With some great road 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 all that Jicin, 20 miles away, has to offer. Baroque Synagogue, Central Wallenstein’s Square and Church of St. Jacob the Greater alone justify the drive out here. Locals will also likely point you toward Pardubice, 25 miles away. If you only have time for one attraction here, make sure it’s Plague Column of 1695. (But we’re also huge fans of Republic Square and Smetana Square.)
