Třebíč
Explore
Until a few years ago, the bustling, mid-sized Moravian city of Třebíč rarely made it
onto travellers' itineraries. This changed in 2003, when Unesco placed the city's
nearly perfectly preserved former Jewish Quarter on its list of protected World Herit-
age Sites. While the quarter is small, it's unique in the Czech Republic and worth
searching out if you're coming this way. In addition, take in the impressive St Pro-
copius's Basilica, another Unesco site. Třebíč is best approached as a day trip from
Brno or Telč, though there are a couple of decent overnight options if you want to
stay. Don't miss a meal at the curiously named Coqpit, one of the best restaurants in
this part of the country.
