The article addresses Elizabethan travellers who visited Bohemia during the 1570s and 1580s. In the majority of cases, the visit to Bohemia, which mostly served as a transit destination, was limited to Prague which, as the capital, had the greatest cultural-political significance in the area. The core of the study is an analysis of surviving travel journals and correspondence from these first study and excursion tours undertaken by young Englishmen, the so called Grand Tours. Among the travellers who visited the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia during their grand tour were: Philip Sidney (1554-86), Robert Sidney (1563-1626), Arthur Throckmorton (ca. 1557- 1626), George Carew (ca. 1556-1612) and Stephen Powle (ca. 1553-1630). Their personal observations, their perception of the situation in the Central Europe during the examined period, as well as the itinerary of the Grand Tour itself constitute the main subject of interest of this study.
