Olomouc je odedávna duchovní metropolí Moravy. Je sídlem arcibiskupství, své kostely a modlitebny zde naleznou věřící hlásící se k různým vyznáním. Říká se, že co do počtu kostelů a kaplí je jich v Olomouci nejvíce na obyvatele. Mnohé olomoucké chrámy mají vysokou uměleckou i historickou hodnotu.
A CITY OF MONUMENTS, PARKS AND ENTERTAINMENT, A SUPERB BLEND OF BEAUTY AND FUN
The Astronomical Clock on the front of the Olomouc Town Hall is a rarity in worldwide terms, reconstructed after World War II in socialist realist style with a procession of figures of workers, sportsmen and rural folk. The imposing beauty of the Holy Trinity Column – a UNESCO monument, the group of six Baroque fountains and the modern Arion Fountain are further unique features concentrated in the historical town centre.
The cathedral and palaces on the Wenceslas mound impress visitors with one thousand years of history. It was at this historical site, known as the Olomouc castle, that the last ruler of the Přemyslid dynasty died at the sword, and the young W. A. Mozart composed his sixth symphony here. Part of the former fortification from the era of Empress Marie Theresa, previously used as a barracks, is now a busy entertainment centre containing dozens of pubs and clubs. Meanwhile an oasis of calm is provided by the Olomouc‘s gardens or the outdoor bathing area at Poděbrady on the edge of town, with a terrace restaurant, clean water and grassy banks for sunbathing.
Olomouc is well worth a longer stay! A trip to the monumental pilgrimage church at Svatý Kopeček offers a superb view of the town and the fertile Haná plain, walks in the forest and a large Zoo containing hundreds of species of animals and entertainment for all the family. The aqua park with several attractions, the vintage car museum, paths for roller skating, galleries, theatres, festivals, Olomouc parks and military forts and bastions, walks through picturesque countryside or tours of grandiose castles in the region provide for several days of entertainment and relaxation.
