The Fountains of Olomouc
37 dk1.5 km5 durak
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.

Kroměříž
Kroměříž: The Archbishops' Garden City
95 dk3.1 km10 durak
Kroměříž is a small Moravian town with an outsized inheritance: for centuries it was the summer seat of the Bishops and Archbishops of Olomouc, who turned it into a garden city of palaces, churches, and parks now protected as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This walk crosses town from the Baroque Flower Garden — its colonnade, Rotunda, and maze — through the arcaded main square and two churches, to the Archbishop's Château, finishing with a stroll into the landscape park behind it. Ten stops across about three kilometres, tracing how one dynasty of churchmen shaped an entire town.
Brno
Brno Central Cemetery: Legends in Stone
62 dk2.3 km9 durak
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.
Litomyšl
Best of Litomyšl
60 dk1.2 km7 durak
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.
Nikolsburg
Mikulov: Castle, Cellars and the Moravian Jerusalem
62 dk2.8 km7 durak
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.
Třebíč
Třebíč's Jewish Quarter
37 dk1.2 km4 durak
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.
Znaym
Best of Znojmo
55 dk1.0 km5 durak
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.
