Úvod

Předmluva

Od pradávna lidé fascinovaně vzhlíželi k myšlence Sedmi divů světa. Today, although most of the ancient wonders have been claimed by time, the tradition of celebrating humanity's greatest creations continues.

The purpose of this website, KAUFMANN WORLD FACTBOOK – A Guide to Global Travel, is to gather essential and useful information about every country in the world in one place. For each country, you will find:

  • Základní fakta (area, population, capital city, currency, language)
  • Praktické informace (visa policy, safety, best time to visit)
  • Kulturní kontext (religion, customs, etiquette, holidays)
  • Zajímavosti a cestovatelské tipy
  • Doporučené itineráře

The world is a book — and those who do not travel read only one page. Let us turn the page together.

Šťastnou cestu!
— Radim Kaufmann, 2026

O mně

Jmenuji se Radim Kaufmann, jsem vášnivý cestovatel with over forty years of experience exploring the world. I've been fortunate enough to visit more than 46 countries across all continents.

My personal favorites? Thailand for perfect sensory overload. Cuba before it changes too much. Israel for history older than Europe. New Zealand for those moments when Earth decides to show off.

I studied Art History and as the founder of the Kaufmann World Travel Factbook, I combine my love for travel with technology — this site covers 272 destinations including practical information, cultural context, and travel tips for every country on Earth.

When not traveling, I work on AI projects and live between Prague and Miami.

Safe travels!
Děkuji za návštěvu.

S pozdravem,
Radim Kaufmann
