The new trend in the travel industry is leaning towards sports tours, which have recently become increasingly popular. Most sports are increasingly played on international platforms, which give amateur players more international exposure and experience.
Taking hockey sports tours into perspective, a big favorite is the tour to Prague. Unbeatable in its quality of the sport, the cuisine, the history, breweries and everything else is an experience every hockey player would love to have.
The city is steeped in rich cultural history, six centuries worth of untouched architecture and beautiful landscapes.
A great place for any hockey fan to visit, Prague is full of hockey destinations. However, a visit opens up so many more possibilities. One of the favorites shared by a large majority of hockey players is beer – and the tour involves a visit to one of Europe’s oldest breweries. Not only is Prague’s drink of choice sampled, but also the local cuisine.
During the hockey tour to Prague, the visiting team will play around four games against Czech teams.
Apart from playing and if beer is not really all that interesting, perhaps the white wine might be of interest. The tour also includes a visit to a factory that makes Bohemian crystal, made popular by the Czech Republic.
The city is a hub for hockey. Once in the Czech Republic, Poland, Germany, Austria and Slovakia are all accessible. The trip to Munich is a top favorite amongst hockey tour participants. Once there, you will play a few friendly hockey games in Nurnberg and Regensburg.
Prague is not only a hotspot for hockey tours but soccer and handball teams are known for touring Prague as well as it is a wonderful, picturesque city that offers that right combination of food, sports and rich culture.
