Just keep in mind that accommodation will be pricier and fills up fast \u2014 book well in advance.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Off-season<\/strong> (October\u2013April) brings a noticeably quieter T\u00e1bor, which has its own charm \u2014 the atmosphere of medieval lanes in the mist is magical. However, many attractions are closed or have limited hours (Kotnov, the church tower, Hous\u016fv Ml\u00fdn). Fortunately, the underground tunnels and the Hussite Museum operate year-round, so a weekend trip is perfectly doable even in winter. Just be prepared to spend more time indoors. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tabor-co-videt-3.jpg\" alt=\"Streets of T\u00e1bor, Czech Republic\" class=\"wp-image-132729\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tabor-co-videt-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tabor-co-videt-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tabor-co-videt-3-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tabor-co-videt-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/tabor-co-videt-3-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_Tabor\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Get_to_Tabor\"><\/span>How to Get to T\u00e1bor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>By train from Prague<\/strong> is the most comfortable option. The journey takes approximately <strong>1 hour<\/strong>, with around 18 connections daily. If you buy your ticket in advance through the Czech Railways app, you&#8217;ll pay <strong>from about \u20ac3.50<\/strong>. On the day of travel, expect to pay around <strong>\u20ac12.50<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By car<\/strong>, it&#8217;s about <strong>90 km from Prague via the D3 motorway<\/strong> \u2014 just over an hour depending on traffic. Parking in the centre is a bit tricky (a medieval labyrinth of streets isn&#8217;t exactly car-friendly \ud83d\ude05). Your best bet is to park <strong>at the Ice Stadium<\/strong> or use the <strong>P+R lot behind the train station<\/strong>, from where it&#8217;s a short walk or bus ride to the centre.<\/p>\n<p>One thing to keep in mind: <strong>the train station is 1.5 km from the historic centre<\/strong> (about a 20-minute walk). If you&#8217;d rather not walk, you can take <strong>bus 61<\/strong>, which goes directly to \u017di\u017eka Square, or <strong>minibuses 60\/61<\/strong> into the old town.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re visiting the Czech Republic from the UK, the easiest way is to fly into Prague and then take the train south. Several airlines operate direct flights from London, Manchester, Edinburgh, and other UK cities to Prague.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_to_Spend_in_Tabor\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Long_to_Spend_in_Tabor\"><\/span>How Long to Spend in T\u00e1bor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For the main sights in the centre (the square, the underground, Kotnov, the museum), <strong>3\u20134 hours<\/strong> will do.

And that&#8217;s the beauty of it: you don&#8217;t need to rush, just let yourself be carried through the medieval lanes that will naturally lead you to the next amazing spot. Let&#8217;s look at 14 tips for what to see in T\u00e1bor itself \u2014 from the iconic \u017di\u017eka Square and mysterious underground to a botanical garden that&#8217;s the second oldest in Czechia. Many of these places cost just a few euros, some are completely free, and all of them are absolutely worth it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Zizka_Square_%E2%80%94_the_Heart_of_the_Hussite_Town\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Zizka_Square_the_Heart_of_the_Hussite_Town\"><\/span>1. \u017di\u017eka Square \u2014 the Heart of the Hussite Town<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Every visit to T\u00e1bor starts and ends here. \u017di\u017ekovo n\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed (\u017di\u017eka Square) is one of the most beautiful Renaissance squares in South Bohemia \u2014 and in my opinion, in all of Czechia. When you step onto it for the first time, you&#8217;ll just stand there looking around, because there are so many sgraffito facades, arcaded gables, and pastel-coloured houses that it&#8217;s impossible to take in all at once.<\/p>\n<p>In the centre of the square stands a Renaissance <strong>fountain with a statue of the knight Roland<\/strong> from 1567 \u2014 one of the oldest stone fountains in Bohemia. Nearby you&#8217;ll find the <strong>Jan \u017di\u017eka monument<\/strong> from 1884. The square is lined with caf\u00e9s, restaurants, and small shops, so you can easily spend a long time here, even if you&#8217;re &#8220;just&#8221; sitting with a coffee and soaking up the atmosphere.<\/p>\n<p>The square is dominated by the imposing <strong>Dean&#8217;s Church of the Transfiguration of Christ<\/strong>, whose observation tower I&#8217;ll tell you about later. \u017di\u017eka Square is freely accessible at all times and serves as a natural starting point for all explorations of the town. If you only have time for one thing in T\u00e1bor, make it a walk here.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/zizkovo-namesti-2.jpg\" alt=\"Renaissance houses on \u017di\u017eka Square in T\u00e1bor\" class=\"wp-image-132741\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/zizkovo-namesti-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/zizkovo-namesti-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/zizkovo-namesti-2-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/zizkovo-namesti-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/zizkovo-namesti-2-696x464.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\"><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Kotnov_Tower_and_Bechyne_Gate_%E2%80%94_Panoramic_Views\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Kotnov_Tower_and_Bechyne_Gate_Panoramic_Views\"><\/span>2.

