Litomerice: Mírové náměstí
Litoměřice lies along the Elbe River near its confluence with the Ohře, with the wooded slopes of the České středohoří rising beyond its compact historic core. Mírové náměstí is the town’s broad central square, framed by burgher houses whose façades reflect rebuilding from Gothic and Renaissance origins through Baroque and later periods. The Renaissance town hall and the nearby Church of All Saints mark the centre of this former royal town. Litoměřice also has a long wine-growing tradition, supported by the sheltered conditions of the Elbe valley. Its orderly streets and red-tiled roofs give this northern Bohemian centre a distinctly urban character.

The Ore Mountains and the Elbe valley define much of Ústecký kraj - coalfields, fertile river slopes and a major transport route have shaped its industry, agriculture and settlement. Around Most, decades of lignite extraction have altered the basin, with extensive land reclamation continuing alongside active mining. To the north, the region reaches the Elbe Sandstone landscape of Bohemian Switzerland National Park, home to Pravčická brána, a natural sandstone arch. The Elbe also links Ústí nad Labem with Litoměřice and Terezín, whose 18th-century fortress later became a Nazi ghetto and prison during the Second World War.

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.
