Staré+Město

Staré Město is situated in the South of Moravia, about 1 km away from Uherské Hradiště. As you can see from its location on the map below it is easier for us to travel to Vienna or Bratislava than to our capital city Prague.



Schoolchildren usually visit our town in their history lessons to see how our ancestors lived and what remained from their bodies. They can watch all these things in our Museum of Great Moravia which exhibits remind us of its magnificent era of the 8th and 9th century.

However, they cannot miss a nearby standing construction of an uprising church which can be easily noticed from far away. Both museum and church will be a part of the main square and so represent an extraordinary connection of past, present and future.

The traces of the Great Moravian Empire can be found in local cemetery as well. Foundations of the oldest sanctuary in this area are placed under a small church which is still used for religious ceremonies.

Searching for more historical findings leads us to the remnants on the edge of the town. It is only a stone´s throw away from here to get to one of the most popular attractions - a lighthouse standing by the main road! Here you can go through activities related to environmental issues and take a close look at a ship or plane.

If you are eager to enjoy a boat trip, it is also possible. You can do it on Bata canal which flows on the opposite side of our town. During the journey you can taste typical food and drinks and be fascinated by beautiful landscape and nature scenery.



Sitting in the sun, you can also watch people whatever age passing through on their bikes and inline-skates on the cycle track along the canal.
