Travel Tip: Uherske Hradiste, beautiful historic town surrounded by vineyards

in traveltip •  7 years ago 

Dear Steemit friends and followers,

Welcome to my Travel Tip series where I promote some of the most beautiful places, interesting landmarks and impressive architectural sites of my homeland, the Czech Republic.

Today, I will take you to one of the most beautiful Moravian towns, the picturesque town of Uherske Hradiste.

Located in South Moravia, just some 23 km (14 mi) outside the city of Zlin, Uherske Hradiste (translated as Hungarian Gord) is a mid-sized Czech town with a population of about 25,000.

Founded as early as in 1257 by the Czech king Otakar II (hence a royal town), Uherske Hradiste has always been a center of the Slovacko Region, a part of South Moravia famous for unique folklore, traditions, music, architecture and most notably – wine production.

Visitors interested in the traditions of the region should not miss out on the Slovacko Museum where they can learn many interesting things about the history and culture of the region.

The historic center of the town has a status of protected conservation area as there are many important historic buildings there such as the Town Hall, the St. Francis Xavier Church, the Plaque Column found on the Marian Square etc.

Once you get enough of strolling the town´s picturesque streets and squares, you can head out to explore surrounding landscape that is just as impressive. There are many beautiful vineyards in the vicinity of the town as well as numerous great hiking trails and bike lanes.

It's ancient and historical location I know now. Slovacko Museum is huge crowd indeed impressive street market location. We can find history there. If we have to see vineyards wow....very interesting to me. Thanks for given priceless assistance.

I am very happy to hear that the travel tip series are useful for some! Thank you for your comment. Tomas

Czech Republic has many precious not only in the center of the country but also in other areas.
Also, Tomas, I have one question.
You have already told us about many wonderful places in the Czech Republic, but for some reason you don't tell us about places where tourists can eat and relax after visiting the sights of your country?
I mean cafes and restaurants, not only such known as Vytopna or Alcron but also local cafes located for example in Brno or in other places. I think it would be useful for Steemians to know about it.

Very good point indeed! I did something in that sense in the past but might be a good time to do something similar once again. Give me some time and i will:)... Thank you for your suggestion and have a great day. Tomas

Now can be a really good time for it. Besides, the warm season comes and the Czech Republic will visit more tourists. Thanks for your answer, and waiting your new travel tips! Sincerely yours @travoved!

I have big dream for visit Prague in future. Before you followed I never see Czech Republic. But after followed I known lot of things about Czech and now I have lot of images you uploaded there. Uherske Hradiste is most beautiful city in Czech. Museum wanna gives up more historical contents there. Vine yard so beautiful. Czech has proudable look.

Make your dream a reality:).....

These posts are great, I would like to travel to the Czech Republic but would like a more authentic experience in areas not visited by tourists as much. Posts such as this I find valueable towards planning my trip!
