České Budějovice: Ceske Budejovice 6: Město České Budějovice - Pohled na město
The landscape around České Budějovice is low-lying and shaped by the Vltava and Malše rivers, which has shaped both the built environment and local life. Founded in 1265 by King Přemysl Otakar II, the city developed as a planned royal town in southern Bohemia. Its broad Přemysl Otakar II Square is framed by arcaded burgher houses, the Baroque Samson Fountain and the Town Hall. The Black Tower, completed in the 16th century, remains a defining feature of the skyline. České Budějovice is also home to Budweiser Budvar, whose beer has made the city known far beyond Czechia. Residential districts and parks extend from the compact historic centre across the broad river plain.

Founded in 1265 by King Přemysl Otakar II, it is organised around the vast Přemysl Otakar II Square, where the Baroque Samson Fountain stands beside arcaded townhouses. The 16th-century Black Tower remains a defining landmark, while the city is also closely associated with Budweiser Budvar beer, brewed here since 1895.

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.
