Timeline
10:00
Head straight to the Regional Museum in Olomouc on Náměstí Republiky. The museum opens at 10:00 in the October–March season, making this the perfect time to beat the crowds and explore the old Olomouc section with its woodcuts, prints, and traditional dress exhibits. In the April–September season, the doors open an hour earlier at 09:00.
10:45
Walk just one minute to Cafe 87, located in the same building as the museum of modern art. Order their excellent English-style breakfast or, if you are visiting later in the day, their famous chocolate cakes for 42 Kč. The café is open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 19:00, and on weekends from 09:00 to 18:00, so it is always available for a sweet break after your museum visit.
11:15
Stroll for seven minutes south-southeast to the Botanical Garden. This is a peaceful green space to enjoy the fresh air and quiet atmosphere. It is an ideal spot to digest your cake and reflect on the history you just saw, away from the main square's bustle.
Local tip
The Regional Museum is closed on Mondays, so plan your visit for Tuesday through Sunday. Cafe 87 is closed on Sundays, so if you are visiting on a weekend, you might prefer a different café for your cake.
