This year, the Czech Republic was featured in a Super Bowl ad. The slightly controversial ad featured the Jested Hotel, a famous landmark in the Czech Republic. This mountaintop hotel is located in Liberec, in Northern Bohemia. Jested Hotel's dramatic setting plus its futuristic design make it a stunning sight. It was designed in the 1960's by architect K. Hubacek who, as a result, won the famous Perret’s Prize of International Union of Architects. Today, the hotel remains open and its well preserved interior will transport you back in time to the 1960's. It's like stepping into a classic James Bond film's secret hideout and such an experience is why Pathways Through Europe includes it in their Czech Republic itinerary.
Got Soup?
In the Czech Republic, soup is considered not just a healthy dish, but also an essential part of the daily diet. In fact, most people here will tell you that soup deserves its own food group. The soup culture runs deep and even lunch isn't considered complete unless a warm, delicious soup is also served. The upshot of all this soup loving is that they are experts at making really great soup! Garlic soup, potato soup, leek soup, liver dumping soup, vegetable soup. . . these are some of their most popular soups. So, if you're coming to the Czech Republic and you want to eat well, then you'd better get your bowl ready for action.
