Cheb Essentials

Cheb features a rare imperial castle with a unique double-storey Romanesque-Gothic chapel and the volcanic landscape of Komorní hůrka, Europe's northernmost extinct volcano. The city's architectural heritage includes the massive twin-towered Basilica of St. Nicholas and the Baroque Church of St. Clare, designed by Christoph Dientzenhofer. Visitors can also explore several historic lookout towers, such as the stone Bismarck Tower on Zelená hora and the mock-medieval Salingburg ruins.
