The cultural life of Olomouc runs far deeper than its headline attractions. Places like Holy Trinity Column and Upper Square are only the beginning, and quieter spots like Baroque fountains reveal traditions that tourist crowds never reach. Walking connects you to the living traditions that make this city unforgettable.
A Moravian university city with a stunning UNESCO-listed plague column and a concentration of baroque architecture rivaling Prague.

Olomouc is celebrated for architecture and history, and culture is the thread binding all of it — from Holy Trinity Column and Upper Square to the stories behind every street name. Walking with a cultural lens turns any route into something richer. Overlooked corners like Baroque fountains carry just as much meaning as the marquee institutions.
The old town is compact and centered on two main squares. Walk between them to see all six baroque fountains — about 20 minutes for the circuit.
April through October. Olomouc is pleasant year-round and far less crowded than Prague.
