Olomouc, Czech Republic
Why Walk Olomouc
Olomouc's Holy Trinity Column, a 35-meter baroque monument completed in 1754, is the largest group of baroque statues in Central Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city, home to the Czech Republic's second-oldest university, has a wealth of baroque churches and fountains that rivals Prague but without the crowds. Six baroque fountains depicting classical and historical themes dot the old town squares.
