THERE - 6 UNESCO Sites in CZ

See pictures of these places in the video version of this episode on our YouTube channel.

The Czech Republic isn't very big, but it's got more castles & chateaux per square kilometer in the world, some very well-preserved towns and scads of history. We also have 14 (and counting) UNESCO World Heritage sites. Today we take a look at the first six to make it on that list.
