I live in Olomouc and I have to say that it's one of the best-looking cities in czech republic. Prague is also cool of course. And Olomouc contains lots of secret places as well as Prague.
The only thing they didn't mention are the ''catacombs'' under the St. Mauris church (sv. Mořice), or the pipe organ inside (7th biggest in Central Europe, and 52nd biggest in the world). The catacombs are small, but they have pretty cool history to them. And nothing about our little cathedral (Saint Wenceslas Cathedral)? Oh well, at least the most important things were covered.
I promised a random guy I was chatting to on the Prague metro that I would visit his beautiful hometown of Olomouc and I did, and it was a absolute joy. Guess what I’m visiting again next week 3 years later and jolly excited.
Hidden secret of olomouc. There is a company's shop from nestlé. There you can buy sweets which are odd shaped or broken for 1/10th of price. Like a bag of m&m for 5eur for 1kg.
I LOVE Olomouc! One of my favourite cities in the world! (and not just because my parents met at that university and were married in the town hall with that astronomical clock) Apparently, the original version of that astronomical clock is older than the one in Prague, the trinity column is one of the tallest/biggest in Europe, the city boasts TWO squares (perpendicular to each other), an AMAZING car and motorcycle museum, Wenceslas (yes, THAT Wenceslas of the Chrismas carol fame) Cathedral has the skull of St. Valentine (yes, THAT St. Valentine of St. Valentine's Day), Mozart lived in Olomouc, and I would strongly recommend renting a bike at the train station and biking around and outside of town... it's a beautiful place!
I'm proud to be a student of the Palacký University. I have to say that this city offers so many opportunities to grab food, relax, do activities... and the best bonus about it is how beautiful the city looks, especially the city centre and areas surrounding the faculty buildings.
This gives me so much nostalgia. I'm American but have a Czech mom from Olomouc. I really want to go back there. I actually wanted to study as a student at Palacký but it was too daunting moving from the USA across the world.
".......but it was too daunting to move from America across the world." How sad is that? I guess you are a US citizen? America is a continent. What about Brazilians, Canadians, Chileans, etc? One would think someone with your European background had more sense.
@Mein_KampfyChair You don't get it. Or is it because US citizens! think they own the whole continent (world)? It's definitely reflected in their (respective government's) attitude. Language matters. Too bad you didn't make it across the pond (or to anywhere else). One ignorant US citizen less......
I studied at the Palacky University, and I love Olomouc. Lovely city to experience the Czech culture and pub life. I am so happy that you made this video. In Vertigo, the mad dog shot is a must-try too
I lived in Olomouc for 8 years and absolutely loved living there! Great city! Thanks for doing this video - I’ll have to visit again soon as there were a couple places I didn’t know about! Another tip when visiting Long Story Short, you can borrow from them a set of pétanque balls and play it down the stairs!
Oooh, another city to my Czechia itinerary! I really enjoy you guys doing videos of different cities to give us a bigger picture of what CR has to offer!
I love Olomouc, I studied there 30 years ago at the Letni Skola Slovanskych Studium. I visited there 1 month ago and it is still magical. I wish I had seen this video before I went.
Fantastic video. I taught with the faculty of science - great people and great city! Can't wait to go back, so many new places. It was a beautiful city to call home for a semester and keeps getting better.
I was in Olomouc a month ago, I am fall in love this city and its atmosphere. I wish I knew about university to see the pendulum and the terrace. I hope to return soon there (too bad i'm a little too old to study, it would be really a lovely experience.)
Visited Olomouc after watching this, stayed at Long Story Short which was great and the pizza from Street Pizza was fantastic, we'll try to get to Bistro Paulus before we leave
Missing my Erasmus days in Pardubice... I had an ambition to visit as many places as possible in Czech lands: Pardubice, Prague, Kolin, Kutna Hora, Mlada Boleslav, Terezin, Olomouc, Ostrava, Cesky Tesin, Karvina, Cesky Krumlov, Ceska Trebova, Moravska Trebova, Hradec Kralove, Chrudim, Karlovy Vary, Plzen, Brno, Breclav, Snezka, Trutnov were the places where I spent time (either a couple of days or at least 4-5 hours). As a Turkish, I liked to explore Bohemia, Moravia and Silesianmoravia. I will never forget Ceske Drahy, RegioJet, Arriva and LeoExpress on those journeys...
After visiting Prague (and few more cities mentioned in the "old" version of Honest guide) these are my favorite episodes, hope to visit other cities in CZ.
Actually, the bartender at Vertigo is my former student (I used to teach him English) and back then I asked him to do an "Honest guide-like" videos as his seminar work 🙂. He covered Olomouc as well, if I am not mistaken. What a coincidence 😳☺.
