Main Attractions in Hradec Králové
Do you know the most basic and famous landmarks and attractions of the city of Hradec Králové, which you can comfortably visit while staying at a hotel in Hradec Králové? Whether you’re staying in a hotel in the center of Hradec Králové or at our 3* guesthouse on the outskirts of the city, there are several must-see places:
1) Historical Tour of Hradec Králové
- City Hall
The City Hall in Hradec Králové is one of the most important historical symbols of the city, located at the Great Square, and it carries a rich history and many interesting features. From our 3* Černý Kůň guesthouse, you can comfortably reach it by trolleybus from the stop right in front of the hotel. It was originally built in the Gothic style in the 14th century and has undergone several reconstructions over time. One of the most significant renovations took place in the 19th century under architect Josef Mocker, who gave it a Renaissance form, which it still retains today.
Throughout its history, the city hall has served as the seat of the municipal authorities and city council meetings, as well as a venue for public events and celebrations. Over time, it has survived many events, including fires and wars. However, it was always restored and preserved as an important symbol of the city’s identity and history. Today, the city hall is open to the public, and you can explore its historic rooms and exhibitions documenting the city’s rich history. Around the Great Square, you'll also find many hotels and restaurants in Hradec Králové, but we recommend our cozy 3* Černý Kůň guesthouse, where you won’t be disturbed by the noisy tourist crowds at night.
- Bílá Věž (White Tower)
Standing at 72 meters, the White Tower is an important symbol of Hradec Králové and is frequently depicted on various city symbols, stamps, and souvenirs. It is considered one of the most prominent elements of the city’s skyline.
The stone White Tower in Hradec Králové was built in the 16th century as a defensive tower and guard post, becoming part of the city’s fortifications. It got its name "Bílá" (White) because of the white paint that once covered it. This paint was used to protect the tower from weathering and also made it visible from afar.
Today, the tower mainly serves as a tourist attraction and observation tower, offering panoramic views of the city and surrounding landscapes. On a clear day, you can even see our 3* Černý Kůň guesthouse from up there.
The White Tower houses a bell named "Augustin," the largest bell in Hradec Králové and the second largest in the Czech Republic. The bell, cast in 1518, is a historical treasure of the city. It not only served as a tool for announcing events and times but also as a symbol of the city's identity and unity. The "Augustin" bell remains a highly valued monument and an integral part of Hradec Králové's cultural heritage. Don’t worry, you won’t hear it ringing from our 3* Černý Kůň guesthouse.
