The city of Olomouc at a glance

Olomouc is considered a student city in the Czech Republic. A glance at the figures shows why: around 20 percent of the 100,000 inhabitants are students.

Things to know about Olomouc

The city of Olomouc

Of course, history has also left its mark in Olomouc, in the form of a stately fortress, a Baroque main square, a richly decorated plague column, and also in the pretty churches such as St. Michael's Church or St. Maurice's Church. Museums, the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra and numerous festivals provide cultural variety throughout the year.

In and around the city you will also find a variety of sports and recreational opportunities, and cycling and hiking trails are also right outside the city. They are easily accessible by public transport, as are the important points: 5 tram lines and 23 bus lines criss-cross the city.

Olomouc is also known for its culinary offer: The Olomouc Quargel, which can be tasted in numerous restaurants, and the beer that is famous for the Czech Republic. Inns, restaurants and bars ensure that no one goes hungry. Another advantage of Olomouc is its central location: Krakow, Prague, Brno or Vienna can be reached in a short time.
