline with aiming some heavy-duty firearms under the guidance of former military and police professionals. 

Shooting in Prague is a great way to experience firing a rifle in a controlled and professional environment. The activity offers more than just an adrenaline rush, providing expert advice in a stunning setting.

Finding the reasons behind Czech’s brewing dominance

The Czech Republic is world-renowned for its beer, perhaps being the pound-for-pound number one beer country given its modest size. While there are many great drinking spots all around Prague, it’s worth heading over to Pilsen, in part to see the Pilsner Urquell brewery, which is where this beer style all began. 

There are a bunch of technical tours across the country that go deeper into the brewing process, from the specifics of Saaz hops to the intricacies of decoction mashing. In fact, a brewing course, where participants learn the fundamentals of the craft from a local brewmaster, is a fantastic experience in this great brewing nation. In this way, attendees gain an understanding of the chemistry and artistry required to make Czech beer a global standard.

Seeing the Czech wilderness

Because the Czech Republic has such an amazing history and culture, meaning that its urban areas are filled with incredible churches and architecture, we often forget about its nature. The country has a wide range of well-maintained hiking trails that crisscross its various national parks, such as Bohemian Switzerland or Šumava. It may appear as a small nation, but these are no walks in the park, there are some serious trekking opportunities for those into orienteering and nature. 

For a more technical challenge, consider rock climbing in the sandstone formations of the Adršpach-Teplice Rocks. After all, this is the birthplace of Adam Ondra, one of the world’s best climbers. These regions have a range of routes for all skill levels, so it’s a worthy visit for those who are experienced, or those just starting out. 

Avoiding the beaten path

The Czech Republic is a country that has a lot of everything, from culture and cuisine to nature and brewing. Its hotspots and capital are certainly worth visiting and should not be avoided. However, it is also recommended to explore the many activities, villages, and subcultures that the country has to offer.
