The Town of Olomouc
Olomouc is a place where the excitement of student life is nested in the environment of rich cultural tradition.
Enjoying a night out in the historical centre and then walking through the streets, surrounded by a seamless blend of architectural styles, particularly renaissance and baroque, is an experience only Prague might rival to offer. Allow yourself to experience local gastronomy in various traditional restaurants. Places like Vertigo Bar or Jazz Tibet Club are a testament to this dynamics, so make sure to check them out once you’re here!
And if you’ll ever need a break from enjoying the nightlife, you can always retreat to one of the three Olomouc’s parks or many of its cafés, teahouses and museums.
