South Bohemian region
The South Bohemian region has been settled since the Middle Paleolithic period. Around Budweis you can find important reminders of its very rich history, ranging from monuments of the Hallstatt period to modern architecture monuments. South Bohemia is especially known for "the Rustic Baroque", a rustic architectural style from the first half of the 19th century. We would like to recommend to you some places to visit.
