Ústí nad Labem is a city in the northern Czech Republic, located on the banks of the Elbe. It was known as a royal city from 1249, and later in the same century King Ottokar II invited German settlers to develop the city. Over time, Ústí nad Labem was repeatedly destroyed by fires, wars and sieges, and in 1830 there were 1,400 people living here. However, industrialization, settlements and a function as a traffic hub caused the city to boom in the following century.
Today, Ústí nad Labem is characterized by a modern cityscape around the central square, Mírové náměstí. From here you can take a stroll through the city’s streets, where you can, for example, go to Kostelní náměstí, where the Church of the Assumption of Mary is located. The church was originally built in the 1300s-1400s, but it was rebuilt in late Gothic style in the 1880s. The church is known for its leaning tower, which was the result of a bombardment during World War II.
In the center you can also see the beautiful baroque church, Kostel svatého Vojtěcha, which was constructed 1715-1730 as a Dominican monastery church. In the western part of the city center is the square Lidické náměstí, where you can see Ústí nad Labem’s modern town hall at one end and the city’s beautiful neo-baroque theater, which was built in 1908-1909 according to the elegant design of the Viennese architect Alexander Graf.
Next to the theater you can visit the Ústí nad Labem city museum, which is housed in a beautiful former school building that also served as the town council’s meeting hall. In the museum you can see some fine cultural and natural history collections from the city and the area, and in the museum, you can notice the Imperial Hall, which was decorated for Emperor Franz Joseph I’s visit to the city in 1917. If you want to get out of the city center, it is obvious to choose the castle ruin Hrad Střekov for a tour. It has been on a cliff top along the Elbe since the 14th century.
Karlovy Vary is one of the famous spa towns in the northwestern part of the Czech Republic. The city is located at the confluence of the rivers Ohře and Teplá, and it is named after its founder, Charles IV, who was King of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor. Karlovy Vary was founded in 1349, and the reason was the presence of hot springs, which since then boosted a great economy from tourists arriving from most parts of the world.
In Karlovy Vary you can enjoy some lovely walks in the cozy centre, where elegant architecture characterizes the cityscape. It is especially along the banks of the river Teplá that you can explore the characteristic Karlovy Vary from the time when the city became one of Europe’s most visited spa towns. There are squares, parks, hotels, spas and, of course, the view of the city’s beautiful buildings in, for example, Lázeňská street.
Prague is one of Central Europe’s most enchanting and interesting cities. The river Vltava meanders through the city passing several hills and boroughs, each containing unique architectural gems, elegant squares, green oases and everything else that belongs to a big city.
A meeting with Prague is a meeting with one of Europe’s old and large cultural cities. Throughout the streets of the old town you will find nice architecture, large institutional buildings, churches and historical places where emperors and kings have left their mark over the years. The Old City and the New City are located on the eastern side of the river, and together with the Lessor Town and Prague Castle on the western shore, they make the most interesting parts of Prague.
Dresden is one of the most beautiful cities in Germany. Zwinger, Katolische Hofkirche, Semperoper and Frauenkirche are some of the famous building from the magnificent baroque era, which the city is so famous for. However, Dresden has much more to offer as well, such as Altmarkt and Prager Straße, both originating from the GDR.
Throughout time, the Saxon princes have built Dresden as a true world city in beautiful Baroque, and fine culture has always flourished among the beautiful buildings. As a visitor, you will enjoy this when you visit the grand museums, see the fine architecture or just walk the city streets. The scenery along the River Elbe is worth seeing on the way.
