Best of Litomyšl
60 min1.2 km7 zastávok
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.

Hradec Králové
Historic Hradec Králové
44 min2.0 km5 zastávok
Walk through the historic heart of Hradec Králové, a regional capital known for its brick Gothic cathedral, Renaissance bell tower, and one of Bohemia's finest Art Nouveau museums. This circuit visits a modernist stone staircase by Josef Gočár, the twin towers of Velké náměstí, the Museum of Eastern Bohemia designed by architect Jan Kotěra, the roaring Hučák weir on the River Elbe, and the quiet gardens where the Elbe and Orlice rivers meet.

Olomouc
The Fountains of Olomouc
37 min1.5 km5 zastávok
Meet Olomouc's six baroque water gods — and the playful modern outsider who joined them in 2002 — on a walk through the historic centre's two grand squares. Vain Caesar and mighty Hercules hold court outside the Town Hall; feuding Neptune and Jupiter face off on the Lower Square; quick-footed Mercury and the sea-god Triton mind their own corners nearby. Along the way, you'll also pass the UNESCO-listed Holy Trinity Column, the whimsical Astronomical Clock, and the twin-spired Cathedral of St. Wenceslas.
Kutná Hora
Kutná Hora: The Silver Town
75 min1.3 km7 zastávok
Kutná Hora grew rich on silver. From the late thirteenth century its mines fed the Bohemian treasury, and from 1300 the Prague groschen was struck here. This walk follows the silver through the UNESCO-listed old town: the royal mint at the Italian Court, the burgher houses its money built, a Gothic fountain, the Hrádek mining museum, the Jesuit College terrace and the Cathedral of Saint Barbara. Seven stops, about an hour and a quarter on foot. The walk starts at the Italian Court on Havlíčkovo náměstí, a few minutes' walk from Palackého náměstí, the main square.
Brno
Brno Central Cemetery: Legends in Stone
62 min2.3 km9 zastávok
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.
Třebíč
Třebíč's Jewish Quarter
37 min1.2 km4 zastávky
Walk the narrow lanes of Zámostí, Třebíč's UNESCO-listed former Jewish quarter — one of Europe's best-preserved Jewish urban ensembles, and the only Jewish monument outside Israel on the World Heritage list. 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 zastávok
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.
