- Náchod Castle (Hrad Náchod) — Dominant on a sandstone outcrop above the town, the castle gives you real castle vibes: historic rooms, an armoury display, lookout terraces and easy-to-follow tours. The view over the roofs and the Metuje valley is worth the short climb alone.
- Masarykovo náměstí (the town square) — The lively heart of Náchod with arcade-fronted houses, cafés and the town hall; ideal for people-watching, a coffee stop and getting a feel for everyday local life.
- Church of St. Lawrence (Kostel sv. Vavřince) — A long-standing parish church with interesting interior details and a quiet churchyard; it anchors the historic centre and shows layers of the town’s religious history.

- Primátor Brewery (Pivovar Náchod) — The home of Primátor beers; you can do a brewery tour, learn the basics of Czech brewing and sample fresh taps in the brewery pub. Practical and tasty way to connect with local industry.
- Náchod Synagogue and Jewish Cemetery — The restored synagogue is used for cultural events and exhibitions, and the nearby cemetery’s weathered stones tell a tangible story of the town’s Jewish community through centuries.
- Městské muzeum Náchod (Town Museum) — Compact but well-curated: local history displays, period interiors and rotating exhibits that explain how Náchod evolved; good if you want context beyond the postcards.
- Josef Škvorecký memorial / birthplace — A modest but meaningful stop for fans of the writer born here; expect a plaque and small exhibits or references in the town museum about his life and work.
- Zámecký park and riverside promenades — The park below the castle and paths along the Metuje are perfect for relaxed walks, shady benches and watching the town from a quieter angle.
- Remains of the town fortifications and bastions — You can still trace parts of Náchod’s medieval defences; the bastions and wall fragments give a hands-on sense of the town’s strategic past and offer nice short walking routes.
- Náchod Theatre and local cultural venues — The town punches above its weight culturally: the municipal theatre and nearby halls run plays, concerts and festivals—great for an evening plan if something’s on.
