Compare countries and cities by VanSky score and pick your next stop Compare regions by VanSky score and pick your destination
A comparison of 23 cities in Czech Republic by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop. A comparison of 14 regions of Czech Republic by VanSky score — where it's most comfortable to travel right now. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea.
The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.
The scale above shows what share of the country's cities falls into each comfort band. “Best spot” is the most comfortable region or city this week; “typical conditions” is the median score across regions.

Czech traveller Jan Rychtařík from the NARUBY.life project listed seven arguments for travelling by motorhome instead of staying in a hotel. Among them are freedom from schedules, the ability to cook with local ingredients, and cost savings: a week-long rental of a motorhome for a family of four in Spain costs about 30,000 CZK, while a comparable hotel stay ranges from 35,000 to 50,000 CZK including meals.
Skoda Auto has released the MySkoda 8.14 update with Camp Mode, which maintains the cabin temperature overnight via the app. The feature requires no extra accessories or service visit; the traction battery must be at least 30% charged and Skoda Connect services active.

The left side will get three rows for trucks and three rows for cars, including electric vehicles, plus spaces for caravans and buses. Construction is expected to start no earlier than 2027, with completion no earlier than 2029.
Skoda has introduced a camping mode for all its electric models (Enyaq, Elroq, Epiq, Peaq) via the MySkoda app update 8.14. The function maintains cabin temperature while parked, requires active Skoda Connect services and a battery charge of at least 30% (20% for Peaq according to some sources).
