Olomouc is by no means a large city, meaning the overwhelming majority of its main attractions can be accessed by foot, whatever the weather. Life begins in the main square, arguably the most impressive in the entire country, a stunning plaza ringed by gorgeous architecture and home to a number of fascinating fountains and statues. Elsewhere we find medieval churches, castles, ruins, some of the best museums in Moravia, an abandoned Yugoslav mausoleum and a whole lot more. Olomouc is also a great base for exploring the region, especially for those looking for quality independent beer.
