Other dates worth booking
The Czech Republic's Cyril and Methodius Day (July 5) and Jan Hus Day (July 6) fall on consecutive days, commemorating the 9th-century missionaries who brought Slavic-language Christianity to the region and the 15th-century religious reformer burned at the stake, respectively - two distinct threads of Czech religious history marked back to back. Statehood Day (September 28) honors Saint Wenceslas, the country's patron saint.
