About Ostrava

Although some people may call Ostrava "black" due to its rich industrial history, as lifelong residents of the city, we can attest that it is a vibrant and colorful place to visit, especially in the autumn. With its art galleries, museums, beautiful parks, and lively cultural scene, there is always something to explore and discover here. And towering above it all is our industrial "castle" Dolní Vítkovice, a symbol of our past that continues to shape our city's unique character and the temperament of its people.
