With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Hradec Kralove, 18 miles away, has to offer. White Lady on the castle Jindrichuv Hradec, Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary and White Tower alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Locals are also likely to point you toward Pardubice, 19 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Plague Column of 1695. (But we’re also huge fans of Republic Square and Smetana Square.)
