2026 Cheb Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in January)

#hellochristmas 🎄 Cheb, Czech Republic at Christmas is pure magic! The historic spa town glows with twinkling lights on the colorful Renaissance houses of náměstí Krále Jiřího z Poděbrad. A giant Christmas tree sparkles in the square, surrounded by wooden stalls selling sizzling klobása, trdelník fresh from the coals, and steaming svařák (mulled wine). Locals bundle up for the festive market, kids chase snowflakes near the oh-so-romantic Cheb Castle ruins, and carols drift over the Ohře River. Cozy, fairytale vibes only 10 minutes from the German border—perfect little Christmas gem! ✨🍷❄️

#holidayitinerary Cheb is a charming little town nestled right along the Czech-German border, often overlooked by mainstream tourists. Easily reachable with a Deutschland Ticket, it makes for a perfect quiet getaway from busier cities. The town features colorful half-timbered houses, a quaint market square, and the iconic Cheb Castle with its Romanesque Black Tower. It’s a place where German and Czech influences intertwine, both in architecture and atmosphere. Ideal for a half-day stroll, especially if you’re traveling between the two countries and looking for an authentic, peaceful stop.

It's a Czech restaurant right next to the German border. The name of the restaurant is Deja Vu! It was hard to communicate in English, so I looked at the menu and used Google Translate to order. The food was similar to German food, and most of it was delicious. #OverseasFlightEvent #OverseasTravel

It's a small town in the Czech Republic called Haap. You can also take a train from Germany. It felt a bit more rural than urban, and it felt like a park in the countryside. It also felt a bit like the old Soviet Union. It was quiet, so it was nice to rest in the park. #OverseasFlightEvent #OverseasTravel

I found a restaurant in Czech Republic, Cheb, and there was a restaurant that sold both Korean and Japanese food! I wanted to eat Korean food, so I ran over there. They were selling kimchi fried rice and chicken! The food was good, but the owner didn't seem to be Korean. #OverseasFlightEvent #OverseasTravel