Thank you! I hope to visit next year. Plan is to drive from Prague, stay 2 days in Telc then a day in Brno and 3 days in Olomouc. Looks like a great, beautiful, chilled out city.
I like Olomouc. My tour was in 2016. I sat in a beer bar, tasting some beers. Amazing then: a guy spoke to me in German when considering my German accent. He told me: it was a German speaking town until 1945. The child caring girl of him was German until she was dispelled in 1950, so he remembered some German. By the way: Bouzov Castle in the near is a trip worth!
It was a military base of austrian empire. German was enforced in it. All lieutenants and higher were living in there. Habsburgs kept their blood as moravian arcibishop in olomouc. City walls due to being fortress limited the center to state employees, whixh were german speakers due to 300 of persecution. After 1918, city walls were removed and the city was joined with nearby villages with czech population. This conservism is why so many old houses were preserved, and why they are quite highrise compared to other cities in the same period
It was a common practice to hire nanny from german family, so the kid naturaly learned secind language. It was the same for german minority living in todays czech republic.
Thanks so much for videos . We are travelling to Czech Republic in May from Australia. Hiring a car and travelling the countryside . we won't be doing Prague though.
I'm so happy you did a video on Olomouc!!! I went to the Czech summer school at Palacky University last year and LOVED it... my dorm building was right behind the science centre 😁
update: the holy trinity column is currently being restorated. apparently it will take around three years for it to be done and visible again (currently there is a bunch of scaffolding and plastic covers around it, maybe they will slowly reveal it as they make progress but who knows).
Welcome to our Sister City! I LOVE Olomouc! Olomouc has multiple Sister Cities, but my favorite connection is the connection between Olomouc and Owensboro, Kentucky. I have made numerous trips to Olomouc.
My girl went to school way back in the day there. And we passed through it on the way to Opava. Looks like a nice city! I'd like to stop by next time we are there
Thanks for an amazing video! :) I have traveled a lot around the whole Europe, but still I think that Olomouc, the town where I spent five lovely years when I was a student, is the most beautiful city in the world! :)
I live in Brno and ever only went to Olomouc, ironically, is for the go-karting place :D I basically grew up on the go-kart race and absolutely love it
I lived in Olomouc for a month during an IFMSA exchange program. I loved it. It was sweet, cute and cozy place full of sights and good destinations. It felt like home and I miss it sooo much.
Great video! I was there after TBEX in 2018 and stayed at the Theatre Hotel, which is both a fantastic property and restaurant. BTW I enjoyed hearing you guys speak at the conference.
My favorite city in Czechia, small old city, almost no tourists. My favorite restaurant is Drapal, and old fashioned Czech menu (svickova + beer, no veggies). For fun: "OLOMOUC SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL", this is my dream. See, I'm Polish, Czech language sounds like baby talk to me, I'm afraid I will laugh the whole "Macbeth". Should be fun 🤣🤣🤣
Olomouc’s annual International Organ Festival is of interest to the organ buffs! The city has several impressive pipe organs. The Church of St Maurice is home to one of the largest pipe organs in central Europe. It has over 10,000 pipes. The Cathedral of St Wenceslas has an imposing romantic organ built in 1886, preserved in its original state and of unusual tonal beauty. Most of its continental contemporaries have been destroyed, either by war or by insensitive modernisations. It retains that dark, full bodied sound typical of the late 1800's. Church attendance is clearly on decline, but organ recitals seem to attract increasingly larger and younger audiences. Maybe it's because of the instruments overwhelming character. It offers a spiritual experience without any preaching, a way to reset the mind.
I visited Olomouc in 1989......it was beautiful then.... but WOW! Well done! Can't wait for another visit ! Czechs are very friendly & fun!....👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻...ps...I am from Hollywood, CA....🤓
14:20 In the RCO building, when you go to 17'th floor, there is actually a telescope from that window :D next time ask more ! (ok I was watching , and on the internet there is nothing about it, but i swear it is there, i was there a few times, when I was waiting for the bus or train )
I was in Olomouc years ago mainly for the Christmas markets, but I also went to the Nepalese restaurant because a friend recommended it to me 😄 And the Pevnost poznání reminds me of Techmania in Plzeň 😄
Awesome video. I hope you guys will cover Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava as well. The 3 capitals are well connected through train and would make an awesome multi-city trip.
I've been to Olomouc twice, and I love it! Can't wait to visit it more soon. The sights are amazing, the food is delicious and it is easy to manage and get around in the city. Plus the trains leading to the city are cheap and luxurious compared to other European countries. A definite recommendation to visit!
Hello. Would you like to share some informations about the transportation from Prague airport to Olomouc and the transportation in Olomouc? It would be really helpful.
