Location

South Bohemia is a unique region rich in architecture and culture. Visitors will be impressed with countless number of historical monuments which document the eventful history of this region: age-old towns full of life and culture, grand Gothic churches, stunning Renaissance castles, medieval monasteries, unique folk architecture and beautiful pond systems.

The region has remained untouched by major modern industry, preserved until now in a condition very similar to the created by previous generations. The number of natural reservations established in the region can confirm the quality of landscape.

South Bohemia has the lowest population density of all regions in the Czech Republic, though it has several significant urban centers. The heart of the area lies in the basin where the Vltava and Malse rivers meet in the region’s capital, Ceske Budejovice (population 100,000). This area is surrounded mainly by mountains, hills and forests. The area’s natural and cultural heritage makes it a very attractive tourist destination.
