Uničov, one of the oldest royal towns in the Czech lands, is located in the fertile Haná plain. Its historic centre is dominated by Masaryk Square, where the Renaissance Town Hall with its astronomical clock tower and the impressive Marian Column stand as symbols of civic pride and faith. The town was once an important economic and cultural hub, its heritage visible in the Gothic Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and the remnants of the town fortifications. Visitors can explore the unique museum in the former prison, offering a glimpse into local judicial history. The town is an excellent starting point for exploring the Olomouc region. It is well-connected by transport and easily accessible by train or bus from Olomouc. The best time to visit is from spring to autumn, when the weather is pleasant and various cultural events take place. Gastronomically, Uničov is part of the Haná region, known for its hearty cuisine. Try local specialities like the Olomoucké tvarůžky, a unique ripened cheese, in one of the town's cosy restaurants.
