Litomerice

Few cities in Ústecký kraj have a history as closely tied to the confluence of the Elbe and Ohře as Litoměřice. This royal town, granted its privileges by King Wenceslas I in 1229, developed as an important centre on northern Bohemian river routes. Mírové Square forms the heart of its historic core, while St Stephen’s Cathedral rises on Cathedral Hill above the town. Litoměřice also belongs to the Czech wine-growing landscape, with vineyards on the warmer slopes of the volcanic České středohoří. Nearby Terezín adds a sobering twentieth-century historical dimension to the area. Discover how Litoměřice fits into the wider Ústecký kraj by browsing webcams nearby.
