The Litomerice region, characteristic of riverside lowlands and with its volcanic outcrops offers a rich variety of natural features. The fertility of the landscape earned it the name Garden of Bohemia back in the 17th century.
Here, at the confluence of the Labe and Ohre rivers, in the picturesque region of the Czech Central Mountains, lies one of the oldest and most beautiful Czech towns, the royal town of Litomerice, whose population nowadays is almost 26,000 people. As mute witness to the historic glory of Royal Litomerice stand Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, protected under an urban preservation order since the year 1978.
Out of 256 sites, 104 of them are listed in the state record of cultural real-estate monuments, and almost all of them are to found in the historical heart of the town, which for the most part is encircled by well-preserved Gothic fortifications.
The houses around the square, the ancient cellars, numerous churches, the museum, several galleries, all these and a host of other interesting features await your visit. Should you get tired of walking around, stroll over to the fortification parklands, where you can refresh yourself in the peace and quiet, with a view over old Litomerice and Domský peak, not to mention the panorama of the Czech Central Mountains, Hazmburk and the memorable Rip mountain, and here you will see why the romantic poet K. H. Macha loved this region so much.
