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.

I'm happy you are featuring other places in Czech republic ( not only Prague) Thank you!

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.

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.

I visited my friends in Olomouc when they were Erasmus students few years ago and I absolutly adore this city <3 if you have an opportunity to choose Olomouc for Erasmus, you will not regret it ^_^

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.

I lived in Olomouc just over a year, it is was one of the most underrated cities in CZ. I love and miss that city tremendously.

First half of video: detailed explanations even covering the earth's rotation
5 beers later: "this was a big experience"

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

[ClaytonRyan]

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!

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.

[Multipack]

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 😳☺.

Thanks for visiting our Sister City! I have lost count of the number of times I have visited Olomouc. It is where I first fell in love with the Czech Republic. It is an awesome city. Its best attribute is her people!

[Tongkat_Ali]

Díky moc, Janku a Honzo! Been waiting for this video. Hodně štěstí!

[marksimons]

I was last in Olomouc in 1990 and at that time, times were a-changing. Looks as good now as I expected then.

[tony]

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!

[YouNeverKnow_cnt]

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...

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.)

[mtsvec]

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.
