Get to know all eight unique traditions, which have come so far as to be listed by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage.

From Traditions and Customs All the Way to UNESCO

From Traditions and Customs All the Way to UNESCO

Traditions, customs, and crafts - every nation has one and every nation is proud of the art that gets passed down from generation to generation. Therefore, not only tangible monuments deserve protection, but also treasures of history based on ancient folk traditions. Festivities, craftsmanship and folk art allow us to understand other people and even learn something new. Do you know what traditions are unique for the Czech Republic?
