- Marek_ZGZielona Gora, Poland1,548 contributionsThe Old Town of Olomouc is full of amazing sights such as fountains, picturesque buildings, pillars and columns. Out of the latter, Holy Trinity Column stands out.

Built on top of a hill overlooking the valley and Olomouc you can look back and see the pilgrim road. The church is more a cathedral in size and beauty. Well worth a visit.Written August 29, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- bamleyCroydon, UK40 contributionsWe got a cab here, about 25 minutes drive from Olomouc. We visited with another couple. We had an interesting tour of the castle. As we are English we were given guide booklets describing the different areas of the castle as the guide was only able to narrate in her own tongue. The guide booklet was good but it was frustrating when the guide couldn't answer questions...Written July 18, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Avar88Ilava, Slovakia21 contributionsA beautifull cathedral that is poetic and inspiring. I loved photos that were taken when there was still corona, they hung them inside - the photos show people believing in it getting better and wanting to feel closer to god even though it was difficult-. The cathedral is a beautiful place and an old mister that was so generous to show us this place, explained the history of this place. Beautiful visit.Written August 20, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Martin NagyBratislava, Slovakia2 contributionsThis zoo offered a charming, old-world feel for our family visit. While some areas could use an update, it didn't detract from our fun. There were always interesting animals to discover, even if a few were shy and hiding.
The highlight for everyone was the surprise safari train ride! It took us right through the wolf enclosure for a truly unique experience. The kids especially loved getting up close to the animals in some of the exhibits (no, not the wolves :) ) and the giant rope playground was a big hit too.
There were a couple of exhibits with stronger smells (like the bats and suricatas), which might be sensitive for younger visitors, but overall, it was a minor thing.
Overall, a great choice for families. The Olomouc Zoo offers a different kind of charm and some exciting features like the safari train. We'd recommend it for a fun and affordable day out.Written April 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- BVadGPrague, Czech Republic120 contributionsIn love with this place. What a beautiful spot for a romantic walk in spring. It's full of flowers and different kinds of trees and plants. I'd really recommend anyone to visit and spend a couple of hours walking around and enjoying the atmosphere. It's not crowded (at least not when we were there) and the sound of the stream makes it even more enjoyable.Written May 10, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zaneta12345Swindon, UK51 contributionsThe most beautiful caves we ever seen, amazing and worth of visit. Olomouc is only half and hour drive.

- WaterloonieSanta Barbara, CA1,627 contributionsDominating the upper town square, this building has been spectacularly renovated. It has been well worth the wait.
Beautiful architecture and so important historically.Written June 28, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Archbishop of Olomouc was a major political player in European history and this museum really allows you to understand the roots of his power. The volunteer ladies appear somewhat stern but are actually very friendly and willing to help although they do not all speak English.Written November 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Frantisek RuzhaPrague, Czech Republic511 contributionsSt. Moritz is the most sympathetic church in Olomouc. On the one hand with its simple exterior, on the other hand with its viewing platform at the top. Inside is the organ of the best sound in the whole Czech Republic. Come to Mass and listen to this organ.Written September 24, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
