DAY 4: Litomyšl

This historical eastern Bohemian town is probably the most progressive one in terms of symbiosis of historical and modern architecture.  Check the Renaissance Chateau that is inscribed in UNESCO list, visit some of the local museums and galleries and check some great examples of modern architecture here as well. E.g. the indoor swimming pool, the reconstruction of the Church of the Finding of the Holy Cross, the bus terminal, etc.
