General presentation
Olomouc and Haná
Baroque university town, monumental squares, religious heritage and gentle countryside of the Haná plain.
To understand what Olomouc and Haná are, you must look at the Column of the Holy Trinity, High Square and Cathedral of St.Venceslas. These places show a territory marked by urban life, heritage and the countryside and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 1 to 3 days, it is better to balance visits and travel times. Also to be anticipated: stay rather short and less known than Prague. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Town or village
Colonne de la Sainte-Trinité
The Colonne de la Sainte-Trinité dominates the high square of Olomouc with a profusion of statues, gilding and baroque details. It functions as an urban as well as religious monument, surrounded by historical facades, fountains and the daily movement of the university city.
Nature
Place haute
The high square of Olomouc The city hall, astronomical clock, baroque fountains and terraces are combined in a large cobbled area. The city's old rank is immediately read, but the atmosphere remains alive thanks to students, markets and nearby cafes.
Cathedral
Cathedral of Saint-Venceslas
St. Venceslas Cathedral stands in the castle district Olomouc, with high arrows, gothic nave and surrounding religious buildings. The area is quieter than the large squares, and allows to connect the baroque city with its medieval origins.
