What we know as the Czech Republic has only been under that name for a couple of decades. Before, this prosperous country of castles, medieval towers and fairytale appearance, was part of Czechoslovakia and, even longer ago, of Moravia and Bohemia. It is nothing less than the heart of Ancient Europe.  A heart that beats at the Barceló Hotels & Resorts in the Czech Republic to convey to its guests the essence of an enchanted country.

Walking through the center of Prague, a World Heritage Site, will be the first incursion for the guests of Barceló Hotels & Resorts in the Czech Republic on this journey into the past. It's not just the appearance of places like the Charles Bridge (with its 30 statues), St. Vitus Cathedral, Prague Castle or the astronomical clock: the whole city has a historical atmosphere.

But the capital of the Czech Republic also has an innovative profile visible in its modern restaurants –where Czech beer abounds-; avant-garde buildings such as Frank Gehry's Dancing House, and its dynamic cultural life, in which Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Prague participate with proposals that combine exploring the city with experiential luxury.

Brno is the second largest city in the country and a highly recommended destination for travelers eager for unique and little-explored experiences , such as those offered by Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Brno. It also has its own castle -Spilberk's-, an old Town Hall, the Cathedral of Saint Paul and Saint Peter—which chimes at 11 a.m. and not at 12 o'clock—and a circuit from the Motorcycling World Championship.

The industrial past of the city has been converted and proof of this is one of the great prides of Brno: the avant-garde villa Tugendhat, built by Mien Van del Rohe and considered a World Heritage Site.
