Domazlice Travel Guide

 alectrevor Says:  This is a very attractive square , really a wide street with coloured buildings under czech state care of historical buildings. The short adjoining side streets are also picturesque. Plenty of shops and places to eat and drink. A feature of the square is the white round... 

 alectrevor Says:  On the way from Domazlice Mesto to town you pass the museum white tower, . 

 alectrevor Says:  It is 450 metre walk to town 

 alectrevor Says:  If it rains,i suppose it does, these arches of the shops would be a good place to be. 

 lotharlerch Says:  Only a few steps away from the upper end of the historical centre is the castle Chodsky Hrad. There are only a few of the original walls of it left, it was often rebuilt. The castle was the place where th Chod's Letters were kept safely throughout centuries. These letters... 

 lotharlerch Says:  This small town got in 19th century an absolutely oversized Town Hall in typical Austrian Historism style which was characteristic for the "ink castles", the administrative buildings of this period - in some way a demonstration of the power of the imperial government. It is... 

 lotharlerch Says:  There is not too much left of the fortifications of old Domažlice. Most remarkable is the Lower Town Gate (Dolna Brama) which was built around 1270.Between some houses you can find other remains. 

 lotharlerch Says:  The centre of Domažlice is the long and slightly inclined Market Square. At its lower end the Lower Town Gate (Dolni brama), in the middle opposite to each other the Leaning Tower and the Town Hall. All other houses are in baroque style and have arcades.

 lotharlerch Says:  Maybe you do not fully notice it at the first glance but after a few minutes on the main street/square you feel that the highest tower around is a bit strange or at least unusual. You might consider that it is the perfect white cylinder - a bit thicker than a Turkish minaret... 

 pknopf46 Says:  The St. Laurence Festival is like a county fair, arts/crafts show, music festival, and ethnic entertainment all wrapped up into one. Ethnic song and dance groups from around the Czech Republic participate. It's surprising what diversity there is among the regions of Czechia... 

 lotharlerch Says:  Quite surprising to find so many "ethnic" restaurants in such a small town. Within a few minutes I could spot one Greek, three Asian and one Italian restaurant. The Greek (right after entering the Centre through the Lower Port) looks quite upmarket, the menues outside were... 

 lotharlerch Says:  There is a narrow street going down from the church with the round leaning tower. And there I saw a blackboard announcing (in German, for the majority of the tourists here) "Heute Böhmische Ente" (Bohemian Duck today) and pointng to the restaurant just a few steps down this... 

 lotharlerch Says:  It was late afternoon when I saw this restaurant. I did not really feel hungry but a lentil soup announced outside at a blackboard attracted my attention. Since I wanted to have one more good beer before I had to leave the town at around 7 PM I entered. The place looks very... 

 lotharlerch Says:  Domažlice is easily reached by train from Prague via Plzen. And domestic Czech train tickets are really cheap. From the neighbouring Bavaria some interesting tickets are available. The best is - in particular on weekends - the Bayern-Ticket. This is a one-day pass valid on...
