Czech Republic: Jet to Let Guide to the Czech Republic

The story so far…

The Czech Republic is one of the most stable countries in Eastern Europe. Communist rule came to an end in 1989 and in 1993, the country of Czechoslovakia was split into the independent nation states of the Czech Republic and Slovakia. A recession in the late 1990s slowed the country’s economic growth, but foreign direct investment (FDI) and EU exports have since helped to make it one of the most successful post-Communist states in Eastern Europe.

Where is it?

The Czech Republic has borders with Poland to the north and Germany to the north-west. The country also shares borders with Slovakia to the east and Austria to the south. The Czech Republic is divided into two geographic and cultural regions, Bohemia and Moravia, which have a combined territory of 78,866km squared.

What is the weather like?

Summers are moderately warm with temperatures rising during July and August. The weather in the spring is usually changeable and can swap from sun to snow very quickly and spring and summer are the wettest seasons. Winters are generally cold and wet, sometimes with snowfall and temperatures below freezing point.

Language

The Czech Republic has an estimated population of 10,241,138, mainly consisting of Czechs (90.4 per cent), Moravians, Poles and Slovaks. The official language is Czech, spoken by the majority of the population, but other spoken languages include Polish, Hungarian, German and English.
