The Czech Republic is located in central Europe. It is known particularly for its architecture, which ranges from Medieval to Baroque, and many other classical styles. Prague, its capital, is like a living, breathing museum, as walking down the streets is like taking a stroll through architectural history. All of central Prague has been designated as a protected World Heritage Site. Outside of the cities, there is pristine forest as well. The Czech Republic has one of the highest percentages of forest cover in Europe - 82%. The rest of the country is mostly composed of farmland and towns.
