- Náměstí Zachariáše z Hradce (Main Square) — That perfect rectangular square with the long pond in the middle is literally why people come to Telč: arcaded, pastel-coloured Renaissance and Baroque facades, easy photo spots and a real sense of a living medieval town rather than a museum set.
- Zámek Telč (Telč Chateau) — A compact Renaissance chateau built into the town fabric; the interiors and period rooms are worth a guided look, and the building tells the story of the Hradec family’s influence on the town’s style.
- Chateau park and island — The green lungs around the chateau: English-style parkland, small bridges and island views across the moat and ponds — a relaxed place to walk, picnic and imagine the town before motorcars.
- Renaissance and Baroque burgher houses — Those painted sgraffito

- Renaissance and Baroque burgher houses — Those painted sgraffito facades, decorated gables and arcades lining the square are Telč’s signature. Walk slowly, look up, and you’ll spot period details, carved doorways and odd inscriptions that photographers love.
- Town Hall (Radnice) — Occupying a prominent spot on the square, the town hall’s exterior and public rooms speak to Telč’s civic history; check opening times for any temporary exhibits or to poke into the old council rooms.
- Church of St. James (Kostel sv. Jakuba) — The Gothic parish church near the square anchors the spiritual history of the town: interesting architecture, period altarpieces and a peaceful churchyard—good for a quieter stop away from the crowds.
- Surviving town fortifications and gate-towers — Telč still shows parts of its medieval defensive ring: walk the streets to find preserved stretches of walls and a few gate towers that give a sense of the town’s medieval layout and strategic thinking.
- Telč municipal museum / local history displays — Small but focused: local artifacts, maps, folk costumes and displays that explain how Telč evolved from a market town to a Renaissance showcase. Helpful if you want context for what you’ve just seen on the square.
- Ponds and waterfront promenades — Beyond the main square pond there are linked water features and quiet banks for a stroll or golden-hour photos; the reflections of the façades at dusk are unforgettable if the light cooperates.
- Hidden courtyards, galleries and artisan shops — Walk the side streets and you’ll find tiny galleries, ceramists, antique shops and cafés tucked into courtyards. They’re not headline attractions, but they’re where you feel the town’s everyday character and meet locals.