@@fotinisismanidou sure, but it has been a while. I recall flying in once two years ago, and the trip from the airport and to Olomouc was less than ideal to be honest. Switching to busses or trains were not exactly an easy prospect when travelling there. I was lucky to mention where I was going to a fellow passenger on the plane, and that got picked up by a couple heading in the direction of Olomouc. So not really applicable. However on a regular day, travelling from Prague to Olomouc, it's quite easy. There are numerous trains going to and from the cities, and I found the trip quite nice. RegioJet was quite comfy, as I recall it. As for transportation in Olomouc, the city is either very walkable and also has a well built out tram network. I hope it helps!
In general, please tourists, whether you’re from the US China China or just here from Europe,I always recommend going off the more beaten track. In my experiences it has been a lot better experience overall. Like instead of Amsterdam go to Leeuwarden. Good day.
You guys are the best all your videos is very informative .I'm a filipina and my husband is from Praque .hope one day we can visit there to see how beautiful the Praque is .my husband come here in South Australia when he was 10 years old and because of you guys he is very excited to come in his home town one day ❤
a great view over the city from an university building does also exist in munich. you can get up onto the architecture builing in the technical university and they even have a small café up there. I love these kind of viewpoints
Me and my girl always go there for holidays to visit her family(we dont live in CZ) Yes, I can confirm, after being there for so many times, it is a really nice city, country side too. And I would recommend to visit Zoo there, its brilliant :)
I love Hradec Králové. My husband is from there. And I will love to know about new or old but not so known places to visit, when we go there from Brazil.
Thanks for the video. Olomouc is my wife's home town so we'll definitely try some of your recommendations next time which will also be my third visit 🙂
Once met a girl from Olomouc who was studying in Manchester, UK. Amazing part of my life, despite the language barrier ❤ Would love to visit one day 🇨🇿
Must visit place to eat is Karamba Pizza. For only 190 czk or about 7,5 eur you can get 1 plus 1 pizza free every day from 10.00 till 17.00. Pizza is really good and the deal seems incredible!
What big changes - the Olomouc I remember was still under soviet occupation and very different and quite honestly I think I preferred the old place. State dairy, bakery, brewery, hotel narodni dum, zmrzlina in a wafer shell. Tuzek. No pizza, burgers and the homogenised food. It was proper Czech fare in those days, - dumplings, soups, pork, buchty, rohlik, chleb. Great days long gone.
Looking forward to visiting both Olomouc and also Brno since, Prague aside, the Czech Republic remains a bit of a mystery in spite of all the culture and history that stems from the place. The thing is both cities are quite difficult to access from my location in Southern Europe, the only feasible option that I know of being flying to Prague or Vienna, both popular destinations with flights that tend to fill up quickly. Also, wife is an architect and she says both cities feature some very intriguing sites, hope I can make it soon! Thanks for the video.
I would recomend to fly to Vienna and then take the bus right from the airport to Brno or Olomouc, it’s cheap, fast and quite comfy, unlike the journey from Prague, which could sometimes be a bit.. how to say it 😬 fucking dreadful 😂
My grandparents owned or leased a racetrack for horses from about 1912 to 1926 in Olomouc. It was made into military barracks later allegedly. Would be nice to know if it still exists. I have never met my grandparents but heard wonderful stories about riding horses when my mother her sister and brother lived on the racetrack as children. When their mother died it was all sold and they moved to Prague as teenagers. Please let me know if it still exists and if so what purpose does it serve today. You indicated the motion of the pendulum counterclockwise but the pendulum moves as I expected it with the clock. Thanks, nice video. Did you hear the name of kvargle for the delicious little aged cheese ?
Svatovaclavske Brewery has great beer, but beware ordering the pork knuckle since it is by weight, and sometimes they only have large ones so you might end up paying 25 to 30 euros, which might be a great option if you are sharing.

This was a tough decision. It was this or watching a guy camp in a coyote den. I figured it had 2 or 3 endings. One the camp went fine, 2 he woke up and the pups think they have a big brother or 3 his face gets chewed off by momma coyote🤣. I'm friends with 2 people on social media that live in olomouc. Nice to see parts if their town
My mom comes from Olomouc, but my mom married her german husband, my dad, so we live near Collogne. I was the last time in Olomouc 30 Years ago...many things has changed and i see, that Olomouc is so beautiful...but first, i drive to prague from 4.-6. november 2022 and i hope to meet Janek and Honza, and eat an egg benedict ;)
@@kattrinalex1 Under 3h from Prague to Olomouc by train. Just do not miss the station, it is a quick stop. If you have family, there is a big zoo nearby Olomouc.
I'm happy you are featuring other places in Czech republic ( not only Prague) Thank you!
I live in Olomouc and I have to say that it's one of the best-looking cities in czech republic. Prague is also cool of course. And Olomouc contains lots of secret places as well as Prague.

