Arrived with low expectations, left completely converted

Czech Republic wasn't high on my travel list. A friend pushed me to go and I'm genuinely grateful. The first full day in Olomouc reset everything — the scale of Bone Church at Sedlec and the quality of the trdelník were immediate signals that I'd misjudged the place completely.

incredible Gothic architecture became my personal highlight of the whole trip. Spent 19 days and could easily have stayed twice as long. Now I tell everyone who'll listen that Czech Republic is underrated — add it to your list.
