Czechia
Prague's fairy-tale old town, genuinely excellent and cheap beer, and a compact country easy to see beyond the capital
Prague dominates most first trips — and reasonably so, the Old Town and Prague Castle are as good as their reputation — but Czechia rewards going further: Český Krumlov's near-untouched medieval town, Karlovy Vary's spa architecture, and a rail network that makes day trips genuinely easy.
