- Litomyšl Castle (Zámek Litomyšl) — A UNESCO site for a reason: huge Renaissance façade covered in sgraffito, richly furnished interiors and a relaxed castle courtyard. You can wander the rooms, stroll the grounds and really feel the layers of history here.
- Castle Theatre (Zámecké divadlo) — An 18th-century stage preserved with original machinery and painted scenery. Seeing a performance or taking a guided behind-the-scenes tour is a rare chance to experience a working historic theatre.
- Smetana’s Birthplace (Dům Bedřicha Smetany) — Small, focused museum in the composer’s actual birth house. Good for music lovers: exhibits, period rooms and a sense of how Smetana’s world grew out of this town.
- Smetana Square (Smetanovo náměstí) — The town’s lively heart: arcade-lined Renaissance and Baroque

- Smetana Square (Smetanovo náměstí) — The town’s lively heart: arcade-lined Renaissance and Baroque façades, cafés and street life. Great for people-watching and appreciating the town’s painted house fronts up close.
- Portmoneum — A tiny, eccentric house-museum with richly painted interiors by Josef Váchal (and collected graphic art). It’s unlike a standard gallery — intimate, quirky and worth a quick, memorable detour.
- Piarist Church and Monastery — Attractive Baroque church with fine interior decoration; the monastery complex often hosts concerts and exhibitions, so check the program if you like music or architecture.
- Litomyšl Brewery (Měšťanský pivovar) — Historic town brewery where you can learn a bit about local brewing traditions and, yes, taste some Czech beer. Small, local and a good slice of everyday culture.
- Zámecký park (Castle Park) — The castle’s English-style park: walking paths, old trees, sculptures and quiet spots. Perfect for a relaxed afternoon, picnic or watching the sunset over the castle.
- Renaissance and Baroque house façades around town — Not a single building but a cluster of richly decorated houses (sgraffito, frescoes, arcades) that give Litomyšl its unmistakable character; walk the back streets to catch the best details.
- Smetanova Litomyšl (seasonal music festival) — If you time it right, the town pulses with international opera, concerts and cultural events centered around Smetana’s legacy. Experiencing the festival at the castle courtyard is special — otherwise you’ll still find occasional concerts year-round.
