It is always a good idea to go somewhere for a weekend, especially if there is a direct train connection with Prague. For this time I travel to Olomouc. And honestly, I do not have any plan, what to do there, but maybe I just wanted to check the train company Leo Express, cause usually I travel with Cesky Drahy.
Olomouc is the 6st largest city in Czechia, and it has around 100000 inhabitants. It lies in the heart of Moravia and in the past it was its capital.
One of the most beautiful and the most needed to visit monuments in Olomouc is the Saint Wenceslas Cathedral. Founded in 1107, nowadays it has the gothic style.
The next necessary thing to do in the city is of course tasting local delicatessen, called Olomoucke Tvaruzky. Indeed, its very salty, very smelly, but with very unique taste cheese. It contains lots of protein, but usually goes well with beer. Honestly, I am not going to miss this food, but next visit I will eat it again.
Of course there are much more places and things to explore in the city, including the iconic Holy Trinity Column, the Astronomical Clock and even the beautiful Botanical Gardens, and the good thing is that all of them are located close to each other. Very compact and comfy.
I need to say, that am in love with cobblestone streets in Olomouc. But most of all I appreciate the quietness here. So, this silent, cozy city is an ideal destination if you are tired of the hustle in the megapolis. Definitely, I would come here again to enjoy solitude and unhurried walking.
Very nice pictures 🫶🏻🌫️🚇🚋🌌
