TL; DR - What do you learn in the article?
The city of Olomouc will surprise anyone who expects only a historic square and tvarůžky. It offers experiences for young and old adventurers - from outdoor escapes for children and adults to adrenaline bungee jumping from a crane to a ride in a Ferrari or Lamborghini.
There is also relaxation in the beer spa or a gourmet experience in the Mussel Factory, where they serve mussels better than on a seaside holiday. We also recommend a trip to Svatý Kopeček, the zoo and the botanical garden or a walk around the castle walls. In short, the perfect mix of adventure, relaxation and taste.
Where to go in Olomouc with children? Go on an escape game
Not every trip has to be about racking up the miles of sightseeing. If you're looking for an experience that will keep the kids entertained, check out the outdoor escape games in and around Olomouc. While playing, you'll walk around interesting places, learn lots of interesting facts about the city, and still have a lot of fun.
For example, the outdoor escape game Destruction of Planet Earth is tailored to children, beginners in playing escape games. Thanks to its easy level, it can be mastered by adventurers as young as 10 years old. The Camp Adventure Escape Game is more advanced, but still suitable for children aged 15 and up. With them, you can travel back in time and reminisce about summer camps and trails of courage.
Experiences in Olomouc for adrenaline and action lovers
It's getting hot in here. If you're too scared to be scared, we recommend the biggest adrenaline rush you can try in the Olomouc region - bungee jumping from a crane, where you can free-fall straight from 50 metres. Don't worry, after a few seconds of falling you will be caught by a flexible rope and you will fly up and down for a while. Knock-knees and ear-splitting smiles are included in the price of the experience. You can jump alone, or go in tandem. Anyone taller than 120 cm and heavier than 50 kg can try bungee jumping in Olomouc.
And if you prefer flying to falling, how about tandem paragliding? Or a helicopter flight over Olomouc? Such sights are not easy to miss. If you love the feeling of freedom and perspective - you'll get it here in spades.
Olomouc as a paradise for motorsport lovers
Olomouc may not have a racing circuit, but motorsport fans will definitely find something to love here. You can take a ride in such gems as the Ferrari California T, which can go from zero to 60 in 3.6 seconds. You'll test your driving skills and the performance of this sports car on both the motorway and the motorway. And you'd rather test the lambo? When you drive the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, you'll have the chance to tame the 560 horsepower herd under the hood.
If you prefer mud and dust to tarmac, then you won't want to miss out on autocrossing in a buggy, specifically the Kart RSK racing buggy. The small but hellishly nimble little beast will take you around a special track and show you what it means to drive with your whole body.
Where to go in Olomouc to relax? Wellness and a piece of grub
After a day full of adventures, you deserve to relax. And Olomouc knows how to pamper you. How about a soak in a hot beer spa, where the scent of hops combines with pleasantly warm water?
This wonderful beer wellness melts away stress, stiff muscles and, thanks to brewer's yeast and beer extracts , heals your skin, even the eczematous one. As well as a beer bath, you can also pop into the whirlpool, sauna or take a sip on the straw bed. And, of course, sip beer straight from the tap.
After so many experiences, it's time to reward yourself on a plate. But where to have lunch in Olomouc? You certainly shouldn't miss the Mušlárna in Nezval's Ars. Here you can enjoy a 3-course menu, where the main role is played by fresh mussels prepared in various ways. Each course is a culinary experience that will delight your taste buds. A gourmet experience like no other.
