Czechia's car story runs through a single proud name: Škoda. In Mladá Boleslav, an easy trip from Prague, the Škoda Museum sits inside former production halls on the factory site, displaying around 360 vehicles from the 1899 Slavia bicycle to rally winners and prototypes. The brand is one of only a handful of carmakers worldwide with roots reaching back to 1895, when Laurin & Klement built bicycles, then motorcycles, before the Škoda name and its winged-arrow badge appeared…
