Plan a trip to Tabor

A city with an interesting cityscape, Tabor is home to some historic sites, including a system of tunnels beneath the Old Town.

Though a large part of the ancient fortifications has been demolished, Tabor still preserves many memorials of its past fame. In the centre of the city is Zizka Square. Only very narrow streets lead to it, to rendering reaching it more difficult in time of war. First-time visitors will not even suspect that there is an ingenious labyrinth of tunnels under the houses and streets here. The townspeople dug cellars under their houses and these were subsequently interconnected; an approximately 1 km-long section of the tunnel system is open to the public. Major parts of the ancient fortifications and the ancient Kotnov tower and gate of Bechyně near the tower still exist.
