Of the smaller cities, Cesky Krumlov in the south and its Old Town encircled by a river, is a popular destination. There’s another similar town nearby, Ceske Budejovice, but it attracts way less tourists.

The best time of the year to visit Czechia is from spring to autumn. Summers are warm and it rains quite a lot; the showers are short and heavy. The actual number of rainy days is not any bigger than during any other season.
Prague is a popular destination in winter as well. As for the weather, both frost or several plus degrees are possible.
The price level in the Czech Republic is somewhat cheaper than the European average. Although, in the most popular areas of Prague, you should carefully look at the prices of restaurants and shops, because there the price level might jump.
Generally speaking, Czech Republic is a safe country for traveling. In big cities, however, tourists are at risk of scams and thefts that can be avoided by paying extra attention to your belongings.
It is recommendable only to use well-known Taxi companies. Unlicensed taxis carry a risk of overcharging.
