Is Olomouc Czech Republic\u2019s best secret? Yes, we think so!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If we said that Olomouc is one of the highlights in Czech Republic, we\u2019d lie. The town is practically unknown outside the Czech Republic and if we did not have a big fan at our Happy Tours office, we also wouldn\u2019t pay attention to it. But now we do.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And we only regret that somebody did not tell us about this hidden gem before. It is pristine, unique and totally intertwined with its rich history. It is something we now put on our bucket list and encourage our guests to visit while in Czech Republic. It is countries best kept secret and once you explore you get to see why. Best things are always hidden.<\/p>\n

The town is often referred to as Little Prague, as it boasts a great number of historical and cultural sites \u2013 similar to Prague, with the advantage being that they are not overcrowded yet.<\/p>\n

We won\u2019t go into details with the rich history of the town, here, we\u2019ll rather talk about cheese, Mozart, cats and world\u2019s most beautiful hospital.<\/p>\n

Say cheese!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Olomouck\u00fd s\u00fdr or tvar\u016f\u017eky is reputedly the smelliest in the Czech Republic. What\u2019s special about it, is the fact that it pairs well with beer (not wine!). It has a strong scent and a specific flavour, but it\u2019s really worth trying it. There is also a Cheese Museum about 30 minutes outside of Olomouc, but if you\u2019re lacking the time, there are plenty of places within the city where you can taste it. In fact, you can even purchase it at a vending machine. Now, how cool is that?
\nMozart rocked it here
\nWho would have thought that Mozart can be associated with Olomouc? The thing with Mozart and the Czech Republic is big \u2013 there are many connections, but still: his star shone at brightest when he was in Olomouc, at the age of 11. Back then Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the brilliant Austrian composer and pianist composed Symphony No. 6 in F major during his stay in the Hauenschild’s Palace and later in the Cathedral’s Deanery.<\/p>\n

A cat caf\u00e9? Seriously? Yes, you got that right.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Olomouc is trendy and young at heart. Apart from trendy bars (no wonder, it\u2019s a university city) this is also shown by the fact that they have their very own cat caf\u00e9 named CoffeeCat, the latest global craze. And Olomouc is all in. So, while enjoying tea and biscuits you can happily pet a cat and feel like home. Cosiness at its best, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

World\u2019s most beautiful hospital<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Czech Republic\u2019s oldest military hospital, which is still in use today, dates back to as early as 1078. Beautiful Baroque exterior and interior make it one f the most beautiful hospitals we have ever encountered. One would have thought that one has entered an art gallery or a museum, but it\u2019s actually one of the two hospitals in the area. You can admire it from the outside or at least peek inside and check out all those details that make it special.<\/p>\n

If the above stated hasn\u2019t convinced you to visit Olomouc, we don\u2019t resent you. We\u2019d rather if it stays a secret… But if you decided to put in on your bucket list, we think it\u2019s the only right way to visit it with Happy Tours. And we\u2019ll have our biggest fan of the town prepare the itinerary for you. Get ready for some cheese and cats!<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
