When I used to live in Prague, during the winter every weekend I would make the effort to get to the countryside, and usually some festival was happening somewhere, which also gave me the impetus and excuse to visit a new place. The Czech countryside is beautiful, littered liberally with castles nestled into mountain sides, and if you will be staying in Prague for a longer period, I definitely recommend you check out the countryside. If possible by bicycle, because the well marked bicycle trails through the endless forests truly are a pleasure. And if you like beer, as you might notice below, that is the predominant theme of these festivals! Czechs, after all, are the world’s greatest per capita consumers of the golden liquid.
Pivní slavnosti = beer festival (often located in the castle of an ancient village, with beer barrel rolling competitions and other hilarious feats of skill – great fun)
Sběratelská burza = Collector’s fair/exchange
The following links are from previous years, to give you an idea of the fun you will find in the countryside every year. At the bottom you should find links to more up to date information, and I will try to develop this page further when I find the time.
