Castle above Freedom Square
Špilberk
náměstí Svobody, Zelný trh, Petrov
The castle and the old town below it are one walk. Špilberk, Freedom Square and the cathedral of St Peter and St Paul, with the abbey and the Mendel museum at the west foot.

Špilberk above Freedom Square and the cathedral of St Peter and Paul, with the abbey and the Mendel Museum at the western foot.
The first day: the square in the morning, then the climb to Špilberk. In the evening the cabbage market is calmer than the square.
A practical base by Freedom Square. A suitcase is wasted on the hill itself.

Freedom Square is the flat centre, the cathedral is on Petrov hill just south, and Špilberk is the higher castle to the west. The abbey and Mendel are at the castle's western foot: a descent, rather than a room inside the fortress.
