In the rolling Eastern Bohemian landscape ull o sun is the smalltown o Litomyl, which surrounds a castle inscribed on theUNESCO cultural heritage list. History has created a marvellous ur-ban complex here, enchantingly harmonic and picturesque.

Czechs love music. The heritage o Czech music is rich, beautiuland varied, just like the countrys landscape. Its charm and raw-ness can be heard in the symphonies and operas, are refected inthe colourul and passionate olklore, and resonate in dreamy jazzmelodies.
