Zelena Brana

Reviewed By Janulik - Prague, Czech Republic

This is probably the main attraction in Pardubice from a tourist point of view. The tower is open daily I believe but is definitely closed for lunch noon - 1 PM. Tickets are cheap and you can see a small gallery which hosted exhibition by some Irish painter at the time. You can climb the wooden stairs and see some displays obviously aimed at children on your way. The view is nice, the best overlooking the old square with the chateau. The gate was rebuilt after a fire and finished in 1547.

Pardubice Castle

Pardubice Castle is a showcase for the work of many talented individuals - architects, designers, sculptors, painters, engineers and military planners. This impressive late Gothic and early Renaissance residence, originally built for the powerful Pernstejn dynasty, is an oasis of calm in the very heart ov Pardubice´s city centre. Nestling amid its greenery, and still protected by its fortifications, this majestic palace still has the power to surprise visitors with its grandeur as soon as they step through the gates. The castle attracts tens of thousands of people per year, enjoying not only the building itself, but also the treasures of the East Bohemia Musem and East Bohemia Gallery. Pardubice Castle is one of the Czech Republice´s most valuable cultural heritage sites.

Took the train from Pardubice and from there it is about a 15 minute walk to the Chateau. I especially enjoyed walking through the old town square of Pardubice. Once at the Chateau you can pay to see the exhibits you would like. I chose to see the historic firearm room as well as the coin collection. That's just my own personal taste. Both exhibits were very nice. Overall a very enjoyable visit and I would go back to see more next time.

This novo-renesaince town hall is part of the main square called Pernštýnské náměstí. Time to time you can see wedding couples infront of the Hall, but there is no need of entering the building.

Vychodoceske Divadlo V Pardubicich

Reviewed By Janulik - Prague, Czech Republic

The building of the Theatre is definitely something you won't miss if you walk from the train station towards the old city centre. It was built during 1907-09, the front is decorated with medallions of Bedrich Smetana and J.K.Tyl. It was seriously damaged by fire in 1931 and the restoration cost 750,000 Kc which was a significant amount.

I spend a lot of time in Pardubice. The tourist information centre is great. Good for books, local souvenirs, typical Pardubice gingerbread etc. I always buy something here to take home, I prefer to spend my money in Pardubice rather than Prague. The ladies who work here are very good. They can help with things like train and bus times and sell you local bus tickets.

Reviewed By Деннис П - St. Petersburg, Russia

Заложенная на исходе XIII века церковь святого Варфоломея не отличается особой красотой, но её нужно рассматривать как пример удачного синтеза разных стилей: за прошедшие столетия костёл неоднократно перестраивали и расширяли.

Me and my friends was lucky to stay at Pardubice at the same time when there was a Night of museums event so we there was possibility to visit castle for free. And we had a great evening, with lot of attractions! First of all, in the front of castle we have met the peackocs. We visited the tower, where are the archeological expositions.

встретила костел, свернув с главной улицы trida Miru, ведущей от инфо-центра Пардубице к жд вокзалу. Белокаменная церковь с красной крышей, очень похож на костел Девы Марии. Напротив входа в церковь странный постамент округлой формы с каменными шарами.

Старинный костел постройки 14 века. Посетили его по карте-плану, который получили в инфо-центре Пардубице. Вокруг церкви тихий сквер с лавочками. Находится в правом проулке от площади Пернштейнов.
