October 28 marks one of the most important national holidays in the Czech Republic – Independent Czechoslovak State Day.
On this day in 1918, Czechoslovakia declared its independence from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, giving birth to a new democratic state in Central Europe.
Today, Czechs celebrate this day with national ceremonies, flag displays, and cultural events held across the country. It’s a moment of pride, unity, and remembrance — a celebration of freedom and national identity that continues to inspire generations.
