The impressive holdings of the
Archdiocesan Museum trace the history of Olomouc back 1000 years. The thoughtful
layout, with helpful English signage, takes you through the original Romanesque
foundations of Olomouc Castle, and highlights the cultural and artistic development
of the city during the Gothic and baroque periods.
Don't miss the magnificent Troyer Coach, definitely the stretch limo of the 18th
century. Spring for the 20Kč English-language audioguide to get more out of the visit.

ST WENCESLAS CATHEDRAL
(dóm sv Václava; Václavské náměstí; 8am-6pm)
Adjacent to the museum, this cathedral,
the seat of the Olomouc Archbishop, was originally a Romanesque basilica first con-
secrated way back in 1131. It was rebuilt several times before having a neo-Gothic
makeover in the 1880s. There's a
crypt
inside that you can enter.
EATING

MORITZ €€
microbrewery and restaurant is a firm local favourite. We reckon it's a combin-ation
of the terrific beers, good value food, and a praise-worthy 'no smoking' policy. In
summer, the beer garden's the only place to be. Advance booking a must.

NEPAL €
popular Irish pub, this Nepalese-Indian eatery is the place to go for something a little
different. The 100Kč buffet lunch is the best deal, but loyal patrons say the quality of
the food is better in the evening.
