FAQ
Frequently asked questions about the Czech Republic
Do I need to visit Prague to see the country?
Prague remains the main gateway, but Brno (wine-growing Moravia) and Ostrava (industrial heritage and the Beskydy) show very different sides of the country.
What's the best airport to arrive in the Czech Republic?
Prague (PRG) is the country's largest airport. SniperAir also covers Brno (BRQ) and Ostrava (OSR), in Moravia and Czech Silesia.
What's the best time to visit the Czech Republic?
Spring and autumn suit cultural sightseeing well; summer is best for South Bohemia's ponds and spa-town terraces.
Is the Czech Republic more than just Prague?
Yes — Český Krumlov, Kutná Hora, Karlovy Vary, Olomouc and wine-growing Moravia around Brno offer a wide range of heritage and landscapes.
