Country Details
Formerly part of Czechoslovakia and landlocked in the middle of Europe, the Czech Republic is about the size of the U.S. State of New York.
It gained total independence in 1993 (splitting from Slovakia), with each forming a separate country.
Tourism is a major industry here, especially in the beautiful city of Prague, with its art nouveau architecture, castle, historic bridges, cobblestone streets, and much, much more.
The Czech Republic maps and information pages are currently being revised, and will be posted soon.
