Things to see and do Pardubice

Pernštýnské Náměstí, the second square in the historic centre, is one of the most beautiful in the country. Surrounded by beautiful Renaissance mansions, it is narrow, long and almost enclosed. Dominated by the beautiful neo-Renaissance town hall, it is easily recognizable by its two towers and its walls richly decorated with sgraffiti. Admire the contrast of this enormous building with the small blue-green house on its right. The other remarkable facade is that of Jonas' house: it dates from the 18th century and its whiteness is exceptional.

Náměstí Republiky Square is the largest in the city. It is accessed from Míru Avenue, the main axis of the new town. Beautiful buildings surround it. The Municipal Theatre is immediately noticeable on the south side of the square. It is the most beautiful Art Nouveau building in the city with its frescoes and coloured stained glass windows, which frequently hosts concerts. At the other end of the square, the Saint-Barthélemy church, very elegant with its very thin tower. It dates from the 13th century, but was damaged by the Hussites and rebuilt in 1515.
