The Best Offbeat Travel Experiences

  • Jumping into "4-D" at Orlik: After exploring Orlik Castle, south of Prague, and taking a relaxing stroll through the gardens, you can jump into the fourth dimension, in a variation of bungee jumping. It's quite a pick-me-up.

  • Walking Through the Satov Wine Cellar: Some of the finest Moravian wine is produced at the Satov vineyard, and at this wine cellar you'll find more than the local product. The cellar's walls are carved and painted in intricate detail with scenes from Prague Castle and Snow White.

  • Sharing a Moment with the Children of Terezin: On display at the Ceremonial Hall of the Old Jewish Cemetery are sketches drawn by children held at the Terezin concentration camp, northwest of Prague. These drawings present a touching memoir of the Nazi occupation of Bohemia and Moravia.

  • Visiting a Large Communist-Era Housing Estate: Anyone wondering how most latter-day Praguers live should see the mammoth housing blocks called panelaky. The breadth of these estates, which circle the outskirts of the city, is astounding, and piques debate over form vs. function and living vs. surviving.
