Turning points of the history of Hradec Králové

Hradec Králové is celebrating a significant anniversary - 800 years since the city was first mentioned - and you have a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in its fascinating history. Join our guided tours that will take you through key moments from medieval beginnings to the present day.

On a journey through time, your guide will introduce you not only to the fate of important figures whose legacy has shaped the shape and soul of the city, but also to significant historical events and architectural milestones. You will learn about the stories of Queen Eliška Rejčka, the primate Martin Cejp, the playwright Václav Kliment Klicpera, the mayor František Ulrich and others.

The tour will take you to iconic landmarks such as the majestic White Tower, the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit and the exhibition building of the Museum of East Bohemia. We will also introduce you to the first written mention of the city, its prestige as a royal dowry town, the founding of the Bishopric of Hradec Králové and its development from a military fortress to an architectural heyday in the 20th century.

Join us on a walk through the city that has rightly earned the nickname Salon of the Republic.

The meeting of participants is under the White Tower.
