Understand

Step back in time in Olomouc, a city with nearly 1000 years of history. According to legends, it was founded by Julius Caesar, although it's unlikely he personally visited. Originally a Roman military camp named Julii Mons, the city gradually transformed into Olomouc. Today, Olomouc boasts stunning buildings, a vibrant cultural scene (home of the Moravian Philharmonic Orchestra), and a plethora of charming restaurants, bars, and pubs. Often overlooked by tourists, the city exudes a relaxed and authentic atmosphere. Its status as a university town, particularly with Palacky University, adds a youthful energy. However, it's worth noting that some establishments close during summer vacations. Furthermore, Olomouc's historic churches, due to its long-standing Catholic Archbishop seat, showcase remarkable decorations, making them hidden gems of Central Europe.
