Travel in Czech Republic

I start in the morning with Noble Panacea’s Cleansing Balm and Exfoliating Refiner, Preparation Essence and Brilliant Glow Hydration Oil. That makes me really glowy and dewy. Then I use the Active Replenishing Moisturizer. I throw my hair up in a ponytail most days. The only [hair products] I love are the Ouai Fine Hair Shampoo and the Oribe Intense Conditioner for Moisture and Control that I’ll leave in my hair. I have about seven strands, and I’m holding on to them for dear life.

When I traveled around Europe, visiting places like France, Great Britain, and the Czech Republic, several things instantly stood out about how different living in Europe was from living in the US.

To create the dreadful world of Nosferatu, production designer Craig Lathrop designed and built some 60 sets in Prague, many of them based on real places in Germany and Transylvania. Lathrop, a longtime collaborator of writer and director Robert Eggers, spent nine months in Prague between preparing and filming. During this time, he took a few trips around the Baltic Coast and to Romania, to scout haunted castles (not to be confused with Germany's beautiful castles) for the home of vampire Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård). After Lathrop and Eggers saw numerous sites, they settled on Romania's Corvin Castle for the exterior and Pernštejn Castle in the Czech Republic for the courtyard. Everything else was constructed.

From Athens to New York City, wildfires around the world have brought orange skies and smog to major urban hubs this year. But the cities with the cleanest air have managed to decrease air pollution by regulating emissions, investing in public transportation, and transitioning to clean energy—making them more enjoyable, and sustainable, destinations for travelers.

Dorey Poder and Damir Konjicija didn’t have a vision for their wedding, because they didn’t think they’d be lucky enough to have one: Damir fled war in Bosnia as a child and grew up in a refugee camp in the Czech Republic, and then the southern United States (Kentucky), while Dorey was raised in a very conservative town in California. “We didn’t know if we would ever get married in our lifetime, so when the time actually came, we looked at each other like, do we want to have a wedding? Or is this just an ‘us’ thing?” says Dorey of the brief consideration to get hitched at city hall.

A last-minute trip to Europe is as romantic as it sounds. Not only is the spontaneity thrilling, but European countries lend themselves very well to travelers who appreciate local customs and enjoy exploring new places without a rigid itinerary. Often, impulsively turning down a cobblestoned street will lead you to an exceptional hole-in-the-wall wine bar, a short-notice boutique hotel booking will be the best place you’ve ever stayed, or a chance encounter with a local will lead to a life-long friendship. But come 2025, you will need to do a little planning before you cross the pond. Next year, the European Travel Information and Authorization System (ETIAS) will come into effect. This rule will require visitors from visa-exempt countries to obtain a travel authorization before entering 30 European countries and this includes US travelers.
