It is famous not only for its musical instruments manufacture but also it represents a centre of intellectual life, culture and education in Eastern Bohemia. In many ways, it contributed to the uplifting of the Czech nation and helped it to find its place in the international arena.

The National Theater has played a significant role in the development of Czech music, the country’s dramatic arts, and the Czech language.
Tips for Trips – Lužánky park
Lužánky, the oasis of peace in the middle of the city, right next to the city centre. The park may not be so big with its approximately 22 hectares but it is packed with activities.

Going for a pleasant walk and learning new things at the same time is possible in Pardubice through the Path of Vilém of Pernštejn.

High temperatures make most people seek relief in swimming pools, lakes, seas and rivers. But what about the people who can’t swim or those who get sunburnt easily, for example?

It’s nice, dark and cool there – perfect places to visit during hot summers when the city feels like a frying pan.

Tip for Trips: Boating on Czech Rivers
We Czechs may not have a sea but that doesn’t mean that we don’t like boating. I personally went boating on Vltava but I am also going to give you some general tips for boating.
