City Introduction

Pardubice is a town located at the point where the river Chrudimka flows into the Elbe. It was first mentioned as a town in 1340 and was continuously expanded through the years since then. This was the development, not least, after the nobleman Vilém II. z Pernštejna took over Pardubice in 1491. The Pernštejn family built the entire city center, and they expanded the city castle into an elegant residence. Over the following centuries, the city preserved its style and buildings.

The old town of Pardubice is therefore full of cozy streets and squares, and Perštýnské náměstí is the most beautiful square to start a stroll. Here, houses from the Late Gothic and the Renaissance stand side by side and form a fine urban space, where you can see Pardubice’s fine town hall on the north side. In front of the town hall, you can notice the Plague Column from 1698, which was erected in gratitude for the end of the plague, that were passing the city in 1680.

From Perštýnské náměstí you can walk west to the Zelená brána tower, one of the city’s landmarks. Zelená brána consists of both a 59-meter-high tower and a Renaissance city gate. The structure was part of Pardubice’s old fortifications, and today there is access to the tower, from which there is a great view of the city. To the west of Zelená brána is the square náměstí Republiky, which forms the modern center of Pardubice.

The city theater is located on náměstí Republiky, and the shopping street of tř. Míru starts from here. At tř. Míru you can try Pardubice’s famous gingerbread, pardubický perník, which is baked traditionally in several places in the city. From the square you can also visit the castle Zámek Pardubice, which was mainly built in the 16th century. The castle is today surrounded by a lovely park, and it is set up as a regional museum, where you can explore the beautiful interior.
