Tip: Stay overnight; the day trip from Prague is tight and the castle closes early.
Konopiste Castle south of Prague was Archduke Franz Ferdinand's hunting lodge. The castle restaurant cooks game in the old hunting tradition: venison goulash.
Tip: Tour the castle then lunch at the restaurant; book the longer game menu in autumn.
Plzen, 90 km west of Prague, is the birthplace of pale lager. The Pilsner Urquell brewery tour ends in the cellar where unpasteurized lager pours straight.
Tip: Book the tour in advance; lunch at Na Spilce inside the brewery is the right combo.
Kutna Hora was a medieval Czech silver-mining city. The Bone Church and St Barbara's Cathedral anchor the day; the Kutnohorske vinarstvi serves local.
Tip: Combine St Barbara at lunch with the Bone Church late afternoon and Kutnohorske vinarstvi.
Karlovy Vary, the western Bohemian spa town, is the home of Becherovka, the herbal Czech aperitif. Booking recommended. Reservations advised.
Tip: Pair the Becherovka tour with a stack of oplatky spa wafers; train back is slower than bus.
