Nowe Miasto nad Metują

Nové Město nad Metují Essentials

Known as the 'Czech Bethlehem,' Nové Město nad Metují is defined by its dramatic location on a rocky promontory carved by the Metuje River. The historic center features a preserved Renaissance square with uniform arcaded houses and a grand castle showcasing unique early 20th-century Art Deco and functionalist interiors by Dušan Jurkovič. The surrounding landscape offers accessible 14th-century ruins and viewpoints overlooking the deep river valley and the Orlické Mountains.
