Penzion Janová

Ostrava is a city in the north-east of the Czech Republic and the capital of the Moravian-Silesian Region. It has about 281,000 inhabitants. It lies near the border with Poland, at the confluences of four rivers: Oder, Opava, Ostravice and Lučina. Ostrava is the third largest city in the Czech Republic in terms of both population and area, the second largest city in the region of Moravia, and the largest city in the historical land of Czech Silesia. It straddles the border of the two historic lands of Moravia and Silesia. The wider conurbation — which also includes the towns of Bohumín, Havířov, Karviná, Orlová, Petřvald and Rychvald — is home to about 500,000 people, making it the largest urban area in the Czech Republic apart from the capital Prague.

As the third-largest city in the country, Ostrava is known for its rich history and industrial heritage. The city was once a hub for coal mining and steel production, which has left a lasting impact on the city's culture and architecture. Today, you can see remnants of this industrial past in the city's landmarks, such as the iconic Bolt Tower, towering above the city skyline.

But Ostrava is more than just a city of steel and coal. It's also a cultural melting pot, with a diverse population that has shaped the city's food, music, and art scene. You can explore the city's vibrant street art scene, attend a classical music concert at the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra, or sample traditional Czech cuisine at one of the many local restaurants.
