Why Upper Square Olomouc matters
The square is framed by pastel buildings and a town hall with an unusual astronomical clock. Several baroque fountains stand around. Cafes spill onto the pavement in summer. Take a slow loop around the square to spot all the fountains, then sit down and enjoy the view.
Talking points
- The town hall clock was redone in the socialist era in a distinct style.
- Six baroque fountains are scattered around the old core.
- It is a nice place to sit with a coffee.
