Ostrava

Tucked along the Ostravice River in northeastern Czechia, Ostrava is a city whose character is shaped by its coal-mining and steelmaking past. The Lower Vítkovice industrial complex preserves blast furnaces, mine buildings and other monumental works from the city’s heavy-industrial era; today it also hosts concerts and cultural events. Nearby, the Silesian Ostrava Castle stands above the confluence of the Lučina and Ostravice, while Landek Park recalls the region’s mining heritage. Ostrava’s cultural calendar includes Colours of Ostrava, an international music festival held at Lower Vítkovice.
