A few words on Olomouc
Moravia's baroque secret, hiding in plain sight.
Olomouc was the most important city in Moravia until the Swedes occupied it for eight years during the Thirty Years' War, leaving in 1650 and taking the regional capital title with them to Brno. What they left behind was a city preserved almost by accident, the administrative rebuilding never quite catching up, the baroque monuments standing intact because there was no money to tear them down and start over. The Holy Trinity Column, completed in 1754 after 38 years of construction, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site: a towering baroque candle flame of gilded figures rising from the upper square.
Six baroque fountains scatter through the old town, each depicting a different ancient figure - Jupiter, Mercury, Triton, Neptune, Hercules, Julius Caesar.
They survived because the city council kept them as fire reserves rather than fashionable decoration, which meant no one had justification to remove them. The Palacky University, founded in 1573, gives Olomouc the highest density of university students per capita in Central Europe, which fills the old town's bars and coffeehouses with exactly the energy you would hope for.

Olomouc FAQ
Before you walk.
Olomouc has good rail connections to Prague (about 2 hours), Brno (45 minutes), and Vienna (3 hours). The train station is about a 15-minute walk from the old town or a short tram ride. Olomouc is an easy addition to a Czechia itinerary between Brno and Prague.
Yes. The historic center is compact and almost entirely flat. The six baroque fountains are spread across the two main squares and connecting streets, so you naturally pass them as you walk. The old town is largely pedestrianized and comfortable to navigate.
Olomoucke tvaruzky (Olomouc sour cheese) is the city's most famous product, an intensely pungent soft cheese that divides opinion strongly. The local student population supports a wide range of affordable restaurants. Moravian wine from the region south of the city is worth seeking out - it is some of the best in the Czech Republic.
Significantly. Olomouc receives a fraction of the tourism that Prague and Cesky Krumlov attract, despite having comparable baroque architecture and a more authentic everyday Czech atmosphere. You are unlikely to queue for anything or struggle to find a restaurant table, even in summer.

This tour was such a great way to see the city. The stories were interesting without feeling too scripted, and I loved being able to explore at my own pace.

This was a solid way to get to know Brighton without feeling like a tourist. The narration had depth and context, but didn't overdo it.
