Keen to discover one of the coolest, most underrated countries in Europe? This backpacking Czech Republic travel guide will show you how!
The Czech Republic is a truly amazing and magical country in Central Europe, full of quaint and charming towns and villages, medieval cities and incredible architecture, rugged woods, hilltop castles, and of course beer that is cheaper than water.
Backpacking in the Czech Republic is a chance to experience one of Europe’s most fun destinations whilst somewhat venturing off the Western European backpacking trail.
That said, Prague has become a regular itinerary stop for backpackers in search of a good time. Known for its cheap(ish) accommodation and even cheaper beer, Prague has joined the likes of Budapest and Vienna on the summer backpacking trail.
For that reason, Prague is no longer a hidden destination; the crowds definitely reflect that.
Fear not, however, because, at the Broke Backpacker, we always emphasize how to travel on a budget and get off the beaten track. This travel guide for backpacking Czech Republic will cover Prague in detail, but we definitely don’t stop there.
This is the only Czech Republic travel guide you’ll ever need to get a layout of the entire country…

Why go Backpacking in the Czech Republic
Of course, you can’t go backpacking in the Czech Republic and not go to the capital of Prague. This is where you’ll fly or train into, and then get lost among the gothic alleyways and rich history.
We’re suggesting that you don’t just stop at Prague because the main zones, Charles Bridge, and downtown center can sometimes feel like Disneyland in the summertime, and not in a good way.
Get lost among the red roofs in Prague.
To be honest, Prague is a beautiful city not to be missed, but it’s going to be hard to get a real feel for Czech culture if you don’t branch out of the capital city.
Below we’ve covered 2 itineraries for the Czech Republic that will inspire you to get a bit off the beaten path…
These backpacking routes can easily be combined or customized according to your own time frame and plans!
#1 Czech Republic Itinerary 5 Days: Exploring two Cities
Czech Republic Itinerary #1
While these are two of the most popular cities in the Czech Republic, they are equally as magical. Plus, most tourists only visit Ceský Krumlov as a day trip, which is a total shame.
Start your trip in Prague, Czech’s capital and one of Europe’s most romantic cities… with a fun nightlife of course. Prague is most famous for its remarkably well-preserved Old Town – don’t miss the beautiful clock tower, which you really can’t if you look up – hilltop castle and park, Charles bridge, a thriving, vibrant New Town, and historic Jewish quarter.
Honestly, the best thing to do in Prague is simply get lost and wander around, taking in the Art Nouveau facades and medieval architecture. The next best thing to do is swing by the countless, lively pubs serving up the best pilsners you will ever have in your life. And the best thing: Prague is an affordable city – perfect for travelers on a budget!
Next, we’re heading to Ceský Krumlov, a charming town with a colorful castle and river to canoe on or hike around. Again, the best thing to do here is simply take in the vibes and architecture, and slow down. Read More...
