About Náměstí Přemysla Otakara II.
The Přemysl Otakar II square organizes the center of České Budějovice. The regularly designed space is surrounded by houses with arcades and has the Samson Fountain as a reference. It is a starting point to understand the city's layout and then continue along the streets and riverbanks.
The baroque town hall occupies one side of the square, with towers and façade decoration that contrast with the neighboring houses. The arcades preserve the continuity of the blocks and allow observation of the different fronts of the buildings. The central fountain belongs to the same walk, without requiring a separate transfer.
Make a circuit around the perimeter before crossing the central space. The scale of the square becomes more evident when observed from the corners and the arcades. The walk pairs with the Black Tower, located a short distance away, and functions both as an introduction to the city and as a stop between transfers across South Bohemia.
