Breclav: náměstí Tomáše Garrigue Masaryka - Poštorná
Tucked into the lowlands along the Dyje River, Poštorná is a place whose character is shaped by the flat terrain of southern Moravia. This district forms the southern part of Břeclav, close to Czechia’s border with Austria and amid the agricultural land of the Dyje floodplain. Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk Square bears the name of Czechoslovakia’s first president and serves as a local civic address rather than a grand urban piazza. Poštorná is best known for the Church of the Visitation of the Virgin Mary, a substantial brick church built for the Liechtenstein estate at the end of the 19th century. Its exposed red brick sets the district apart from Břeclav’s main centre. Břeclav is also an important railway junction on routes linking Brno, Vienna and Slovakia.

Břeclav is best known in South Moravia for Pohansko, an archaeological site preserving the remains of a major Great Moravian fortified settlement. The town stands on the Dyje River, close to Czechia’s borders with Austria and Slovakia, in a lowland of floodplain woods and vineyards. Pohansko’s 9th-century ramparts, church foundations and burial grounds recall the period when Great Moravia was a leading Slavic polity. West of town, the UNESCO-listed Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape combines formal parks with the Lednice and Valtice châteaux across an extensive designed estate.

South Moravian Region has acted as a cultural crossroads within the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. Brno, Czechia’s second-largest city, is its urban centre, with Špilberk Castle recalling its long strategic role. The region extends across the warm lowlands of the Morava and Dyje rivers, where vineyards shape the countryside around Mikulov and Znojmo. To the north, the Moravian Karst is known for its limestone caves and the Macocha Abyss. The Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines formal estates, follies and parkland near the Austrian border.

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.
