Regions

The Czech Republic has a lot to offer also off the beaten path, aside of big cities or UNESCO heritage sites: we are proud of the charming, picturesque, and variable country landscape as well as of the institutions that are located in smaller towns all around the Czech Republic. Find out more about these hidden gems and meet ICOM members who spread and carry on the idea of museums being centers of culture and education in regional towns and cities.

Regional tours leave either from Prague Congress Centre parking lot by buses or by trains from the Brno’s Main Railway Station as a follow-up excursion for participants of the historic train ride.