The tower is a remnant of the original castle around which T\u00e1bor grew, and its silhouette is one of the most photographed motifs in town.<\/p>\n<p>You can climb the Kotnov Tower via <strong>155 steps<\/strong> to a height of 25 metres. From up there you have the entire town at your feet \u2014 the rooftops of the old town, the surface of Jord\u00e1n lake, the surrounding hills. Admission is a laughable <strong>\u20ac1<\/strong>, making it possibly the best investment of your day. \ud83d\ude01<\/p>\n<p>Right next to the tower stands the <strong>Bechyn\u011b Gate<\/strong>, the only surviving entrance to the medieval town. Inside you&#8217;ll find an exhibition called &#8220;T\u00e1bor, Fortress of the Just&#8221; about the Hussite history of the town, and you can admire the <strong>T\u00e1bor Treasure<\/strong> \u2014 a hoard of approximately 4,000 silver coins that is truly impressive. Admission to the gate is about <strong>\u20ac1.60<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> Both monuments are open <strong>May\u2013September only, Tuesday\u2013Sunday, 10:00\u201317:00<\/strong>.

Beneath the historic centre stretches a <strong>network of underground tunnels from the 15th century<\/strong>, reaching depths of up to 16 metres across three levels. They originally served as cellars, but also as escape routes and shelters during sieges.<\/p>\n<p>The tour route is approximately <strong>500\u2013800 metres long<\/strong>, and the entrance is right from the Town Hall on \u017di\u017eka Square, so you can&#8217;t miss it. The tunnels are narrow, in places you have to duck, and the atmosphere is \u2014 I must admit \u2014 a bit eerie. In the best possible way.<\/p>\n<p>Admission is <strong>about \u20ac2.50 for adults<\/strong> and <strong>\u20ac1.60 reduced<\/strong>. Unlike most historic attractions in T\u00e1bor, the underground is <strong>open year-round<\/strong> (in winter with limited hours), making it an excellent choice for an off-season visit too.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>TIP:<\/strong> Bring a jacket or jumper, even when it&#8217;s 30\u00b0C outside. The underground maintains a constant temperature of around 10\u201312\u00b0C, and after fifteen minutes you&#8217;ll feel it. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I went in summer wearing T-shirts and regretted it. \ud83d\ude05<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Haunted_Underground_%E2%80%94_for_the_Brave_and_Kids\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Haunted_Underground_for_the_Brave_and_Kids\"><\/span>4.

The Haunted Underground is located in a <strong>500-year-old house behind the church<\/strong> and is more of a fun interactive tour than a historical exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>In the underground chambers you&#8217;ll encounter figures of an alchemist, vampire families, white ladies, executioners, and mummies. It might sound cheesy, but it&#8217;s surprisingly well done \u2014 and kids absolutely love it. Admission is <strong>about \u20ac2 for adults<\/strong>, <strong>\u20ac1.20 for children<\/strong>, and <strong>\u20ac5.60 for a family ticket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for an answer to the question &#8220;what to do in T\u00e1bor when it rains,&#8221; this is one of the best options \u2014 especially if you have children with you.

