Olomouc, located right in the heart of Moravia, is a city of about 100,000 inhabitants. Counting numerous squares, parks and churches, the city is a special place of its own, offering the full experience of Czech architecture, nature, food and culture.

The city is famed for its Holy Trinity Column, a UNESCO World Heritage site from the 18th century in the center of the old town. Its astronomical clock is a unique attraction, built in the 15th century, but reconstructed in 1955 after the war, as a syncretic reflection of its era. Moreover, the city is surrounded by beautiful parks, and Saint Wenceslas Cathedral’s façade defines Olomouc’s skyline.

Of course, you can’t talk about the Czech Republic without mentioning its cuisine. Besides the famous beer produced here, Moravia is also the wine region of the country, with a great selection of drinks to accompany the great local cheeses and typical food.

Near the city is the Bouzov Castle, a beautiful 14th century fortress that towers over Moravia and is a perfect place to visit and see the wonderful Czech countryside.
