Discovering Kroměříž: Czechia’s Baroque wins UNESCO recognition

Step into Kroměříž, an enchanting Czech town famed for its centuries-old Baroque architecture, the UNESCO-listed Archbishop’s Palace, and lush gardens that whisper history at every turn. This hidden gem blends royal opulence with a laid-back vibe, perfect for curious travelers and lovers of historic cities. Start your day at the Archbishop’s Palace—wander through its grand halls and don’t miss the incredible sala terrena and art gallery featuring works by masters like Titian. Outside, stroll the Flower Garden (Května zahrada) for meticulously shaped hedges and fountains—an “insta-worthy” spot, especially the rotunda and panoramic garden views! Venture into the old town square, lined with colorful burgher houses and lively cafes. It’s a must for people-watching and local treats. If you’re feeling energetic, climb the palace tower for stunning rooftop shots over Kroměříž—a hidden angle that truly captures the town’s character. Practical tip: Kroměříž is best explored on foot. Comfortable shoes are essential since cobblestone streets can be slippery, especially after rain. Local opening hours for most attractions are 9:00–17:00 (closed Mondays), so plan accordingly. For cellars, wine tastings are often available by previous arrangement—ask locally in advance to guarantee a spot! #kromeriz#czechrepublic #europe #travel #unesco