Plants are organised according to how they serve people: medicinal, poisonous, industrial, food\u2026 It&#8217;s a fascinating way of looking at nature, and for me it was both educational and poetic.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find an arboretum, rock gardens, greenhouses, a pond, and even a peat bog. Personally, I was completely charmed by the <strong>corner with rescued handicapped animals<\/strong>, home to a fox called Sisi among others \u2014 she&#8217;s adorable and children don&#8217;t want to leave her.<\/p>\n<p>And now the best news: <strong>admission to the garden is free<\/strong>. Only the greenhouses cost a symbolic <strong>\u20ac0.80<\/strong>. The garden is open <strong>Monday\u2013Friday year-round<\/strong>, but at weekends only in July and August. So if you&#8217;re visiting outside summer, plan your visit for a weekday.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Jordan_%E2%80%94_the_Oldest_Dam_in_Central_Europe\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Jordan_the_Oldest_Dam_in_Central_Europe\"><\/span>8.

This reservoir was <strong>created in 1492<\/strong> (yes, the same year Columbus &#8220;discovered&#8221; America) and with an area of over <strong>51 hectares<\/strong>, it&#8217;s the oldest dam in Central Europe.<\/p>\n<p>In summer, Jord\u00e1n is a swimmer&#8217;s paradise. <strong>Slune\u010dn\u00ed pl\u00e1\u017e (Sun Beach)<\/strong> on the southern shore offers changing rooms, showers, toilets, a children&#8217;s playground, and refreshments \u2014 and admission is <strong>free<\/strong>. If you fancy getting on the water, you can rent <strong>pedal boats for about \u20ac5 per hour<\/strong> and paddle with views of the old town skyline. In winter, people ice-skate here, and year-round you&#8217;ll find anglers.<\/p>\n<p>Even if you&#8217;re not planning to swim, I recommend a <strong>walk around Jord\u00e1n<\/strong>. The path follows the waterside, is pleasantly shaded, and offers gorgeous views of the historic centre. Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I spent an evening here and it was one of the loveliest spots to unwind after a full day of exploring.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Tabor_Zoo\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Tabor_Zoo\"><\/span>9.

The <strong>Baroque pilgrimage complex of Klokoty<\/strong> is about <strong>1 km from \u017di\u017eka Square<\/strong> and since 2018 has been a <strong>National Cultural Monument<\/strong> \u2014 which speaks for itself.<\/p>\n<p>The centrepiece is the <strong>Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary<\/strong>, built between 1701 and 1730. Around it runs a <strong>Stations of the Cross with 14 stops<\/strong>, and by the chapel below you&#8217;ll find a <strong>spring<\/strong> that supposedly has healing properties. I&#8217;m not into esoterics, but the water was refreshingly cool and the place was incredibly peaceful.<\/p>\n<p>Admission is <strong>free<\/strong> and from \u017di\u017eka Square you can walk here in fifteen minutes. If you have a bit of extra time in T\u00e1bor, head here \u2014 especially in the late afternoon, when the sun is shining and the complex is almost deserted. It&#8217;s one of those places where you stop, take a breath, and say to yourself: &#8220;Yes, this was worth it.&#8221; \u263a\ufe0f<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_Trips_Near_Tabor_5_Ideas_Within_30_Minutes\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Day_Trips_Near_Tabor_5_Ideas_Within_30_Minutes\"><\/span>Day Trips Near T\u00e1bor: 5 Ideas Within 30 Minutes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The T\u00e1bor region has plenty to offer beyond the town itself.

The <strong>ruins of a Gothic castle<\/strong> lie about <strong>5 km from the centre of T\u00e1bor<\/strong>, and it was here that <strong>Jan Hus stayed in 1412\u20131414<\/strong>, before he left for the Council of Constance, from which he never returned.<\/p>\n<p>Not much of the castle is still standing, but the atmosphere is powerful \u2014 especially when you realise that a man who changed the history of all of Europe once walked these grounds. Admission is <strong>about \u20ac1.20<\/strong> and the castle is open <strong>May\u2013September<\/strong> (closed Mondays).<\/p>\n<p>A lovely option is to <strong>walk here from Sezimovo \u00dast\u00ed<\/strong> \u2014 the forest walk takes just under an hour and covers pleasant terrain.

