Latest Hradec Kralove hotel reviews
travelife Says: Just on the way to the old town, the new town is just so clean, maintained and gorgeous. There are mix of commercial blocks and butiks and supermarkets on both side and its been made a pedestrianized zone. It was in early January I was in Hradec Kralove, I wonder it must be...
travelife Says: On the way to the old town from rail station, you are likely to cross this iron-bridge if on foot. This is one of the most scenic spot in the city as you could see the rising spires beyound the riverside buildings. There is nicely maintained sidewalk on both side of the...
travelife Says: The oldest monument in the city is the Gothic 3-naved Holy Spirit Cathedral. It was built in the 14th century, only the western entrance frontage with an organ loft came into being in 1463. The old town square is domiated by this cathedral. There is no entry free but its...
travelife Says: The centre is surrounded by protected old colorful buildings like many other Czech cities. All the old buildings are functioning as govt. / municial offfices or commercial offices or even as residence. Just off the historic centre is an education instute bringing young...
Nicely Preserved Historic Town Square
travelife Says: Architecture of 19th and early 20th century is one of the main reasons why domestic as well as foreign visitors come to Hradec Králové. All of Czech Republic is really doin a great job maintaining its national heritage with regular painting, cleaning of the preserved...
globetrott Says: The plague-column is to be found still in the centre of any town-square in the Czech Republic.Thousands of people lost their lives in these plagues, a long time before remedies like penecilin was invented.Walk around the column in order to see the great sculptures of saints
globetrott Says: The old Townhall - the white building with the 2 towers on my picture - dates back to the 16th centrury and was rebuilt in Renaissance-style in 1850(Just 16 years before the famous battle of Koeniggraetz)Today the old townhall houses a great restaurant with a terrace on the...
Hradec Kralove Cafe: Still incredibly cheap prices
globetrott Says: Prices are still incredibly low in this part of Czechia. You simply have to look around a bit and choose a place where also the local people go.Mostly you will not find an english or German menu, but a nice and helpful staff and really low prices. Powidl-kolatsche is our...
Think it might be called Elvis...
eddieman Says: Think it might be called Elvis club...... though the name could equally be totally wrong. Somewhere only a couple of blocks away from the old town square, anyway. Open on a Sunday night, with the ubiquitous soldiers dancing away in uniform, frightening the girls off the...
eddieman Says: Pub underneath railway station.Where we went when the other pub closed. Lots of fruit machines, piped music from local radio station, nothing much happening, but open all night through (funny feeling at 7am, being in a pub while they are hoovering the carpet, dancing to...
travelife Says: Like all other medium sized Czech cities / towns, Hrdec Kralove has also good network of buses. I felt its rather a long walk from the rail station to the old town centre. Tho you may take the walk on the way to while coming back its just a good idea to take the bus to...
by train 2 hours from Prague to Hradec Kralove
globetrott Says: There is quite a fast train-connection from Prague to Hradec Kralove / Koeniggraetz.Some of the trains are direct, with some you have to change once or twice, but the total time for the train is always around 2 hours or a bit more.For departuretimes you may check this link...
The medieval well of Hradec Kralove
globetrott Says: You might easily oversee the lovely old town-well of Hradec Kralove, situated in the middle of Velke namesti / the town square.Just imagine the old medieval times, when everybody from town had to get all the water from that well and carry it in bottles and jugs to their...
globetrott Says: Have a look at the great back-entrance to the cathedral.I saw the gate that way, when I arrived the first evening of my stay, when the cathedral was locked already.During the day it will be open and you may enter freely and take your pics without restrictions. (...
A small church under the golden Tiara
globetrott Says: When you see the huge golden Tiara and the keys of St.Peter on top of St. Klemens church, you might get the impression that church has to be quite big.In fact it is just a tiny chapel with a few benches for maybe 80 persons and a lovely main-altar.Next to the entrance you...
An interesting well on Velke namesti
globetrott Says: Watch out for the lovely well on the main square of Hradec Kralove, opposite of the church of the Assumption of Holy Mary.All of the well is covered by great iron-works and on the very top you may see a great wind-rose, showing the blacksmith at work.
globetrott Says: This great house is on Velke namesti / the Main Square, next to the church of the assumption of Holy Mary.Just click on the picture in order to see the great roof with lovely ornaments.This building was restored by a bank ......how comes it is always THEM, who may afford...
travelife Says: Just around the old town, there is this brewery. Made me feel thirsty for another Czech beer. There are some places nearby to grab a local product.
travelife Says: Tesco is a Bristish supermarket chain have a very prominent presence in different cities of Czech republic. When coming out of the rail station you find it just crossing the square. Tesco usually have a fast food counter. But there are also other fas-food outlet around.
travelife Says: Around the corner at the old town square I found this WC. Very cheap and clean. Its just behind the cathedral.

Hradec Kralove: A Nice Bohemian City
In my last trip to Czech, I planned to make some side trips, though it would have as much as staying in Prague. I took a train to Hradec Kralove which is by the way, two hour to the north of Prague....
