Ostrava is a city on the river Oder. It is the third largest city in the Czech Republic and is located at the point where the smaller Ostravice River flows into the Oder River. Ostrava was founded in 1267, and it developed easily with the city’s strategically good location on the border between Moravia and Silesia. Later, Ostrava became the center of an extensive coal mining and metal industry, which lasted until the end of the 20th century.
Today, Ostrava is a beautiful and cozy city with an old quarter that is suitable for good walks and sights within close distance to each other. The square Masarykovo náměstí is the center of the city, and on the square, you can see a plague column erected in 1702 and the city’s old town hall, now set up as the Ostrava Museum. At the museum, you can learn more about Ostrava’s history through pictures, documents, archaeological finds, and more.
North of the old town, you can see Ostrava’s current town hall, which stands along Ostravice as one of the city’s most characteristic buildings. The town hall was built 1924-1930, and in the slender tower there is a viewing terrace at a height of 73 meters, from which there is a panoramic view of Ostrava. Behind the town hall, you can take a walk along the river to the park Komenského Sady, where there is a monument commemorating Soviet soldiers.
On the eastern bank of Ostravice you can visit the Silesian Ostrava Castle, which was originally built in the 1280s and rebuilt in the 16th century. The castle is today one of the city’s major attractions. You can continue south of the city, where there is industrial history. Here are the Trojhalí Karolina halls and the large works in the district of Vítkovice. In Ruská and Vitkovická streets, you can visit museums and lookouts in and around the closed factories.
