Caravan Camp Valek

You couldn’t possibly come here and not venture into Prague at least once… The folk on site tip the castle and the walk up Petrin Hill as their top picks, but there’s also much to be said for trips to the famed Prague Zoo, taking a boat trip on the Vltava and simply strolling around the Old Town (don’t forget to rub one of the bronze statues on Charles Bridge for a dose of good luck…). Keep it country instead by touring the Křivoklátsko nature reserve, around 15 kilometres to the west of the site. Roam at your own pace along the forest’s hiking trails and bike paths, or set out in search of Koněprusy caves (20 minutes' drive), Karlstejn Castle (also 20 minutes) and Křivoklát Castle (35 minutes). You can always head out for a stroll closer to home, too – site staff can point you towards riverside paths, and those that lead to the Lhotka lookout tower or the old ironworks in Chrustenice, both less than an hour’s walk away.
