    Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque buildings, protected in the town's conservation reserve, declared in 1978, will remind you of the historical glory of royal Litoměřice as mute witnesses. Of the 256 buildings, 104 are listed on the state list of immovable cultural monuments and almost all of them can be found in the historic city centre, which is largely bounded by preserved Gothic fortifications.
    Houses around the square, historical cellars, many churches, a museum, several galleries and many other attractions are waiting for your interest and your visit.

However, Litoměřice is not only a city rich in history, but also a city alive with culture and sport. Visitors will find galleries, museums, theatre and cinema, various sports facilities, swimming pools and golf courses. The exhibition centre hosts a number of exhibitions throughout the year, the most visited of which is the Garden of Bohemia in autumn .
