Lysá nad Labem, a town in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic, is picturesquely situated on the banks of the Elbe River. The town is most famous for its magnificent Baroque chateau, closely associated with Count Franz Anton von Sporck, a major patron of the arts in the 18th century. The chateau, along with its extensive park adorned with sculptures by the renowned Matthias Braun, forms the cultural heart of the town. It stands as an outstanding example of Bohemian Baroque architecture and landscape design. In addition to its historical heritage, Lysá nad Labem is also a modern hub for events. Its exhibition grounds (Výstaviště Lysá nad Labem) are one of the largest in the country, attracting numerous visitors throughout the year with a variety of exhibitions, fairs, and events on topics such as horse breeding, gardening, and housing. The town has a long tradition of horse breeding, which is reflected in some of the events. The local gastronomy features traditional Czech cuisine, which can be enjoyed in local restaurants, often accompanied by excellent Czech beer. The town's strategic location, just about 30 kilometers northeast of Prague, makes it a convenient destination for a day trip from the capital. There are regular and fast train connections, making it easily accessible. The best time to visit is from spring to autumn, when the weather is pleasant, and both the chateau gardens and the Elbe riverbanks are inviting for walks and cycling.
