Many people don’t think of Ostrava when planning a trip — or they’ve never even heard of it. And that’s exactly what makes visiting so special. It’s not crowded, not overhyped, and full of unexpected discoveries. Here’s why Ostrava is worth exploring:

• It’s real, raw, and unforgettable.

Ostrava doesn’t pretend. It shows you its history, its transformation, and its energy without filters. You’ll feel the soul of the city in its streets, old industrial zones, and everyday life.

•  Away from mass tourism – but ready for you at every step

Ostrava is a calm, authentic city with excellent transport, modern hotels, great food, and everything visitors expect from the third-largest city in the Czech Republic.

• Where coal meets culture.

The city once ran on coal and steel. Now, those same places are alive with music, art, science, and festivals. Dolní Vítkovice is a perfect example — a former ironworks turned cultural landmark.

• Nature is just around the corner.

Three rivers run through Ostrava, and green parks stretch across the city. You can take a peaceful walk, ride a bike, or hike up the warm and strange Ema Slag Heap to see the city from above.

• Nightlife you won’t forget.

Ostrava has its own rhythm after dark — from lively bars and cozy pubs to live music and dancing until morning. And it’s not just one street — the whole city knows how to have a good time.

• Surprising stories everywhere.

Every corner has a tale — about workers and artists, old industries and new ideas. Our guides will bring them to life and show you a side of the city most people never get to see.

• You’ll leave with a new favorite place.

Ostrava grows on you. It’s not love at first sight — but it’s the kind of love that lasts. If you give it a chance, you’ll understand why those who live here are so proud to call it home.

Let us show you Ostrava the way we know it.

Come explore with our guides — and experience a city that’s anything but ordinary.