Instead, you&#8217;ll be amazed by the <strong>stunning colours of the marble<\/strong> \u2014 from white through pink to green and black. It&#8217;s a completely different experience from what you might know from the Moravian Karst or elsewhere.<\/p>\n<p>The guided tour lasts <strong>45 minutes<\/strong> and costs <strong>about \u20ac5.60<\/strong>. The cave is open <strong>April\u2013October<\/strong>. But beware \u2014 I must warn you: the route includes approximately <strong>400 steps<\/strong> and is <strong>more physically demanding<\/strong> than most Czech caves. With small children or limited mobility, it could be a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that you can get here by <strong>local bus from T\u00e1bor<\/strong> \u2014 you don&#8217;t need a car.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/16-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Beautiful doorways in T\u00e1bor\" class=\"wp-image-51506\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/16-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/16-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/16-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/16-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/16-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">We&#8217;ll definitely come back to T\u00e1bor \u2014 not just for the beautiful doors and the wine \ud83d\ude42<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Cervena_Lhota_%E2%80%94_a_Fairytale_Chateau_on_Water\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"17_Cervena_Lhota_a_Fairytale_Chateau_on_Water\"><\/span>17. \u010cerven\u00e1 Lhota \u2014 a Fairytale Ch\u00e2teau on Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You&#8217;ve seen \u010cerven\u00e1 Lhota in photos even if you&#8217;ve never been there.

It&#8217;s a beautiful walk along the river \u2014 and the bridge itself is a surprisingly elegant structure that&#8217;s well worth a detour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>T\u00e1bor with Small Children: Play Areas and Kids&#8217; Corners<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>T\u00e1bor is a pleasant town for families with children too \u2014 you&#8217;ll find several establishments with play areas or kids&#8217; corners where parents can relax while the little ones have fun. Among the restaurants with children&#8217;s corners are <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ukocek.cz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U Dvou Ko\u010dek<\/a><\/strong> on Svato\u0161ova Street, a stylish Hussite-themed restaurant with vaulted ceilings, <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cerna-perla.cz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u010cern\u00e1 Perla<\/a><\/strong> on \u0160afa\u0159\u00edkova Street with exceptional views over the town, and Hous\u016fv Ml\u00fdn below Hole\u010dkovy Sady. A popular choice is also the Pintovka forest restaurant near Kotnov Castle, which has a large outdoor children&#8217;s playground with climbing frames and slides.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking specifically for an indoor play centre or a caf\u00e9 with a play area, T\u00e1bor has six of them. M\u011bste\u010dko at Jump Arena on Sob\u011bslavsk\u00e1 Street is ideal for children aged 1 to 5 \u2014 there&#8217;s a multi-level labyrinth, slides, and a ball pit ocean. Herna Safari in the Univerzita centre on Van\u010durova Street offers trampolines, a ball pool, and slides on 200 m\u00b2 for children up to 8. <\/p>\n<p>Parents of the tiniest tots will appreciate Mimi Kafe on Sob\u011bslavsk\u00e1 Street, a caf\u00e9 with wooden toys, climbing frames, and sensory play, suitable even for babies. At Tesco T\u00e1bor there&#8217;s Kul\u00ed\u0161kov with a large climbing structure, trampoline, and ball pool, open daily from 9am to 7pm. D\u011btsk\u00fd sv\u011bt and Caf\u00e9 Ela at OC Dvo\u0159\u00e1k combines trampolines, slides, a mirror maze, and a toboggan with a nice caf\u00e9 where you can have coffee or pizza. And for the youngest ones up to 6, there&#8217;s Herna RC Radost on Kpt. N\u00e1lepky Street, where the first visit is even free.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat_and_Drink_in_Tabor\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_Eat_and_Drink_in_Tabor\"><\/span>Where to Eat and Drink in T\u00e1bor<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I must admit that T\u00e1bor&#8217;s food scene completely caught me off guard.

In a town of 35,000 people.

Jan \u017di\u017eka of Trocnov built a fortress here and deliberately designed the streets as a labyrinth for defence against attackers. The Hussite Taborites practised an egalitarian community where property was shared. This fascinating history is still alive \u2014 in the town&#8217;s architecture, in the Hussite Museum, and at the T\u00e1borsk\u00e1 Setk\u00e1n\u00ed festival every September.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1740700000006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_far_is_Tabor_from_Prague\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_far_is_Tabor_from_Prague\"><\/span>How far is T\u00e1bor from Prague?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n<p>T\u00e1bor lies about 90 km south of Prague.
