This selection features the 14th-century Střekov Castle ruins, a landmark perched on a 100-meter cliff, and the Větruše hilltop complex accessible by cable car. Natural highlights include the 12-meter Vaňovský waterfall and the Vrkoč basalt rock formation. The city’s cultural heritage is represented by the Neo-Baroque North Bohemian Opera and Ballet Theatre and the Empire-style Chateau Velké Březno.
