- Žižkovo náměstí (the main square) — The heart of the town: wide, arcaded houses, cafés, and a real sense of local life. Great for people-watching, photographing colourful façades, and catching weekend markets or festivals.
- Městská radnice (Town Hall) and tower — The handsome town hall anchors the square; if you can climb the tower you get a tidy panorama over the red roofs and the river. A short climb, big payoff for a compact town.
- Muzeum Vysočiny - Havlíčkův Brod branch — The regional museum that explains the town’s past, local crafts and archaeology. Small but well-curated: useful if you want the neighborhood’s story without slogging through a huge institution.
- Karel Havlíček Borovský memorials and related exhibits — The town of course carries the writer’s name; look for the statues,

- Karel Havlíček Borovský memorials and related exhibits — The town of course carries the writer’s name; look for the statues, plaques and small displays that tell the story of his life and his role in Czech culture. It’s a neat way to connect the place to 19th-century politics and letters.
- Parish church (historic town church) — The main historic church is worth a visit for its interior, old altars and the sense of continuity it gives the square. Quiet, cool inside on a hot day, and often overlooked by casual passers-by.
- Remnants of medieval town fortifications and bastions — You can still find parts of the old walls and defensive structures around the centre. They’re small-scale, but wandering them gives a good feel for how the town defended itself centuries ago.
- Historic Jewish cemetery — A quiet, atmospheric spot that speaks to the deeper, older layers of the town’s population. Gravestones and memorials here add a reflective counterpoint to the busy square.
- Městské divadlo (City Theatre) — The local theatre stages plays, concerts and community events; check what’s on while you’re in town — even a small production can be a fun, culturally rich evening out.
- Regional art gallery / small contemporary exhibitions — The town has a modest gallery space showing local and regional artists. It’s a good place to spot contemporary work you won’t see in guidebooks and to meet local artistic life.
- Sázava riverbank, parks and riverside walks — The river that runs through town creates pleasant green walks, picnic spots and cycle paths. Follow it for a relaxed hour away from the centre, and you’ll see how locals use the outdoors here.
