Holy Trinity Column

This 115-foot-tall, early-18th-century structure is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Reviewed By Alexander_Kudrin - Samara, Russia

Impressive structure in the center of the city's main square. The plague pillar was built as a sign of gratitude to the inhabitants of the city for getting rid of the plague. There are many such pillars throughout Europe, but this is one of the most impressive and beautiful.

St Moritz Church

Reviewed By 545medva - Budapest, Hungary

From outside it is not so inviting, you will mark the two different towers of the church. Inside it is great, fully decorated, nice wooden sculptors, etc. There is the largest orgen in Czechia, and the International Organ Festival is held here.

Olomouc Archdiocese Museum

Reviewed By Alda1965 - Stockholm, Sweden

I am local patriot, …. but if I can spread the experiencies of my friends from other part of Czechia or Europe or the rest of world, that is one of the best and pleasant suprise of their visit of Olomouc. It is a perfect combination of medieval architecture, with modern reconstruction, collection of religious artefacts, awesome golden archiepiscopal coach, contemporary exhition etc. etc. It is on the same place as St. Wencel Cathedral and Roman Bishop Palais.

Katedrala sv. Vaclava

Reviewed By ruzha14 - Prague, Czech Republic

The Church of St. Wenceslas in Olomouc has a long and rich history, similar to the Church of St. Vitus in Prague. The Prague Church as a rotunda was founded in the first half of the 10th century, the church in Olomouc is less than 200 years younger. Now both of these churches appear to be magnificent cathedrals.

Pevnost poznani

Reviewed By 926lenkaj - San Luis Potosi, Mexico

The Fort Science, the young science museum project by Palacky University, is in a beautiful area of Olomouc's Park. Te building itself - a historical place is well renovated, there is plenty of programmes and educational activities for kids, there is a giant model of human brain and much more. But the most amazing fact about this place - the whole family will spend clever time there. Not just like the kids are having fun while parents are bored.

Olomouc Zoo

Reviewed By travellinrabbit

Deceptively large, this zoo was a fantastic day out! There are a number of modern developments on site, a great range of animals and some fun activities such as riding the safari train or climbing the observation tower. There is plenty to see and do. The highlight for me was the gorgeous sun bear Bara, who I greatly enjoyed having the opportunity to hand feed. The black bear family is also really gorgeous, there is an impressive collection of small cats, I enjoyed the carnivore house and the collection of South American animals is also notable. Truly a really memorable zoo.
