- Mírové náměstí (Main Square) — The heartbeat of Litoměřice: a wide, cafe-lined square framed by Renaissance and Baroque townhouses, the plague column and easy access to most sights. It’s the best place to people-watch and feel the town’s layered history without leaving your chair.
- Town Hall and Tower (Radnice) — The ornate town hall on the square and its lookout tower give you a compact history lesson plus one of the clearest panoramas over the red roofs and the river. Climb the tower for photos and orientation; it’s a small effort with a big payoff.
- Cathedral of St. Stephen (Katedrála sv. Štěpána) — One of the town’s visually dominant landmarks: a Gothic cathedral with notable interior details and a solemn, centuries-deep atmosphere. Great for architecture fans and anyone who likes quiet,

- Bishop’s Residence / Biskupský dvůr — The old episcopal complex that reminds you why Litoměřice was a bishop’s seat. Parts of the complex host exhibitions and the local museum, so you can see ecclesiastical architecture and regional artifacts in one stop.
- Pražská brána (Prague Gate) and city fortifications — Remnants of the medieval defensive ring that once protected the town. Walk the gate and nearby ramparts to get a feel for Litoměřice’s medieval footprint — it’s a tactile bit of history you can still touch and climb.
- Old Jewish Cemetery — A quietly powerful place reflecting an important chapter of the town’s multicultural past. The weathered matzevot and the setting tell stories you won’t find in guidebooks; visit respectfully and allow time to absorb it.
- Labe (Elbe) riverside & Smetana Park — The riverbank is where locals stroll, row, and sit in cafés during warm months. The promenade gives surprisingly different views of the town and is the practical spot for a relaxed walk, picnic or a short boat trip.
- Underground cellars and wine shops — Litoměřice sits on the edges of a real Czech wine region, and the old cellars under town buildings and small wine shops showcase that tradition. Book a cellar tour or pop into a vinotéka for local wines and a sense of regional taste.
- Regional gallery and small museums — Scattered in and around the historic center you’ll find compact galleries and specialty museums (regional history, art or occasional themed exhibits). They’re the best places to catch local artists, rotating shows and displays that explain everyday life in the region.
- Parks, viewpoints and hidden courtyards — Not a single landmark but a category worth hunting: small parks, bishop’s gardens, and tucked-away courtyards reveal quiet corners of Litoměřice life. Spend an hour wandering side streets — you’ll find unconventional viewpoints and photo ops that feel distinctly local.
