The best photos of Olomouc aren't always at the obvious landmarks. Sure, Holy Trinity Column and Upper Square will fill your camera roll, but the real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, and the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot. Seek out Baroque fountains for the kind of shot that no one else is posting.

The audio walking tour can include stops such as Holy Trinity Column — a 35-meter baroque monument with over 40 figures, UNESCO-listed, Upper Square — the main square with the astronomical clock, town hall, and surrounding baroque buildings, St. Wenceslas Cathedral — a Gothic cathedral with the tallest church spire in Moravia, plus hidden gems like Baroque fountains — six elaborate baroque fountains depicting Caesar, Neptune, Hercules, and other figures across the old town and Olomouc tvaruzky — the pungent local cheese, an acquired taste and a point of regional pride.
Use this page as a starting point for a Olomouc walking tour, a free self-guided route, or the Roamee app for Olomouc. Roamee Pro keeps the route flexible so you can follow the stops, skip ahead, or explore nearby streets at your own pace.
Olomouc attracts visitors for architecture and history, and Holy Trinity Column and Upper Square and every landmark doubles as a photography opportunity when you know where to stand and when the light is best. A photography-focused walk pays attention to reflections, leading lines, and street scenes between the landmarks. Hidden photogenic spots like Baroque fountains reward those who wander off the main path.
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.
