Experience the Czech Republic Onscreen

All India, for immediate release: The fairy-tale atmosphere, protected castles & chateaux and natural resources around the Czech Republic have pulled-in television and movie industry to the country for quite a long time, which implies many gushing alternatives to #VisitCzechRepublic while staying at home and make these days more fun. Read through for thoughts to follow Czech’s visual excellence or find out a little more about unexplored Czech life.

For children of all ages, Krtek ("The Little Mole" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6u8MZti8FU) is a comically animated character, and could be compared to Mickey Mouse. You may equally enjoy the delightfully clumsy couple of ‘Pat and Mat’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHCMnr1bU2Q) for eight-minute, stop-motion recordings. Watch the pair towards celebrating Czech customs like New Year's Eve, designing a gingerbread house, or making the customary Christmas supper. While watching these cartoons, you will only become acquainted with exemplary symbols of Czech kids' programs, but also get a brief look into the Czech way of life. The best part is, these shows are upheld by music and not dialogues, so there is no language hindrance, and your children will enjoy the welcome change from what they have been watching.

The Czech Republic has filled in as a magnificent setting for spine chillers, historic dramas, and magical mysteries. Amazon’s fantasy-and-fairies series ‘Carnival Row’; historic fiction dramas like ‘Knightfall’ and ‘The Letter for the King’ available on Netflix; and the season 2 of ‘Outlander’ in which the Czech Republic subs for the roads of Paris, are a few to name.

If not prepared to commit to a whole series, take a two-hour virtual visit through the Czech Republic with some of the recent Hollywood hits like – ‘Marvel’s Spiderman: Far from Home’ which features scenes from Prague & Liberec, the Oscar-nominated ‘JoJo Rabbit’ filmed in small towns around Prague, or ‘The Illusionist’ in which Prague stands in for Vienna. Should a historical thriller interest you, go for ‘Anthropoid’ which is an inspired-by-a-true-story version of Czech WWII resistance. For the lovers of the spa town, Karlovy Vary, both ‘Casino Royale’ and the adorable 2006 rom-com ‘The Last Holiday’ starred the famous Grand Hotel Pupp.

For fast-paced action, you won’t mind watching again the ‘Mission Impossible’ released in 1996, in which a few parts of the film were filmed in Prague. You may also experience the elegance of performing arts in ‘Amadeus’ (a fantastical Mozart story).

Last but not the least, why to miss our prominent Bollywood films like ‘Harry Met Sajal’, ‘Rockstar’ and ‘Duplicate’, which have many scenes right from the capital of the country.

The current situation is extremely unfortunate, but we require all the travellers to stay safe right now and visit us later. While you are physically away, experience the the Czech Republic from the comfort of your home and enjoy some binge-worthy dramas and movies.
