Cities

Hradec Králové

The enchanting scenery at the confluence of the Labe and Orlice rivers, an eventful history of one of the oldest Czech cities, a convenient position only 100 km from Prague, and an unusually elegant combination of Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and modern architecture: that is Hradec Králové.

Jičín

The city of Czech fairy tales as well as a stately residence of Albrecht of Valdštejn, who wanted to build the centre of his estate here – this is Jičín, one of the gates to the Bohemian Paradise and the rocks in Prachovské skály. Come and uncover the mysteries of the powerful aristocrat, enjoy the fairy tale atmosphere and get to know one of the most beautiful Czech cities.
