Located in the eastern region of Prague
is a mid-sized city not usually found on the travel list of tourists,
but which has amazed every visitor
for many decades. Called Olomouc,
this city with a population of more than 100,000 is relatively
unknown to many tourists but is highly
recommended for every visitor
to the country. It is the home of some of the most impressive
structures in the country and an amazing
culture that could easily
rival Prague. In fact, it’s highly recommended to stay in the city
for a few days to fully enjoy the beauty of
Olomouc. If you want to
visit a great place aside from Prague with your escort, Olomouc is
one of the best options.
Traveling to Olomouc
Because of the city’s cultural
significance in the Czech Republic, tourists should be able to visit
the city without any problem from Prague.
There are trains that leave
the city and the travel time is from 2.5 hours to 3.5 hours depending
on the company. Vienna and Krakow
also have trains that go through Olomouc. The price of the ticket ranges from 400 Kč to 510Kč. The
bus is also another option but it’s
a lot longer (more than 4
hours) because it has to travel through the southern region of the
Czech Republic before reaching Olomouc.
Touring Olomouc
From the train station, take a tram to
the city center. From that point, you and your hot adult companion
can visit various places on foot.
You can also opt to purchase
one-day pass tickets which are good for unlimited rides on the bus
and trams. Never ride the bus without
a ticket as the penalty is 10
times more than the original fare.
Structures and Places to Visit
There are too many places to visit in
Olomouc and one day in the city will never suffice. The following are
some of the most interesting
structures in the city to explore with
your adult companion:
Holy Trinity Column
– it’s categorized as a column but this UNESCO Heritage Site is
more than just a piece of concrete. Built during the
1700s, it
features a very impressive baroque architectural design and
sculptures from the same period.
Town Hall – this
is the first structure you’ll notice since it’s located right in
the city center. Found near the town hall is the astronomical
clock
and its tower is often sought by tourists because of the view it
offers.
St. Wenceslas
Cathedral – the 2nd tallest church in the country, St.
Wenceslas is also one of the oldest structures in the country.
St. Moritz Church –
for those who are very familiar with various architectural designs,
St. Moritz Church offers a glimpse of a true
Gothic design. The
structure was built at the end of the 14th century.
