Flight from Nice to the Czech Republic: a jewel in the heart of Europe
The flight from Nice to the Czech Republic is an opportunity to visit one of the most beautiful countries in Europe. Most people only know its capital city: Prague. In the Middle Ages, it was one of the most influential cities on the continent. It is still known by its nickname, the ‘mother of all cities’, and has preserved its magnificent architectural heritage: Charles Bridge, Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, the Astronomical Clock... Over the centuries, the city has continued to maintain and enrich this ‘cultural capital’, such that today it has found its way into the hearts of tourists as a major destination, appreciated for its beauty as much as for its romanticism.

But Prague is just the tip of the iceberg. A flight from Nice to the Czech Republic offers you the chance to discover many other equally charming holiday destinations. Choose your direction: West, towards Bohemia, or east, towards Moravia. The first of these two large regions is teeming with sites. You can go back in time, for example, with a stroll along the ramparts of Karlštejn Castle or through the medieval streets of Kutná Hora and Český Krumlov, two gems listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Or relax in the Belle Époque spa towns of Mariánské Lázně and Karlovy Vary, which the French still call Marienbad and Carlsbad. Or you can reconnect with nature, notably with the Czech Switzerland National Park and Bohemian Paradise, a Geopark renowned for its sublime cities of rock.
And Moravia? Although less well known than Bohemia, this region is also worth a visit, if only to stroll around Brno, its capital. With its Špilberk Castle and St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, this city with its history dating back many centuries, attracts ever more visitors every year. Need some fresh air? Leave Brno and head to South Moravia, the heartland of Czech wine growing. Here, cars are superfluous as the wine route can be explored by bicycle thanks to a fantastic network of cycle paths spanning 1,200 kilometres and connecting the region's most beautiful vineyards and estates. Now you're tempted, aren't you?
