The Most Unusual Things To Do In The Czech Republic

Let’s face it: there’s only so much beer you can drink and so many historical sights you can see before you’re ready for something else. When you’re in Czechia, however, that’s not an issue at all, as the country has plenty of very unusual things to offer.

Explore a museum dedicated to toilets

The recently renamed Museum of Hygiene might not have been in your original must-see list when visiting Prague, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t worth a visit. The collection includes a number of receptacles used throughout history to dispose of human waste – from chamber pots to wooden portable toilets to tiny ceramic options for those who wanted to keep their business very private. And if you ever wondered how Lincoln, Napoleon, and even the people on the Titanic went to the bathroom, this is your chance to see original examples used by them.

Visit the Sex Machines Museum

The only museum of its kind in the world, Prague’s Sex Machines Museum offers visitors a chance to explore the history of sex devices – which include everything from mechanical erotic appliances to masks to scary chastity belts from the 1500s. Specially designed chairs and stools – some of them complete with dummies so you can see how they would have worked – are also on exhibit. The museum also contains a number of unique items, such as shoes worn by ancient Greek prostitutes and 1920s pornographic films. Come prepared to be embarrassed and/or shocked.
