Don’t have a car? Never mind. Even without it, you can discover the beauty of the Czech Republic. Comfortable, sustainably and often more adventurous. We bring you instructions on how to travel cleverly and gently.
At a time when there is more and more talking about the climate crisis, sustainability and reducing the ecological footprint, the question arises: Do we really need a car for every trip? The answer is: Certainly not. It offers perfectly available places where you can reach by train, bus, bike or even on foot. Moreover, such travel often brings more experiences, less stress and mainly contributes to environmental protection and support of the local economy.
Traveling without a car? Actually simpler than it seems
The network of train connections in the Czech Republic is dense, reliable and in many ways more comfortable than driving. Especially if you are going to the mountains or for a cycling trip, you can also use seasonal cyclaps or trains with bicycle space. While in the car you focus on driving, you can read, relax or plan the next steps of your journey on the train. And that traveling by train is not just for the fans of the tracks is evidenced by more and more families, couples and seniors who simply forgot about the trip by car.
Hiking is perhaps the most natural and deepest way to enjoy traveling. Slower pace allows you to perceive the surroundings more intensively, hear the rustle of leaves, perceive the smell of the forest, or talk to the locals. The Czech landscape is perfect for hikes: marked routes, tourist shelters and cozy pubs on the way make every trip a small adventure ritual.
Just learn a few simple habits and traveling without a car will become a nature for you. Use the application of local carriers and tourist organizations that will find connections, plan the route and recommend places to stop. What about it? Comfortable shoes, light clothes, water bottle, a few small things for tooth and good mood. The advantage is that you often support small entrepreneurs in a sustainable way of traveling, whether you have lunch in a local pub or buy a souvenir directly from the locals.
Traveling that makes sense
Sustainable tourism is not just a marketing concept. It means choosing paths that do not burden nature, respect local culture and benefit where it is needed. When you drive without a car, reduce emissions, do not cause noise in protected areas and help slow down overloading popular destinations.

Traveling without a car has its personal advantages: you do not solve parking, avoid columns and save considerable money for fuel. In addition, you will support places that live from tourism. But from one who does not destroy but enriches. You can be part of a positive change: not only in what our landscape looks like, but also in how it lives in it.
Whether you are attracted by Šumava, Bohemian Paradise, Jeseníky or Picturesque Highlands, you will find places available everywhere by public transport and ideal for pedestrians or cycling trips. From rocky towns to lookout towers, ruins and non -traditional museums, even without a car you will discover the Czech Republic from a brand new perspective. And you often find that the journey is really a destination.
Not having a car does not mean restrictions, but rather an invitation to another. Slower, more conscious and gentle. Just open up with new options and maybe you will find that the biggest luxury is a quiet head, a light backpack and the wind in your hair.
