Did You Know?
The birth rate in the Czech Republic is approximately 1.2 children per woman, which makes their fertility rate one of the lowest in the world. A birth rate of 2.1 children per woman is needed to sustain a population.
"Two of the greatest gifts we can give our children are roots and wings."

Traveling With Kids?
| Dominik is not quite old enough to join a Rick Steves Tour yet! But if you are traveling with kids age 8 or over, be sure to take advantage of the Family Europe Resources on the Europe Through the Back Door website. There are tours designed specifically for families with kids. |
Thanks Katka!
Katka is an excellent tour guide. Knowledgable, personable and passionate about her country. Check out the website for her tour company, Praguewalker.
Dominik !!!
Our energetic tour guide, Katka, gave birth to little Dominik on Sunday, December 16, 2007 at 6.40 p.m. Dominik's measurements: 4000g in weight and 52 cm in length. "Quite a good size!" says Katka. Dominik is a European baby, so it is only appropriate to report his vital statistics in grams and centimeters.
Mom & Dad are reportedly VERY happy!
