Ostrava and Lower Vítkovice
Ostrava's coal and steel history remains visible at Lower Vítkovice. This northeastern city is a strong choice for industrial architecture rather than a conventional old-town visit.
Why go
Lower Vítkovice gathers former coal-mining, coke-production and ironworks structures in one place. The complex makes Ostrava's industrial rise tangible even after the city's economy changed. Its location across the historic Moravian and Silesian border adds another way to understand this corner of the Czech Republic.
