A Historic Walk

Travel through Time and Space

Let your guide carry you away to the pre-WWII era of communist Czechoslovakia and to the daily lives of Nymburk’s citizens, as portrayed in the novels of the famous Czech author, Bohumil Hrabal. You can still feel the atmosphere of those times as you walk around the cute little town. We’ll also mention beer as it is an indispensable part of the Czech culture and we’ll explain the importance of the local brewery in Nymburk. The tour ends on the romantic banks of the Labe (Elbe) River, a popular spot for local gatherings in the summer and the main energy-supplier for the whole town.
