About Horní náměstí a radnice
The Upper Square, Horní náměstí, is a reference point to begin the walk in Olomouc. The town hall occupies the central space, with a tower and an astronomical clock. The surrounding façades and fountains help perceive the urban character of the ensemble, in an area mainly visited on foot.
The town hall brings together elements from different periods and allows observers to see the link between administration and the city's everyday life. The clock has its own language, distinct from Prague's. The classically inspired fountains scattered throughout the old town can be seen on the same walk, without relying on a scheduled presentation.
Circle the town hall before continuing to the center's streets. If you plan to climb the tower or enter interior spaces, confirm the specific visit. The square visit pairs well with the cathedral in another sector of the historic core, preserving time for the streets between the two areas.
