The Center of Znojmo : A Self-Guided Audio Tour

Overview

Znojmo is a royal Moravian town filled with medieval charm. Renaissance palaces and Gothic churches dot the skyline, and one of Central Europe’s largest catacombs lies far beneath its surface. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll trace the town’s evolution and hear how it’s retained its distinctive character through the centuries. Starting in front of the iconic Town Hall tower, you’ll stroll along cobblestone streets and down Joyful Street – part of the Jewish Quarter. You’ll see Znojmo Castle, where centuries of Czech kings and Habsburg emperors conducted diplomatic negotiations, and the Gothic St Nicholas Deanery Church, where the body of Emperor Sigismund was displayed in 1437. By the time the tour ends, you’ll have learnt how diverse cultural influences shaped this strategic border town between Moravia and Austria. This tour offers an intimate look at a less-visited Czech gem where layers of history are preserved in stone, and local traditions continue to flourish.
