Starting at the Basilica of St. Procopius, the walk crosses into the quarter's self-governing streets, visits the Rear Synagogue and Seligmann-Bauer's preserved household, and climbs to the hillside Jewish cemetery, the community's own resting place, to close.

Telč
Telč: Zachariáš's Renaissance Dream
45 min1.0 km5 stops
Discover how a fire and one ambitious nobleman shaped Telč, the small UNESCO-listed town in the Vysočina highlands. This short walk follows Zachariáš of Hradec's sixteenth-century rebuilding: through the Upper Gate, along the arcaded market square with its gabled houses, out through the Lower Gate to the fishponds that protected and funded the town, past the Gothic church of St James, and into the Italian-style chateau. It starts at the Upper Gate on Palackého Street, about ten minutes on foot from Telč's bus and train stations.
Znojmo
Best of Znojmo
55 min1.0 km5 stops
Walk through the compact old town of Znojmo, a medieval royal town on a rocky spur above the Dyje River gorge. The tour starts at Vlkova Tower, a medieval tower on the town walls at the lower corner of Masaryk Square, and climbs the square to the Gothic Town Hall Tower, above the tunnels of the Znojmo Underground. It continues to St Nicholas' Church and the Karolina Gate viewpoint, passes the old Minorite monastery, and ends at the castle and the Romanesque Rotunda of St Catherine. Five stops, about one kilometre, roughly an hour.
Brno
Brno Central Cemetery: Legends in Stone
62 min2.3 km9 stops
Walk through Ústřední hřbitov, Brno's vast Central Cemetery, to meet the people who built the city's identity: Gregor Mendel, composer Leoš Janáček, architect Bohuslav Fuchs, Brno's first Czech mayor, the founder of its public library, a Moravian Karst explorer, one of Czechoslovakia's great postwar poets, the founder of Czech Slavic studies, and the man who opened Brno's first Czech bookshop, alongside memorials to civic and wartime sacrifice and Ernst Wiesner's Functionalist crematorium.
Mikulov
Mikulov: Castle, Cellars and the Moravian Jerusalem
62 min2.8 km7 stops
Mikulov sits on the last limestone hills before the Austrian border, and for four centuries it was two towns at once: the seat of the Dietrichstein princes, who ruled Moravia from the castle on the rock, and Nikolsburg, home to the chief rabbis of Moravia and one of the most important Jewish communities in Central Europe. This walk climbs to the castle and its legendary wine barrel, crosses the arcaded main square to the Dietrichstein burial vault, turns into the old Jewish town for the Upper Synagogue and the terraced cemetery above it, takes in the view from Goat Hill, and ends among the limestone crags of the Turold quarry-park. Seven stops, about an hour on foot.
Litomyšl
Best of Litomyšl
60 min1.2 km7 stops
A compact walk through Litomyšl, the East Bohemian town where the composer Bedřich Smetana was born. You start at his monument at the lower end of the long arcaded Smetana Square and walk up through it. Then you climb gently to the castle hill: the Gothic church of the town's first monastery, the terraced Monastery Gardens, the Baroque Piarist church, the brewery flat where Smetana was born, and finally the UNESCO-listed Renaissance château with its sgraffito walls. The start is about ten minutes on foot from the railway station.
Tabor
Best of Tábor
60 min1.6 km5 stops
A walk through the hilltop town that the Hussites founded in 1420 and named after the biblical Mount Tabor. It starts at the dam of Jordán, one of the oldest dam reservoirs in Central Europe, right by the Nový ráj bus stop. It climbs past the old water tower to Žižka Square, with its Gothic town hall and the passages cut into the rock beneath it, then winds through lanes laid out to confuse invaders to a monastery garden above the Lužnice valley, and ends at Kotnov Castle and the Bechyně Gate.
