Episode Summary

Any Given Latitude explores the Czech Republic. The journey starts in the city the Czechs refer to as “Mother Prague.” The grandeur of the Prague Castle overlooking the old town sets the tone for a wonderful day of getting to know the sights, sounds and tastes of the city.


Next we venture to the outer reaches of Moravia for a greenway bike tour. As we travel, the rural Czech landscape is dotted with vineyards and castle towns. Some hold delicious local pastries, other are home to moody but beautiful Jewish cemeteries.


The goal, though, is the delicious “new wine” of the Moravian region. Before the day is out we reach a vinter who shares with us the season’s new wine. It's so wild and fresh it can’t be bottled. Our greenway tour ends with a visit to the remnants of the Iron Curtain, where our guide, Barbora, explains what life was like behind the fence.


We finish our time in the Czech Republic by heading back to Prague. Architect Eva Jiricna explains how the city’s architecture reflects the history and spirit of the people at different times. We then stroll the cobbled streets at night for a tour of Prague’s burgeoning music scene.
