Litomysl: Město - Zámek
Litomyšl occupies a valley of the Loučná River in eastern Bohemia. Its Renaissance château, built in the second half of the 16th century for the Pernštejn family, is renowned for façades covered in sgraffito decoration and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1999. The castle complex includes a landscaped garden and a theatre from the late 18th century. Beyond its arcaded main square, the town is closely associated with composer Bedřich Smetana, who was born here in 1824; the annual Smetana’s Litomyšl festival continues that musical connection. Low, rolling farmland around the town underlines its setting near the historic borderlands of Bohemia and Moravia.

Composer Bedřich Smetana was born here in 1824, and the annual Smetana’s Litomyšl festival keeps his music at the centre of the town’s cultural calendar. Arcades around the main square and the château grounds give the compact centre a distinctive architectural character.

The Labe crosses its western lowlands around Pardubice before the terrain rises toward the Orlické Mountains and the Žďárské vrchy. Pardubice developed around its Renaissance castle and is associated with the Pardubice Steeplechase, a race first held in 1874. To the south-east, Litomyšl is known for its Renaissance château, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, while Kladruby nad Labem preserves the stud landscape linked to the Kladruber horse.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
