Outside Prague brings together a selection of cultural attractions located beyond the city, yet easily accessible for visitors who want to explore more than the historic centre.
This zone includes elegant chateaux such as Nelahozeves and Ctěnice, offering insights into noble residences, art, and everyday life of past centuries. Cultural heritage is further represented by the Central Bohemian Museum in Roztoky, which presents regional history and traditional lifestyles, and by the Aviation Museum in Kbely, one of Europe’s largest collections dedicated to the history of aviation.
These attractions are ideal for visitors looking to enrich their stay with calmer, less crowded destinations that reveal another layer of Czech history and culture — all within easy reach of Prague and perfectly suited for half-day or full-day independent visits.
