★ UNESCO World Heritage · Holy Trinity Column

Trip to Olomouc with your private driver

Olomouc has the atmosphere of a student city and the dignity of a centuries-old ecclesiastical metropolis. The Baroque Holy Trinity Column on the main square is a UNESCO site, the astronomical clock chimes in its own way, and you won't find such a collection of fountains anywhere else. From Prague, your driver will take you there in one ride.

Why this place

Olomouc: a city where history breathes from every corner

Olomouc was once the capital of Moravia, and it still shows. The historic center is the second largest in the country after Prague, and you can walk through it from one square to another.

In the middle of the Upper Square stands the thirty-five-meter-high Holy Trinity Column, listed as a UNESCO site since 2000. A bit further away, the astronomical clock chimes, six Baroque fountains splash across the squares, and the towers of St. Wenceslas Cathedral rise above the city.

From Prague, it is about 277 kilometers by car, and the journey takes around three hours. With your private driver, you travel directly — they pick you up at home or at the airport and bring you back in the evening.
