There are ordinary cities and there are cities that look like they are an illustration from a book of fairytales. I’m talking about Telč – a UNESCO-protected little town in the southern Moravia region of the Czech Republic. It is a visual delight and an extremely interesting day trip from either Brno or Prague.

Let me share with you 5 great reasons to visit Telč!

1. Colorful gingerbread houses

Rows of picturesque Baroque-Renaissance houses dot the main square. They are the trademark of Telč and truly beautiful architecture to see.

2. The Castle

A beautiful historic city can’t be full without having an imposing castle, right? Telč doesn’t disappoint in this regard. The Castle here is a masterpiece of Baroque and an amazing landmark to explore.

3. The views

For the best views:

• stand in the middle of the Main Square
• go to the little bridge across the pond for the waterside panorama, an exact location is HERE
• climb the St James’s Church tower

4. The underground

Under the square is a labyrinth of underground passages developed here from the medieval times. Intriguing? Definitely so!
