Besides the obvious tourist attractions, there are also many hidden gems in the Czech Republic that you can discover during your holiday in the Czech Republic. One of these recommendations is the small town Cesky Krumlov, which is often referred to as “Little Prague”.

What do they eat in this region?" As a freelance travel journalist (her articles have appeared in DIE ZEIT, 360° Canada, 360° USA, etc.), she is now looking for answers to these questions as a travel writer and travel blogger in many countries around the world.