Not only Mozart, but also Mahler. In fact, their houses are a 5 minute walk from each other. Sadly, Mahler reportedly hated Olomouc.
I visited my friends in Olomouc when they were Erasmus students few years ago and I absolutly adore this city

Thanks for the video. Olomouc is my wife's home town so we'll definitely try some of your recommendations next time which will also be my third visit 🙂
I am here and i love your channel
You really made me wanna go there!!! Really!!!
Now it’s on my list 👍👍😎😎
love or hate tvaruzky there is no in between ❤
Once met a girl from Olomouc who was studying in Manchester, UK. Amazing part of my life, despite the language barrier ❤
Would love to visit one day 🇨🇿
Tomorrow i will take the Train from Unicov and we will discovery Olomouc!!!! Thanks a lot!!!
Must visit place to eat is Karamba Pizza. For only 190 czk or about 7,5 eur you can get 1 plus 1 pizza free every day from 10.00 till 17.00. Pizza is really good and the deal seems incredible!
Finally olomouc 🥳😄
Thank you, this was very informative!
Moje Olomouc
What big changes - the Olomouc I remember was still under soviet occupation and very different and quite honestly I think I preferred the old place. State dairy, bakery, brewery, hotel narodni dum, zmrzlina in a wafer shell. Tuzek. No pizza, burgers and the homogenised food. It was proper Czech fare in those days, - dumplings, soups, pork, buchty, rohlik, chleb. Great days long gone.
We have a pendulum in Hollywood at the planetarium. It has a sand bottom, instead of a graph of lines, so you can actually see the rotation.
Looking forward to visiting both Olomouc and also Brno since, Prague aside, the Czech Republic remains a bit of a mystery in spite of all the culture and history that stems from the place. The thing is both cities are quite difficult to access from my location in Southern Europe, the only feasible option that I know of being flying to Prague or Vienna, both popular destinations with flights that tend to fill up quickly. Also, wife is an architect and she says both cities feature some very intriguing sites, hope I can make it soon! Thanks for the video.
I would recomend to fly to Vienna and then take the bus right from the airport to Brno or Olomouc, it’s cheap, fast and quite comfy, unlike the journey from Prague, which could sometimes be a bit.. how to say it 😬 fucking dreadful 😂
@@filipcundrle803 Thank you so much!
Wow, nice city :)
Really appreciate your work!!
My grandparents owned or leased a racetrack for horses from about 1912 to 1926 in Olomouc. It was made into military barracks later allegedly. Would be nice to know if it still exists. I have never met my grandparents but heard wonderful stories about riding horses when my mother her sister and brother lived on the racetrack as children. When their mother died it was all sold and they moved to Prague as teenagers. Please let me know if it still exists and if so what purpose does it serve today. You indicated the motion of the pendulum counterclockwise but the pendulum moves as I expected it with the clock. Thanks, nice video. Did you hear the name of kvargle for the delicious little aged cheese ?
I love how many beers you drink per video :D
Svatovaclavske Brewery has great beer, but beware ordering the pork knuckle since it is by weight, and sometimes they only have large ones so you might end up paying 25 to 30 euros, which might be a great option if you are sharing.
I have to reccomend Fishy Sushi restaurant. They do make very delicious sushi, sashimi and few more things.
Just went to Kathmandu restaurant. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is unmatched.
Vždycky, když slyším "chorible", mám tendenci říct, že to je špatně. Ale pak si vzpomenu, že to co mám naposlouchané, je přízvuk mých kolegů z Pittsburku.
Another great video.
You say you love Karting, have you been to CM Karting in Prague? What an amazing setup they have there.
Wow, what a view
Snyt happens, cheers!
I agree with your father. It look good i 4K. 75 inch preferable.
This was a tough decision. It was this or watching a guy camp in a coyote den. I figured it had 2 or 3 endings. One the camp went fine, 2 he woke up and the pups think they have a big brother or 3 his face gets chewed off by momma coyote🤣. I'm friends with 2 people on social media that live in olomouc. Nice to see parts if their town
My mom comes from Olomouc, but my mom married her german husband, my dad, so we live near Collogne. I was the last time in Olomouc 30 Years ago...many things has changed and i see, that Olomouc is so beautiful...but first, i drive to prague from 4.-6. november 2022 and i hope to meet Janek and Honza, and eat an egg benedict ;)
Drive? Use train, it makes trips better in here, your stsrt and end destination does not hsve to be tge same and traveling is resting.
@@Pyrochemik007 l write the wrong...i go by Train to prague...
@@kattrinalex1 Under 3h from Prague to Olomouc by train. Just do not miss the station, it is a quick stop. If you have family, there is a big zoo nearby Olomouc.
Jedna z mých českých učitelek je z Olomouce. Chci někdy navštívit.
Kikafe is the best coffe shop in Olomouc, btw.
