Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic
This pretty town in the Southern Bohemia region of the Czech Republic is a Unesco World Heritage Site, with 300 protected buildings in the Centrum alone. When the Communists were in charge here, they disapproved of the 800-year-old town's bright colours and painted everything grey, but the buildings have been restored to their former colourful glory now the regime has ended.
