Ostrava, one of the most populous cities of the Czech Republic, is also one of the most interesting destinations in the country. It is a place where traditions, culture and contemporary lifestyles intertwine harmoniously, a destination for all ages. It has stunning landmarks, great cuisine, and exciting activities for the entire family. The city was a candidate for the European Capital of Culture 2015, but lost to another Czech pearl, Plzeň, which will share its title with the Belgian city of Mons.

The most stunning feature of Ostrava is the Vítkovice mining area, which opens up right at the heart of the city, with a spectacular labyrinth of iron towers, pipes and conduits that reminds of a sci fi blockbuster.
