Historical cities

The Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia have always been part of a civilization that shares cultural and intellectual values as well as common religious traditions which they wish to preserve and strengthen. The cities are the most typical example of this cultural and intellectual cohesion: although different in many aspects, they vividly depict the most common features of the Central European region. The buildings embody all the known architectural styles and shapes and it can be said without exaggeration that each historic city in the region is a rare gem and a priceless treasure.

UNESCO heritage

Numerous sights registered in the UNESCO World Cultural heritage list, including those of breath-taking beauty and levied with the burden of ages past, can be found throughout the countries of the Visegrad group. Among sites listed are villages, castles, towns, natural resorts and many others. The region has undergone a long historic development with many important events taking place therein.

Spas

The Visegrad group countries can boast of a large variety of spas. Thermal waters and muds have a long tradition in the region, many of them known for centuries as centers of spa treatment and praised all over Europe and the rest of the world. Famous people from history such as Goethe, Strauss and Peter the Great spent time in the Central European spas and left traces behind them. Thousands of tourists visit the region's spas every year, making it one of the most important tourist attractions in the Visegrad group.

Jewish culture

The countries in the Visegrad group have always been a haven for settlers, including those of Jewish decent. The history of Jewish settlement in the region goes back to the Middle Ages or even earlier. Jewish culture, being rich and deep at the time and embodying many religious and cultural traditions, has undoubtedly influenced the development of countries in the Visegrad group.

Although for the most part wiped out by the Holocaust, many Jewish sites have been preserved in the Visegrad group countries, which, apart from other tourist spots, make them a very attractive target for foreign visitors.

Across Central Europe

MICE

Apart from sight-seeing, there are many opportunities to hold meetings and congresses in any of the Visegrad group members.

All of this, together with its unique beauty and architecture, make the MICE facilities of the region one a major attraction.
