What to See and Do in Olomouc
The ring of parks that grew up when most
of the city walls were demolished separates the old town from the
new. A branch of the Morava River runs through Bezruč
Park (Bezručovy
Sady) and there are several defensive towers remaining from the
old city walls, two of which you can climb. The botanical
gardens are within the parks, and the greenhouses
have aquarium exhibits from the nearby zoo.
The well-respected Olomouc
zoo is on a hillside overlooking the city and actively participates
in the protection of more than 50 endangered species.
