Hradec Králové
Hradec Králové is regarded as a gem of Czech Art Nouveau and modern urban planning – architects such as Jan Kotěra and Josef Gočár created a harmonious ensemble of Art Nouveau and Cubist buildings here at the start of the 20th century. The old town sits on a plateau above the Elbe and offers a contrasting city walk from Gothic to Modernist architecture. This lively university city on the border of Bohemia and Moravia is an often underestimated architectural jewel of Central Europe.
