Backpacking in Uherské Hradiště
👌 Worth visitingtown ranked #16
By Johan Kruseman 🇳🇱 | Updated October 16, 2026

Most summaries skip this, but Uherské Hradiště is one of the few Czech towns where wine culture, folk traditions, and river life all intersect in a way you actually feel as a backpacker. It sits in southeast Czechia, in Moravia near the Slovak border. The compact center is easy to walk, trains and buses are frequent, and evenings are more wine-cellar quiet than bar-crawl loud, so it’s better as a mellow base for exploring Moravian Slovakia’s villages, bike paths, and festivals than as a big-night-out stop like Brno or Olomouc. You’ll find pensions and simple guesthouses instead of classic hostels, which makes it cheaper and very safe, but also less social unless you lean into cafés and local wine bars.

💡 HighlightsPlaces and moments you shouldn't skip

  1. Masarykovo náměstí (Main Square) — The town’s living room: arcade-fronted buildings, cafés, and markets. You’ll get the clearest sense of Uherské Hradiště’s rhythm here — architecture, people-watching, and street life all in one stroll.
  2. Žerotínův palác (Žerotín Palace) — A striking historical building on the square that now hosts cultural exhibits and events. It’s an easy place to feel the town’s layers of history without needing a long museum visit.
  3. Slovácké muzeum — The regional museum focused on Moravian Slovakia’s folk culture: costumes, crafts, and local history. Good for getting why the area’s traditions still matter to locals.
  4. Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie (Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary) — The main parish church with a strong presence on the town skyline. Whether

  4. Kostel Nanebevzetí Panny Marie (Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary) — The main parish church with a strong presence on the town skyline. Whether you pop in for the interior, the art, or the calm, it anchors the historic centre.
  5. Františkánský klášter a kostel (Franciscan Monastery and Church) — A quieter spot for architecture and atmosphere: cloistered corners, occasional concerts or exhibitions, and a break from the square’s bustle.
  6. Radnice (Town Hall) and the arcaded houses — The town hall and surrounding arcades are great for architecture buffs and for climbing or peeking into small civic spaces — cafés and shops under arcades make this an easy, local-feeling stop.
  7. Olšava riverbank and promenades — Short walks along the Olšava give a different perspective: parks, river views, and local life (joggers, families, dogs). Perfect for a slow hour away from tourist points.
  8. Městské divadlo / local theatre — Catching a play or a concert here is one of the best ways to experience contemporary local culture — smaller, authentic productions and an evening audience that’s mostly from the town.
  9. Local galleries and exhibition spaces — Small galleries (often tied to the museum or the palace) rotate regional art and craft shows — great if you like discovering local artists and craft traditions without the tourist gloss.
  10. City parks and “sady” (public gardens) — The town’s green pockets are where locals relax: benches, playgrounds, and seasonal events. They’re low-effort, very visitable, and give a sense of everyday life in Uherské Hradiště.
For day trips a short drive or train ride will take you to the Great Moravian archaeological site at Mikulčice, Buchlov Castle and the nearby Buchlovice Chateau, and the open-air Slovácké museum in Modrá — my personal favorite for a half-day is Mikulčice (the early medieval ruins and museum give a fascinating, tangible window into the region’s deep past).
