THINGS TO DO

The things worth doing in Olomouc, from the obvious landmarks to the ones locals actually rate.

Town hall tower climb

Guided climb up the 75m Gothic tower for the best view over both squares and the cathedral spires beyond.

St Wenceslas Cathedral

Second-tallest church in the country, neo-Gothic spires and a vast organ. Its bells ring at 11am, not noon.

The six baroque fountains

Hercules, Caesar, Neptune, Jupiter, Triton and Mercury, plus a modern seventh. A free self-guided hour on foot.

St Moritz church

Late Gothic church with one of Europe's largest organs and a double-spiral staircase you can climb to the tower.

Bezrucovy sady ramparts

English-style park wrapped around the old city walls, with the botanical and rose gardens along the same walk.
