Top Attractions in Olomouc
💡 Enter from the cathedral side via the archway – there’s a small gate that leads to a hidden courtyard with original 12th-century stonework and a view over the city rooftops.
💡 Bring bread for the ducks and watch for the ring-necked parakeets that roost in the big plane trees near the lake – they’re loud but fun.
💡 Go at sunset when the stone catches warm light and the square is quieter. The astronomical clock nearby does a mini show on the hour.
💡 Stand right in front at 12 noon for the full chiming display. The mosaic tiles depict famous Czechs, so look out for the Jára Cimrman panel – he’s fictional but treated as local hero.
💡 Check the church noticeboard for occasional free choir concerts. The crypt smells of old stone and wax – bring a jumper as it’s cool even in summer.
